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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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

Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
8 Things You Can Learn Free Online
1. The internet has revolutionized so many
aspects of our lives. A new
language, coding, designing, art, cooking
— things you would normally expect to
pay for - are all available online for free.
2. 1. Photography
To get started with the basics of photography, you should visit
photographycourse.net. This is a site without any distracting ads
and with content neatly laid out by skill level.
At photo.net/learn, you'll find a handy collection of (regularly
updated) articles and tutorials from photo professionals. And
when you need to brush up on your photography jargon, the
ever-popular DP Review has a comprehensive listing at
www.dpreview.com/glossary.
On the app side, Photography Tutorials (by Anton Gregory) is a
great free app for Android devices. This app curates and
organizes a large list of photography tutorials from around the
web — practically any beginner or advanced technique that you
need to know about is here.
3. 2. Computer programming
For JavaScript, jquery, PHP, Python and Ruby, head to
www.codeacademy.com. The interactive website offers step-by-
step instructions to familiarize you with the language, shortcuts
and other instructions.
You don't even need to sign-up, but do so if you want to keep
track of your course and resume from where you left off. A free
iPad app called Treehouse can teach you Objective-
C, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, and SQL. There is also a
dedicated section for iOS and Android app development if you
are interested in it.
You get access to various tutorial videos for learning, which are
constantly updated with new updates. As you move ahead in the
course, you have to take a regular quiz and complete interactive
challenges.
4. 3. A new language
Depending on what you currently speak, some languages are
easier to learn than others. For instance, if you know English
well, it'll be easier for you to pick up Spanish rather than
Russian.
The courses hosted on www.openculture.com are a pretty good
place to start. Duolingo is another great place to learn Spanish,
English, French, German, Portugese or Italian. Duolingo
'gamifies' the process with rewards. They also have free apps for
iOS and Android.
Other popular services include Live Mocha and Lang-8. While
you learn, you also act as an editor for someone learning your
native language — this keeps everything free.
5. 4. Cooking
Cooking is a fine art — any seasoned chef or homemaker will tell
you that cooking is not just about combining ingredients — it's
also about applying hundreds of little tricks and techniques that
usually take years to master.
Luckily, you can find a lot of tips on basic cooking techniques at
simplyrecipes.com (they also offer free apps). Over at
reluctantgourmet.com, the 'How to cook' tab will help you brush
up on roasting, poaching, grilling, frying, braising, baking and
everything in between.
A handy cooking converter at the bottom of every page can help
you convert quantities: tablespoons to teaspoons, litres to pints
and so on. For apps, two of our favourites are All Recipes and
Epicurious (free, for all platforms). They're easy to use, attractive
and customised for each platform.
6. 5. Artistic skills
It's possible to learn art at any stage as long as you have the
motivation. To learn the basics (colors, drawing
techniques, perspective and so on), head to artyfactory.com.
Meanwhile, at thevirtualinstructor.com you can find a list of art
lessons, tutorials, articles and videos curated from around the
web. When you want to do more, head to instructables.com —
where you can learn how to do stuff as diverse as watermelon
carving, making jewellery, puppets, and costumes.
You're also welcome to share your ideas with the community. On
the apps side, How to Draw by ArtelPlus (for iOS and Android) is
a good place to start. There's also a huge range of apps available
in the 'How to Draw' series — each app teaches something
specific.
7. 6. Self defence
You won't be able to learn advanced self defence
techniques or master a competition, but you can easily
pick up and practice basic martial arts and self defence
with some online help.
Lifehacker has a great, one-page guide to basic self
defence that can get you out of a sticky situation. This
includes tips on vulnerable parts of the body, how to
attack, leveraging your weight, basic kicks/punches
and how to administer/get out of basic holds. You can
find the guide here — goo.gl/gsFUBn. For apps, you
can try the Self Defense Trainer by Bizapp Media.
8. 7. Dancing
Unlike most others on this page, dancing needs you to
'do' more than read or look up. That's why tutorial
videos on various dance forms on YouTube are the first
place you should look.
Next, head to dancetothis.com and you can start
learning different dance moves and styles (hip hop,
pop, street, break dance, krumping, ballroom and so
on). Beyond that, practice is what you need.
9. 8. Free courses from top
universities
Prominent names like MIT ( Massachusetts Institute of
Technology), Harvard, Berkeley, University of Texas and
University of Toronto offer free online courses that anyone can
access.
You can either visit the individual websites of these institutions
or head to edx.org. Edx accumulates all free courses offered by
institutions across the world across subjects.
Choose a subject of your choice, select the institution you want
to learn from and join a course. There is no prerequisite
knowledge required for most courses and you get access to
various videos, transcripts and notes. You can even earn yourself
a certificate of course completion from Edx if you do all the
homework and pass the exam for a particular course.
