This document provides information about using semicolons. It discusses how semicolons are used to connect two independent clauses that are closely related, to separate items in a list that contains commas, and before conjunctive adverbs when separating two independent clauses. Examples are given for each proper use of semicolons, including run-on sentences corrected with semicolons and lists separated with semicolons. Common conjunctive adverbs that require semicolons are also listed.

Accurate use of punctuation is a foremost need of communication; However, for business communication the need arises much more than usual. These are the rules of punctuation marks which you must apply in order to use punctuation accurately. Each and every sign is included in it, if not, then let me know.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

2. WHAT DO THESE SENTENCES HAVE IN COMMON?
Alma likes salad; Rick likes pizza.
Sam was going bald; his hair was falling out.
She didn’t see the step in time; She now has a bandage on
her head.
3. SEMICOLON
A ; (semicolon) is a type of punctuation mark that is used when
someone wants to input a pause, usually between two main clauses, but
doesn’t want to use a conjunction (and, but, or, so). The two main
clauses MUST share a logical connection for a semicolon to be used. You
cannot just combine two sentences with a semicolon that have nothing
to do with each other.
• Remember that a main clause is an independent clause (it will have a noun and a verb
and make sense on its own.)
• Semicolons are important to know how to use. We do not use them a lot, because we
are more comfortable just putting a period at the end of a sentence.
4. SEMICOLON
The easiest way to know if you can use a ; is to see if you have a
run-on sentence (or really close to having one), but you are not
done with your thought yet. So, you can insert a ; (semicolon) to
show a pause between two clauses (remember there has to be a
noun and verb for each clause) but still continue your thought.
Example: I put my phone in the other room; therefore, I got some
studying done.
• You can see that there is a semi-colon combining two clauses.
• Each clause has a noun and a verb (as highlighted).
5. EXTRA NOTES FOR THE SEMICOLON
• You will not capitalize a word directly after a semicolon unless it
is a proper noun.
• Example: We can go to the library; Fridays are pretty quiet
there.
• Example: They went to the library; they both needed a quiet
place to study.
6. SEMICOLON
Another time you can use a ; (semicolon) is when
you need to separate items in a list and the list itself
already contains commas.
Example: The business trip will take him to New
York, New York; Miami, Florida; and Austin, Texas.
• If someone didn’t know the United States very well, reading this list would be very confusing without
semicolons.
7. EXAMPLES OF SEMICOLON
1. I have a big test tomorrow; I can't go out tonight.
2. Star Trek was my favorite television show during the 1960s; in
fact, it is my favorite television show of all time.
3. You should choose ham, chicken, or char-grilled vegetable
sandwiches; cups of tea, Bovril, or coffee (if you don't mind them
lukewarm); or red wine (one of the few options that's drinkable
when lukewarm). Why do we need semicolons in this sentence? What is the purpose?
8. SEMICOLONS AND CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS
1. Bree kept passing notes in class; therefore, he got in trouble with the
teacher.
2. She went to the outlet mall with her sister; however, she couldn’t find the
outfit she was looking for.
3. I don’t like the way that you stabbed me in the back; in fact, I think we
shouldn’t talk to each other any more.
Always use a period or semicolon before the conjunctive adverb when
separating two independent clauses. Conjunctive adverbs are not
strong enough to join independent clauses without supporting
punctuation.

10. PRACTICE
Directions: Decide if the semicolons used below are used to combine two clauses,
used in a list, or used to support a conjunctive adverb. Make sure you can explain
your answer.
1. I ate an entire pizza for lunch; consequently, my stomach now hurts.
2. I want to go visit London, England; Sydney, Australia; and Honolulu, Hawaii.
3. The two year old went to bed early; therefore, he woke up even earlier the next
morning.
4. I like pizza; I had some for dinner.
5. Would you rather go to McAllen, Texas; New Braunfels, Texas; or Dallas, Texas?
