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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Let’s start with a definition…
• Transitions or Transitional Expressions
▫ Words, phrases, or sentences that provide the
reader with directions for how to piece together
your ideas into a logically coherent argument.
Transitions are not just verbal decorations that
embellish your paper by making it sound or read
better. They are words with particular meanings
that tell the reader to think and react in a
particular way to your ideas. In providing the
reader with these important cues, transitions help
readers understand the logic of how your ideas fit
together.
3. Clues you might need to work on
your transitions…
• Your instructor has written comments like "choppy,"
"jumpy," "abrupt," "flow," "need signposts," or "how is
this related?" on your papers.
• Your readers (instructors, friends, or classmates) tell you
that they had trouble following your organization or
train of thought.
• You tend to write the way you think—and your brain
often jumps from one idea to another pretty quickly.
• You wrote your paper in several discrete "chunks" and
then pasted them together.
• You are working on a group paper; the draft you are
working on was created by pasting pieces of several
people's writing together.
4. Advice for incorporating
transitions in your writing…
1. Use transitions between paragraphs to signal
connections between idea segments. Use
transitions within paragraphs to signal a
change from one sentence to another or from
one section of the paragraph to another.
2. Use sufficient transitions to provide coherence
(holding together, like glue) and continuity
(making the thought process easy to follow).
5. Advice (continued) for incorporating
transitions in your writing…
3. Avoid using too many strong transitions. Be careful to
avoid littering your writing with however and
nevertheless. Strong transitions should be used
sparingly.
4. Transitions become stronger when they are placed at
the beginning (or end) of a sentence, milder when they
are moved into the sentence. Generally, moving
transitions into the sentence is the better choice. Some
examples:
Stronger at beginning: Another example of a succulent plant is
the barrel cactus.
Milder moved inside: The barrel cactus is another example of a
succulent plant.
Stronger at beginning: However, American gold jewelry is less
pure than European.
Milder moved inside: American gold jewelry, however, is less
pure than European.
6. Remember…
The organization of your written work
includes two elements:
(1)the order in which you have chosen to
present the different parts of your
discussion or argument, and
(2) the relationships you construct between
these parts. Transitions cannot
substitute for good organization, but
they can make your organization
clearer and easier to follow.
7. And finally,…
• Effectively constructing each transition often
depends upon your ability to identify words or
phrases that will indicate for the reader the kind of
logical relationships you want to convey. The table
on the following slide should make it easier for you
to find these words or phrases.
