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.
2. Borrow and Reuse
TIME SAVED: one hour per assignment
Don’t be afraid to ask other instructors who teach the same or similar
courses for help or ideas on lesson plans and assignments. They have
already done the work – use them as a reference! This will help you
save time when coming up with your own course schedule, lesson
plans, and assignments.
Ask for specific ideas on lectures and assignments in the areas you
need some help. This way you won’t have to wade through
superfluous information that doesn’t apply to your classroom.
Every year, assess how your lesson plans and assignments went.
Tweak where necessary.
Make note of student questions or trouble areas on assignments.
Use these to stamp out problems before they begin – be more
specific in direction, explain certain topics a bit better, and post
frequently asked questions for students.
3. Peer Critique or Grading
TIME SAVED: 20+ minutes per student
Students can be great at giving feedback to their peers. Use that to
your advantage! Have your students critique, edit, or grade each
other’s papers, or, have them do all three! Here are some ideas for
how you can use these methods in your classroom.
Have students critique and edit each other’s papers before the final
draft is due. Save time by only grading the final draft, which has
already gone through a number of edits and revisions.
Have multiple students grade each paper on their own, then
average the given scores.
Ask students to grade each other’s papers before they are turned
into you. When you go through to grade each paper, you can look
at the student-given feedback and agree or disagree. If you agree,
not much more additional feedback is needed. If you disagree,
comment where and why.
4. Ungraded Assignments
TIME SAVED: varies according to assignment length
Students can learn from assignments that are never collected or
graded. The work they perform while completing the assignment is
what helps them to learn. The beauty of these assignments? They
help your students learn but take up no more of your time. Below are
some great assignments to try.
• One Minute Papers – ask your students at the end of a lecture or
during a natural pause to write down the most important topics
from that section’s discussion. This helps reiterate the information
presented in class and helps as a reference later when studying for
exams or simply reviewing notes.
• Require students to keep a daily journal or blog in which they are to
keep track of important topics from class and put their ideas and
thoughts into words.
5. Prevent Grading Bottlenecks
TIME SAVED: varies
Even if you only assign a single paper or large assignment over the
course of your class, the week or so of your life after the due date
goes towards grading. You can spread out your time more evenly by
using one of these different methods.
• If the larger assignments you have for your class can be easily
divided into clear sections, break them into parts and assign each
section at a different time. Being able to grade smaller sections
over a matter of weeks will reduce the grading required with the
final draft.
• Encourage early submissions to get some grading out of the way.
• Stagger due dates by requiring a portion of your class to turn in
papers on one date, another portion a few days later, and another
portion a few days after that. This helps you to pace yourself and
not feel too overwhelmed.
6. Peer Assistance
TIME SAVED: 5+ hours per student each semester
As mentioned before, students truly can give good feedback to their
peers. They can also act as a great source of information about the
class if they pay attention! Instead of letting your students flood you
with simple, sometimes silly questions, encourage them to ask their
peers before coming to you.
• Have a few short breaks throughout lectures and allow students to
help each other fill in any blanks they might have in their notes or
clarify fuzzy points.
• Have student lead review sessions where students can ask their
classmates questions they might have. Let the others answer the
questions they are sure of, and step in when needed.
• Have a question and answer forum on your content management
service where students can both ask and answer questions.
7. Streamlined Schedules
TIME SAVED: 1+ hours per day
Sometimes simply having a great schedule and sticking to it can help
you accomplish more in a shorter period of time. Here are some ideas
to help you streamline your day.
• Set aside an hour or two to answer emails and return phone calls.
During this time, do only those tasks. During any other time, don’t
allow those things to break up your work flow.
• Schedule work for your most productive hours. If your best hours
are first thing in the morning, work on your most important tasks
then. Whatever you do, don’t schedule time for important tasks for
parts of the day when you feel sluggish.
• Make a list of your To Dos and group the most important and time
sensitive tasks together. Work on them first, without interruption.
Knowing that it is important that these tasks be finished, and soon,
will help keep you focused and getting things finished.
8. Use Technology
TIME SAVED: 10-200+ hours per semester
A plethora of tools exist to help teachers in just as many ways. These
tools aren’t always fancy, but certainly perform valuable tasks.
Whether it’s content management or sharing information with your
students, below you can find some tools that can help you save time
inside and out of your classroom.
• Use content management systems like Blackboard or Moodle
• Help create and store content using wiki pages, blogs programs
such as Wordpress, Typepad, and Blogger, Whiteboards, office tools
like Microsoft Office and Google Documents, and podcasts and
videocasts
• Share original and other content using RSS Feeds, social
bookmarking, social networking, photo and video sharing, and
Slideshare
