L1 in an English classroom: forbidden or welcomed? (talk)
We all sometimes use L1 in our classrooms: to tell off a naughty student, to give complicated instructions, or even to traslate a word. However, it almost never feels right. As though we reveal our weakness.
What if use L1 in a principled way? Will our learners really benefit? Will it help them finally see how different the two languages are, and that translation in fact does not always work? Let’s find out.
Three takeaways
Participants will:
1 learn when L1 usage is appropriate
2 learn how L1 can be used for learning purposes
3 get practical ideas on how to use L1
Tips and strategies to assist students and teachers to organize their curriculum to help students achieve optimal results for the TOEIC Listening and Reading Test.

MISSION: Helping People Go Global
Our mission is to help people go global, creating opportunities to learn from people across the world. For anyone who desires to learn or teach, we make it easy, convenient, and affordable to share skills and knowledge without regard to differences in language, culture, and nationality.
VISION: Sharing the World’s Knowledge
Our vision is to create a global skill-sharing marketplace. Every single person has a unique set of skills, knowledge, and experiences that someone else in the world will value. This abundance of talent and potential is currently untapped and limited to the general public. By connecting individuals worldwide, we enable people to access the world’s knowledge.
ABOUT: A Marketplace for English Learners and Teachers
We help English learners find the best teachers from all over the world and offer a platform where anyone can start one-on-one online English classes. Currently, we focus exclusively on English learning, but plan to expand to other skills in the near future.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
