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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

7. “What are we having this liberty for?
We are having this liberty in order to
reform our social system, which is full
of inequality, discrimination and other
things, which conflict with our
fundamental rights.”
B. R. Ambedkar
10. Wikileaks is a non-profit media
organization who publish relevant
material, voluntarily given by
the brave whistleblowers,
coupled with investigative journalism
11. What sort of material do they publish?
“Wikileaks publishes material of
ethical, political and historical
significance while keeping the identity of
sources(whistleblowers) anonymous,
thus providing a universal way for the
revealing of suppressed and censored
injustices.”
http://wikileaks.ch/
12. Investigative journalism?
“Investigative journalism is distinct
from apparently similar work done
by police, lawyers, auditors and
regulatory bodies in that it is
not limited as to target,
not legally founded
and
closely connected to publicity.”
Hugo de Burgh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_de_Burgh
13. Recent Impact of
Investigative journalism In India
✗ Barak Missile Deal Scandal
✗ Increasing farmer suicideds` and Govt.
apathy in India

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehelka
And others
14. Are the activities of wikileaks
against law?
Not really. No law (already) present in
the US or UK can prosecute them.
Wikileaks stands for
➔ Freedom of Press
➔ Right to Information
Fundamental rights of any civilized
society in a democracy
15. What if Wikileaks/Julian Assange,
who are being accused of espionage are
convicted?
It would equal violation of Freedom of
Press.
And other media houses partnering with
Wikileaks for publishing the cables like the
NewYork Times in the US, The Hindu in
India, and hundreds of other publishers
would be analogically at the same risk
For, Wikileaks is also a publisher.
16. Important leaks published
by Wikileaks
● Document revealing the inhuman protocol of the U.S. Army
at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp (2006)
● The collected secret 'bibles' of Scientology (2008)

● Cash for Votes: Cable reiterating the ruckus created in

(2011)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks#Leaks
17. Why publish sensitive information and
Govt. secrets?
“The trend has been that many
Big Corporations and Government
secrets are illegitimate and for
prolonged periods of time.”
Julian Assange
18. “The fact is that when it comes to
judgement as to what should be
secret and what should not be
secret, Julian Assange's judgment
has been pretty good so far.”
Daniel Ellsberg, The Pentagon
Papers Whistle Blower
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Ellsberg
19. PM Manmohan Singh about the cash-for-votes
cable
"The government cannot confirm the veracity,
content or even the existence of such
communication."
Julian Asange's response
“A deliberate attempt to mislead the public by
suggesting that governments around the world do
not accept the material...
there is no doubt, whatsoever, that the cables are
authentic”
http://is.gd/JnfAyx
http://is.gd/JBxQLr
20. Soon, more cables with details on
Black money holders in Swiss
banks

21. Dubiousness of support lent to
Wikileaks
Because Wikileaks is head on with Big
Corporations and powerful
Governments, lot of smear campaign
has been ongoing, off late.
Media houses which initially stood by
Wikileaks have retracted succumbing to
the pressure from Govt. Authorities.
Here's a comparison of the stands taken by an
influential US media house
Neutral interview: http://is.gd/4cmg3O
Smear campaign: http://is.gd/G0LPT2

23. “It is important to progress
towards the idea of the Internet as
a neutral media that is not
controlled by large corporates or
governments."
Sir Tim Berners Lee,
on the role played by Internet in
the Egypt Revolution
http://is.gd/DnmPG7
27. “ We (US citizens) were taken
to war in Iraq on a lie.
Hundreds of thousands are now dead.
Just imagine if the men who planned
this war crime back in 2002 had had a
WikiLeaks to deal with. They might not
have been able to pull it off.”
Michael Moore
