The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to prevent mass emigration to West Berlin. It divided the city between the communist East and democratic West until 1989 when the East German government opened the border crossings and began dismantling the Wall. The Wall had a major impact on the lives of Berliners, restricting movement and separating families between East and West for over 28 years until its fall helped lead to German reunification in 1990.

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

The Fall of the Berlin Wall 2nd Period Guyer
1. The Fall of the Berlin Wall Courtney Destiny Brad By:
2. Introduction The Berlin Wall was built simply to keep democracy and communism separated, and to stop East Berliners from escaping from the Soviet controlled East German State. But how do you think the Berlin Wall affected the lives of the people around it?
3. Who? Who Built the Berlin Wall? The German Democratic Republic built the Berlin Wall, also known as East Germany. Who Tore down the Wall? East Berlin tore down the wall. Who all was effected by the Berlin Wall? East Germany West Germany East Berliners West Berliners Soviets
4. Who? Who was the Berlin Wall built for? East and West Berlin were very different. West Berlin had a capitalist society and lived well with appliances and free travel. East Berlin was run by the Soviets and had to send all their equipment to the Soviet Union to fix destruction from the war. It became a communist run society. The economy was severely dropping and people wanted out. The population in East Berlin rapidly dropped. The government then decided to build a wall that prevented the people from leaving and going into the west side.
5. What? What was it? The Berlin Wall was a concrete barrier that was built to enclose West Berlin, which separated it from East Germany and East Berlin. Was a “symbolic” boundary between communism and democracy during the Cold War. What was the purpose? The purpose of the Berlin Wall was to prevent migration into East Berlin, unlike today where people migrate from country to country. What is checkpoint Charlie? One of the many border crossing points in which people could migrate into the City of Berlin.
6. What? What led to the creation of the Berlin Wall? Once World War II ended, the Allied Powers divided Germany into four parts. Each part was occupied by either the United States, Great Britain, France, or the Soviet Union. However, the differences between the Soviet Union and the other three Allied Powers led to Germany being a competitive country. This led to Germany being divided into two sides, West and East, Democracy and Communism. Just like Germany, Berlin was separated into two sides. This planted the seed for the building of the Berlin Wall.
7. When? When was Germany separated into East and West? In 1949 When did people start wanting out of East Berlin? In the late 1950s When was it built? The Berlin Wall was built on August 12th and 13th, 1961. When were the doors of the wall opened? On November 9, 1989 the East opened the doors of the Berlin Wall. When did East and West Germany come together to form one country? They reconciled October 3rd, 1990
10. Where? The Berlin wall was located in Germany. The wall ran through the center of and all around West Berlin.
11. Why? Why was the wall torn down? The Berlin wall was torn down because East Berlin wanted to be one free country with West Berlin. The destruction of the wall was celebrated all over the world. Why was the Berlin Wall Built? As a symbol of the Cold War and to separate East and West Berlin. To prevent emigration from East Berlin into West Berlin or any other part of Germany.
12. Target Question How did the wall keep people out? The wall went through four transitions. It was first made out of barbed wire and concrete posts. A few days after it was built, it changed to a stronger structure made out of concrete blocks and barbed wire. It was then made into a concrete wall with steel girders. The last transformation was consisted of concrete slabs almost twelve feet high and four feet wide. To keep people from scaling the wall, it was topped with a smooth pipe.
13. Points of view East: The East side of Berlin was run by Communists. Because of the damage World War II did on the Soviet Union, East Berlin had to keep sending their equipment to them to help rebuild. Doing this took a lot from East Berlin and there wasn’t much for them. This made the people want to leave, which led to the building of the Berlin Wall. In 1989, the East Berliners decided to tear down the wall and make Berlin on free country. West: The West side was run by Capitalists and Democrats. Their economy was rising drastically. They were able to travel wherever they wanted and whenever they wanted. They had plenty of materials for all of their people. After the wall was built, West Berliners hated the wall just as much as the East. They tried to help a lot of the East Berliners over the wall but a lot got caught.
14.
15. Our View We didn’t agree with the Berlin wall. Why?... We think it was a waste of money to build a huge wall just because two countries have different political views. Instead of building a huge wall they should have just acted like adults and worked the problem out. The Government should have thought about what it was going to do to the people that lived there, on both sides of the wall. But instead they built the wall and didn’t even bother to think about how it affected the peoples lives who live around it.
16. Conclusion Ronald Reagan was the first to address the idea that the Berlin Wall needed to be torn down. He said in his speech, in 1987, right in front of the Berlin Wall, “Mr. Gorbachev , tear down this wall!” The thoughts and writing on the Berlin Wall will remain in our hearts forever.
