The English Civil War from 1642-1651 resulted from growing tensions between King Charles I, who believed in the divine right of kings, and the Parliament, which sought to limit the King's power. After Charles I was defeated, he was executed in 1649 and England became a republic led by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell later dissolved Parliament and ruled as Lord Protector until his death in 1658. The monarchy was restored in 1660 when Charles II became King, but agreed to share power with Parliament. This established England as a constitutional monarchy, further cemented by the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the English Bill of Rights, which defined the rights of citizens and limited the power of future monarchs.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Scotland England United Kingdom
3. Causes of the Civil War
Absolutism
Causes of distrust between James and Parliament:
* He was a “foreigner” ( England and Scotland had often been at war with each other)
• Brought Scottish “favorites” he could “trust” and gave them prominent positions
• Made Peace with Catholic Spain
• Allowed Catholics to have government positions, ability over religious beliefs.
• Spent large amounts of money on his court
• Had homosexual relationships.
He was often called “Queen James” by his friends.
When James died most members of Parliament were relieved.

4. Causes of the Civil War
Absolutism
Charles I of England
Learned absolutism from his father.
Very authoritarian.
Married a French Catholic princess – had 4 children.
Was not known to have a sense of humor.
Lived an extravagant lifestyle.
Very religious ( Anglican but obviously tolerated Catholics )
5. Causes of distrust between Charles and Parliament:
Charles levied taxes without Parliament’s consent - Magna Carta/creation of Parliament
“Only Parliament can levy taxes”
Abuse of the courts and legal system - Arrests without due-process, illegal/secret
courts (Star Chamber), torture, self-incrimination
Catholic wife – are children Protestant or Catholic?
“To which of you has God anointed to carry out His will?” – Charles I to Parliament
Causes of the Civil War
Absolutism vs. Parliament
Old House of Commons
6. Causes of the Civil War
Absolutism vs. Parliament
The House of Commons (Parliament) was known as the freest place in England.
Here members of Parliament could say what they wanted. Many members gave
speeches against the king and his abuses of power.
Charles saw this as treason, but he had no legal ability to do anything about it.
In 1629, an argument with Parliament over taxes led Charles to order Parliament to
close. Charles would attempt to rule by himself.
After 11 years of wars, Charles was in desperate need of increased tax revenue.
Only Parliament could legally increase taxes, so Charles was forced to call Parliament
back into session.
Parliament immediately passed a law making it illegal for the king to dissolve
Parliament and said “no” to his tax increase.
The frustration between King and Parliament was at an extreme level.
7. Causes of the Civil War
Absolutism vs. Parliament
Crossing the Line
Charles accused 5 members of Parliament of treason.
In an attempt to arrest the fugitives, Charles and his
Guards entered the House of Commons.
No noble/monarch had ever set foot in the House of
Commons. This was the “Chamber of the People”.
The king had “crossed the line”.
The accused men had fled, and Charles was forced to
leave empty handed.
Parliament responded to this “egregious violation” by
seizing control of London and calling for the King to
abdicate in favor of the people. The Speaker of the House tells the
King he is unable to tell him where the
fugitives are without permission from
the members of Parliament.
8. Causes of the Civil War
Absolutism vs. Parliament
Crossing the Line
The House of Commons in Parliament today. The yellow strip is woven into
the carpet and is as far as any noble or non-member of Parliament may enter
after being invited into the chamber unless they are given permission by the
Speaker of the House to approach the royal scepter of state.
Every year the House of Commons demonstrates their independence and
freedom by slamming their doors to the monarch’s messenger.
The Messenger is there to summon the commoners to the House of Lords for
the Monarch’s speech.

and became a Commonwealth / Republic .
This Commonwealth would be controlled by an elected Parliament.
Some members had been loyal to the king and had left.
Others had refused to put the King on trial and were removed.
Some had refused to sign the King’s death warrant and were removed.
The remaining members ( less than half ) were
called the Rump Parliament
Rump = the end / what's left over
The Rump Parliament would rule England.
There were no new elections to replace the
removed members.

On the morning of February 2, 1685, King Charles II of England was preparing to shave when he suddenly cried out in pain, fell to
the floor, and started having fits. Six royal physicians rushed in and administered emergency “aid.”

* They applied heated cups to the skin, which formed large round blisters, in order to “stimulate the system.”
* They let 8 more ounces of blood.

out his intestines.
* Then they force-fed him syrup of blackthorn and rock salt.
* They shaved his hair and put blistering plasters on his scalp. The king regained consciousness. The treatment seemed to be
working, so they kept at it.

* Then they applied hellebore root to the nostrils, more blistering plasters to the skin, and powdered cowslip flowers to the
stomach.
