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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Finding Human Nutrition
Information
!
Diane Clark ( AFNS Librarian), September 2014
1
2. Agenda
Where to find and how to use/search for
• Endnote Online
• books & journal articles
• clinical (point of care) nutrition
information
• grey literature
3. Objectives
• Manage your citations with EndNote
• Increase awareness of the range of
resources available in human nutrition
• Construct search strategies to retrieve
resources
4. Endnote
• keep track of citations for your papers
• works in Windows or Mac (using Cite While
You Write program) to include in-text
citations
• web-based
• Library > Databases > web of science
5. Scenario
“You are asked to write a
report about aboriginal
adolescents and their daily
intake of fruit and
vegetables in their diet. The
report will provide the
foundation for a prevention
programme aimed at this
population.”
Where do you start looking for information?
6. Finding books and journal articles on
nutrition & public health
• Books/ebooks – Provide
background/extensive coverage of
a topic, usually at undergraduate
level
• Journal articles – Latest research,
can be at a graduate level, review
articles a good place to start
• First search - Use Library search
box for books, articles, news
(www.library.ualberta.ca)
7. Databases: www.library.ualberta.ca
• Medline via Ovid
•Pubmed
!
•PEN
!
• SCOPUS
!
• Web of Science
!
• CINAHL
!
• Google Scholar (not really a database)
8. Build a good search strategy…
1: State your topic
Food security for aboriginal populations
!
2: Identify your main concepts
Food security and aboriginals
!
3: Determine your search terms -synonyms for each concept
Concept 1: Food security Food insecurity
Concept 2: Aboriginal* Indigenous* Native* Metis ….
!
4: Use truncation/wildcards
food secur* food insecur*
!
5: Assemble your search strategy using Boolean
“Food security” AND (Aboriginal* OR Indigenous* OR
Native*OR Metis* OR Inuit*)
9. Boolean Operators – OR
food
security OR
food
insecurity
food
availability
OR food
access
OR = more results
!
Use OR to combine
similar concepts or
synonyms
Examples of results of searching with OR:
10. Boolean Operators – AND
Food
security
Aboriginal*
OR
Indigenous
OR Metis
AND = less results
!
Use AND to combine
or narrow concepts
Example of one search result using AND:
11. Practice topic
• Methods to evaluate fruit and vegetable
consumption in adolescents
!

instrument
scor*
(“fruit* and vegetable*”) AND (adolescen* OR high school* OR teen* ) AND
(tool* OR questionnaire* OR survey* OR score OR scoring OR instrument)
13. General search tips
• Use the truncation symbol * to allow for multiple endings
(eg. obes* will retrieve obese and obesity)
• Put quotation marks around phrases “food security”
• Add the term “review” as an additional concept to your
search in order to find review articles on a topic
14. Clinical nutrition resources
Use “point of care” resources to find summaries of the
evidence on nutrition for particular health conditions
!
• Dynamed (demo)
(http://www.library.ualberta.ca)
15. What is grey literature?
Publications issued by
government, academia,
business, and industry,
in both print and
electronic formats, but
not controlled by
commercial publishing
interests, and where
publishing is not the
primary business activity
of the organization.
(Subramanyan, 1981).
16. Grey literature includes:
• Practice Guidelines*
• Education-related objects (toolkits, curriculums)
• Newsletters and Bulletins
• Research and technical reports*
• Working papers*
• Theses and dissertations
• Government documents*
• Standards and Patents*
• Clinical trial or ongoing research registries
• Fact sheets
• Blogs, emails, listservs, other informal communication
• Conference proceedings and meeting records*
• Statistics and statistical publications
17. Why use grey literature?
• Format (e.g. handbook) might be more appropriate for your
needs than scholarly article
• Often the only record of programs, initiatives or research done
by busy practitioners
• Removing publication bias (positive studies are over-represented
in journals)
• Rapidly published and can provide awareness of upcoming
research
• Sometimes the only available evidence on a topic
18. Examples of Internet grey lit sources
• PHAC’s Canadian Best Practice Portal http://cbpp-pcpe.
phac-aspc.gc.ca/
• Alberta Government nutrition page http://
www.health.alberta.ca/health-info/nutrition.html
• USDS Food and Nutrition Information Centre http://
fnic.nal.usda.gov
• Google Advanced (http://www.google.com/
advanced_search)
19. Why would you look for statistics?
Current and accurate statistics can enhance your
understanding of the communities you serve, and can
provide benchmarking or comparison information.
!
Possible to find statistics on:
• Health behaviours (smoking, drinking)
• Nutrition habits (breastfeeding, veggies)
• Health status
• Social determinants of health
• Demographic information
20. Finding statistics
• Nutrition resource guide
• Many research articles contain statistics. These
can be found by searching for journal articles.
Statistical terms such as incidence, prevalence,
epidemiolog*, survey can be useful to add to your
search.
• Government websites: StatCan, Alberta Health,
Edmonton, etc.
• Stakeholder websites (e.g. NGO’s, disease
associations and professional associations, etc)
21. Nutrition statistics website examples
• Database of Online Health Statistics
http://www.ihe.ca/publications/health-db/
• WHO http://www.who.int/nutrition/
databases/en/
22. Community statistic website examples
• StatCan Census Profiles http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/

23. What to do when you aren’t finding
anything…
• Think: who might have
created your perfect
information resource
• Try: other terms, other
sources/grey literature
• Experiment - Persevere
• Ask: for help from faculty,
librarians, peers
