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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Editor's Notes
REMEMBER TO THANK LAURA WOOD, EVAN SIMPSON, LAURA WALTERS, ALICIA MORRIS FOR THEIR INCREDIBLE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENTTufts is a private university with campuses in Boston, Medford/Somerville & Grafton, Mass., and Talloires, France. Total students: 10,837Undergraduates: 5,255Graduate and professional: 5,582Total libraries: 6 Campuses: 4 (Medford/Somerville; Boston; Grafton; Talloires, France)Our group serves the A, S & Engineering communitiesIn 2010-2011 Tufts Office of Research Administration (ORA) convened a meeting of all departments involved with NSF proposals to discuss support scenarios for the new requirement. Also invited were Tufts Libraries, Digital Collections and Archives, and Tufts Technology Services.Although Tufts’ Digital Repository could have provided information to researchers about one piece of data management, metadata and open access, neither they nor Office of Research were prepared to assist faculty with the bigger picture of developing data management plans. Tisch Library’s Head of Technical Services and Metadata suggested that Tisch Library would be able to provide this support.
Mention how DMP consulting was way to get started with RDM education “foot in the door”Goals for Group:Provide data management plan support & developmentProvide updated information on evolving federal open data requirements and guidelinesEducate researchers (faculty, staff, students) about research data management, open data, and open accessCollaborate, coordinate, and consult with A, S and E on University-wide data management initiativesEducate University stakeholders about librarian’s rolesExplain relationship with Diane Souvaine using PLoS Data Policy/ICPSR “Open ICPSR Public Access Data Sharing Service” email as an example.data must be open in order to be accepted for publication, effective March 1PLOS journals require authors to make all data underlying the findings described in their manuscript fully available without restriction, with rare exception. If an author doesn’t comply with this requirement, their manuscript may be rejected.…authors must provide a Data Availability Statement describing compliance with PLOS's policy. The data availability statement will be published with the article if accepted. This statement must be included or the manuscript will be rejected.The Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) have announced their ‘openICPSR Public Access Data Collection Project’. They are offering to upload/deposit data (including raw) and make it open in order to meet federal open data requirements. We do work with NSF and other grant proposals from National Institutes of Health, National Endowment for the Humanities and non-governmental agencies Explain how we will customize depending on directorate Why don’t we use the DMP Tool?At this time Tufts has a different research data services infrastructure than universities with library data centers ,such as Purdue and California state universities; we’re very ‘hands-on’, and at this point we have the staff capacity to continue this personal approach rather than relying solely on electronic outreach. This type of outreach has led to additional embedded opportunities and library consultations.
These are our NECDMC Partners, we also have two librarians from Harvard’s Countway and one from University of Connecticut authors who just recently joined the author teams.
So, first how should these modules be used?Any way you want. While collectively the modules cover the seven different areas outlined by the NSF’s recommendations for what areas to touch upon in a data management plan, each module may be taught separately, and in any order.Module 1 is designed as an out-of-the-box, grab-and-go 90-minute session covering RDM issues and best practices. The other modules can be selected a la carte and adapted for your own institution and its needs.For each module we hope that you will adapt it to highlight your institutions’ tools, resources, contacts and policies for your students.
Savvy Researcher Series: Module 1 – attended by 3 A&S grant administrators!
Universities that are considering piloting NECDMC
These are some examples of how NECDMC is being used or adapted by librarians at the pilot sites.
Lifecycle:A student had thought about the research data lifecycle as linear, and now thinks about as cyclical.Sharing and storage: A student found it beneficial to understand the risks associated with data sharing and storage applications.Data retention: A student found it beneficial to know that someone could request data even after the 6-year recommendation and that journal articles could be retracted because data could not be verified.Technical Standards: A student remarked:” I never would have guessed as something so small as a date format could affect the accessibility of the data.”Licensing: A student had not considered granting a level of access to his data
Metadata: One student wanted specific examples of metadata templates; another adapting Dublin Core for engineering dataSeveral students wanted institution-specific details about policies, tools and support available to support them Data Quality: A student wanted information on quality, which the NECDMC does not addressSharing: a student wanted more information about what data can be shared during various stages of the research projectModule 7 was not complete at the time of piloting and many students had questions about depositing data in repositories and costs associated with this.
NSF Directorates Meeting Highlights: sanctioned by OVP for Research and Tisch Library Director; meetings arranged through a Tufts consultation organizationMet with 7 division directorates & Jean Feldman Head, Policy Office, Division of Institution and Award SupportHighlightswe were the first library to contact NSF about this topic, and that it’s great and important that libraries be deeply involved. (Also mention Melissa Cragin, NSF Fellow and formerly on faculty at GSLIS U of Illinois,; information scientist specializing in scientific production, scholarly communication, and data curation, worked on Data Conservancyidentifying best practices for DMP must be honed by individual disciplines; general guidance will be high level; and some directorates/divisions are ahead of othersgreat deal of value in the roles and work of libraries in future effortsreviewers and program officers can tell if researchers include a one size fits all plan on their proposal, and this is seen negatively. Researchers sometimes do this for DMP but also for broader impacts, mentoring, or other required aspects of a proposal.DMP Compliance: NSF recently made a change to require program staff to review DMP in reports, but the change was recent and data is not yet available on how it is working.Education surrounding best practices in research data management is seen as important part of the NSF requirements and all division directors were impressed with NECDMCRDMS Pilot ProjectCore Team is represented by TTS/Research Administration, Faculty/Grad, Tisch Library Goals: to select, implement, manage and support a University-wide research data management service for the Tufts research community. Verifies that the application helps ensure compliance with federal requirements (mainly NSF and NIH, but including all agencies under The White House Office of Science and Technology Protocol’s (OSTP) guidance). Software being piloted:Agilent OpenLAB (ELN with additional document management functions)Local storage, accessed through web browserCal, NIH, McGill, many large companies (recent academic focus)LabArchives Professional Edition (Electronic Lab Notebook)Cloud storage, accessed through web browserCal Tech, Cornell, Yale, Stanford, Duke, Florida, UNC, Wisconsin Tisch roles: Participate in all meetings and trainingsAssist with the development of the pilot projectAssist in identifying faculty/researchers to contact about participating in pilotUsing the NECDMC curriculum management modules create "Beta-test" modified (i.e. three modules, 20 minutes total) curriculum with pilot participantsAssist in verifying the participants ability to export research data and metadata to other environments, especially DAM environments (institutional repository and subject repositories),Help assess if researchers are able to fulfill federal data management requirements and thus make Tufts competitive with other research I institutions
