The document discusses the passive voice in Spanish. It provides examples of changing sentences from active to passive voice. The passive is formed using the verb "to be" and the past participle. The agent is sometimes included after "by". Exceptions include verbs with two objects, reporting verbs, prepositional verbs, and causative verbs like "have" and "get". The passive voice is used when the agent is unknown, unimportant, or to focus on the object rather than subject of the sentence. Exercises are provided to practice changing sentences between active and passive voice and translating sentences between Spanish and English.
This is by no means an extremely accurate rendering of Passive Voice in English, but I did manage to put together information, examples and tips from various sources which I hope may be useful for anyone trying to understand this grammar point.
The participle adalah sebuah bentuk turunan kata kerja (verb) yang nantinya digunakan sebagai (adjective), (noun), atau compound verb form). Disini kita akan belajar mengenai 2 participles yaitu Present participles dan Past Participles. Selengkapnya kamu bisa buka materi diatas.

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

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.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

2. FORMA
La voz pasiva se forma con el verbo TO BE y otro verbo en
participio pasado:
Active: I keep the butter in the fridge.
Passive: The butter is kept in the fridge.
Active: They will steal the painting.
Passive: The painting will be stolen.
Active: They are repairing the road.
Passive: The road is being repaired.
Active: Shakespeare wrote Hamlet.
Passive: Hamlet was written by Shakespeare.
Active: A dog bit him.
Passive: He was bitten by a dog.
4. El verbo pasivo tiene dos partes:
1.- Verbo TO BE en el tiempo del verbo activo.
2.- Verbo principal en participio pasado.
Dos ejemplos:
ACTIVO: I WRITE letters – WRITE presente simple
PASIVO: Letters ARE WRITTEN – ARE presente simple
WRITTEN participio
ACTIVO: I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRITING letters –
WRITE con MODAL + HAVE (perfect) + BEEN V–ING (continuo)
PASIVO: Repetimos el mismo contexto con TO BE + participio:
MODAL + HAVE (perfect) + BEEN BE–ING + Participio
The letters SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEING WRITTEN
5. ALGUNOS EJEMPLOS:
ACTIVA PASIVA : to be + PARTICIPIO
WRITE IS/ARE WRITTEN
WROTE WAS/WERE WRITTEN
HAS/HAVE WRITTEN HAS/HAVE BEEN WRITTEN
WILL WRITE WILL BE WRITTEN
IS WRITING IS BEING WRITTEN
WAS WRITING WAS BEING WRITTEN
HAS/HAVE BEEN WRITING HAS/HAVE BEEN BEING WRITTEN
WILL BE WRITING WILL BE BEING WRITTEN
IS GOING TO WRITE IS GOING TO BE WRITTEN
CAN WRITE CAN BE WRITTEN
MUST HAVE WRITTEN MUST HAVE BEEN WRITTEN
6. Tomemos el siguiente ejemplo:
The police rescued the boy
The boy was rescued by the police.
La primera oración se encuentra en voz
activa. La segunda, en voz pasiva.
7. El objeto de la primera oración (the boy)
para a ser el sujeto en la oración en voz
pasiva.
The police rescued the boy.
The boy was rescued by the police.
8. El verbo de la primera oración (rescued)
se convierte en "was rescued".
Recordemos la regla: Se toma el
participio pasado del verbo y se agrega el
verbo to be conjugado en el tiempo que
corresponde (en este caso el pasado) y
para la persona que corresponde (the
boy).
The police rescued the boy.
The boy was rescued by the police.
9. El sujeto de la primera oración (the police)
pasa a ser complemento agente en la voz
pasiva, agregando by delante. El complemento
agente no siempre es colocado en la oración.
Solamente se agrega si es relevante.
The police rescued the boy.
The boy was rescued by the police.
SE CALCULA QUE EL 80% DE LAS
ORACIONES PASIVAS NO TIENEN EL
AGENTE EXPLÍCITO
10. USE
WE USE THE PASSIVE WHEN:
1.- The person performing the action (agent) is unknown,
unimportant or obvious from the context. We OMIT the agent:
The thief has already been caught. (obvious agent: the police).
That house was built in 1980. (unknown agent)
2.- When we are talking about the object rather than the subject:
Shakespeare wrote Macbeth (we are talking about Shakespeare)
Macbeth was written by Shakespeare (we are talking about Macbeth)
11. USE
COMPARACIÓN CON EL ESPAÑOL:
En español, siempre que sea posible se evita la pasiva. Hay dos
posibilidades para evitar decir :
“La Coca-Cola es bebida por millones de personas”
1.- Utilizar recursos sintácticos. Por ejemplo, trasladar el
complemento directo al principio de la frase, pronominalizar el
verbo y utilizar un verbo activo:
ACTIVA: Millones de personas beben Coca-Cola.
PASIVA: La Coca-Cola la beben millones de personas
2.- Utilizar pasivas reflejas con SE:
La Coca-Cola se bebe en todo el mundo.
En ambos casos, en inglés usaríamos la pasiva de forma natural:
Coke is drunk by millions of people.
Coke is drunk all over the world
