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.

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.

1.
2. William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely
regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the
world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's
national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving
works, including some collaborations, consist of about
38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several
other poems. His plays have been translated into every major
living language and are performed more often than those of any
other playwright.
3. Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the
age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three
children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Shakespeare
produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. His early
plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak
of sophistication and artistry by the end of the 16th century. He then
wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King
Lear, Othello, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the
English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also
known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights.
4.
5. William Shakespeare was the son of John
Shakespeare, an alderman and a successful glover originally
from Snitterfield, and Mary Arden, the daughter of an affluent
landowning farmer. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and
baptised there on 26 April 1564. His actual birthdate remains
unknown, but is traditionally observed on 23 April, St George's
Day. This date, which can be traced back to an 18th-century
scholar's mistake, has proved appealing to biographers, since
Shakespeare died 23 April 1616. He was the third child of eight and
the eldest surviving son.
Although no attendance records for the period survive, most
biographers agree that Shakespeare was probably educated at
the King's New School in Stratford, a free school chartered in
1553, about a quarter-mile from his home. Grammar
schools varied in quality during the Elizabethan era, but the
grammar curriculum was standardised by royal decree throughout
England, and the school would have provided an intensive
education in Latin grammar based upon Latin classical authors.
6. Poems
In 1593 and 1594, when the theatres were closed because
of plague, Shakespeare published two narrative poems on erotic
themes, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. He dedicated them
to Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. InVenus and Adonis, an
innocent Adonis rejects the sexual advances of Venus; while in The Rape
of Lucrece, the virtuous wife Lucrece is raped by the lustful Tarquin.
Influenced by Ovid's Metamorphoses, the poems show the guilt and
moral confusion that result from uncontrolled lust. Both proved popular
and were often reprinted during Shakespeare's lifetime. A third narrative
poem, A Lover's Complaint, in which a young woman laments her
seduction by a persuasive suitor, was printed in the first edition of
the Sonnets in 1609. Most scholars now accept that Shakespeare wrote A
Lover's Complaint. Critics consider that its fine qualities are marred by
leaden effects. The Phoenix and the Turtle, printed in Robert Chester's
1601 Love's Martyr, mourns the deaths of the legendary phoenix and his
lover, the faithful turtle dove. In 1599, two early drafts of sonnets 138 and
144 appeared in The Passionate Pilgrim, published under Shakespeare's
name but without his permission.
7.
8. Sonnets
Published in 1609, the Sonnets were the last of Shakespeare's non-
dramatic works to be printed. Scholars are not certain when each of the
154 sonnets was composed, but evidence suggests that Shakespeare wrote
sonnets throughout his career for a private readership. Even before the
two unauthorised sonnets appeared in The Passionate Pilgrim in
1599, Francis Meres had referred in 1598 to Shakespeare's "sugred Sonnets
among his private friends". Few analysts believe that the published
collection follows Shakespeare's intended sequence. He seems to have
planned two contrasting series: one about uncontrollable lust for a
married woman of dark complexion (the "dark lady"), and one about
conflicted love for a fair young man (the "fair youth"). It remains unclear
if these figures represent real individuals, or if the authorial "I" who
addresses them represents Shakespeare
himself, though Wordsworth believed that with the sonnets "Shakespeare
unlocked his heart“.
