This syllabus is not set in stone and is subject to change at any time.
Course Description: This is a discussion-based course that will interrogate: the future, technology, sports, popular culture, and media. You will be using your selves as maps through our shared culture. We will explore how speculation can be a form of creative inquiry. We will watch films, listen to music, read books (it is university, you kind of have to read), and have conversations to make the argument that one of the best ways to know the world is to imagine it.
What do you get?: In exchange for your full participation, you will develop the skills to think critically about what you receive through all of your senses and sense-making apparatus. Thinking critically means that you can call “B.S.” when you see or hear it. You will learn how to formulate and defend written and spoken arguments; along with being able to see past the surface explanation of things. This means that when you call “B.S.”, you’ll be able to explain “why” you think this, as well as offer up information to bolster your point.
Learning Objectives:
(a) Students' papers consider questions of how values intersect with/influence/diverge from culture as they are addressed in a range of literary and visual texts produced across the globe.
(b) Students' papers require close reading of written texts and close examination of images, and articulation of the student's own understanding of them, while acknowledging the possibility of multiple interpretations.
(c) Papers require in-depth analysis of works and ideas, and attention to appropriate methods of inquiry in the humanities.
(d) Papers and course discussions require comparisons between works representing various global communities past and present, which ensures that students will gain understanding of other value systems and ways of life.
(e) Papers require close engagement with the works under study, stimulating students' appreciation of literature and the arts and laying an indispensable foundation for their active cultivation.
Course Requirements: Class participation is a must. If you want a good grade, you have to participate. We only meet 150 minutes per week, but if you work hard, I’ll work even harder.
Attendance: Come to class. It isn’t algebra. Show up, you learn and earn a grade. If you don’t show up, you miss out and your grade is negatively impacted. You get three (3) absences. After that, you lose two (5) points for each subsequent absence.
3x5 index cards: A 3x5 index card with your name, date, and a question about the current material is due at the start of each class period. These cards will be used as prompts to help engineer our class discussion. They are also a secondary attendance check.

I (Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU) have been working with these researchers and this publisher for several, maybe many after all, years rather freely as for the topics and the methods. They understand that there cannot be any discussion if the people who are discussing any issue or topic are not different.
Blindness is absurd when it is in the mind. Color blindness is racism under another name. Religion-blindness, like in France, leads to repression of some religious practices that do not want to be invisible, unseen, blind-struck. Poverty-blindness is a loincloth for the obscene rejection of homeless people, ungraduated individuals, marginal, different, at times autistic human beings.
That’s the first element I find interesting in this research project. It tries to listen to everyone and discuss all points of view from creationism to the vastest conception of the phylogenic evolution of rocks as well as boys, girls, men, and women, without forgetting poetry, films, music, arts, and science, all sciences.
I always remember André Joly’s angry remark against Descartes, one of the French scientists and philosophers best known in the world for open-mindedness, innovation, and logical research methodology, at least as creative as if not more than Socrates and Plato teaching mathematics to a slave boy of 12. Why André Joly’s anger? He had read Descartes’ introductory remarks to some scientific and philosophical book of his where he explained that proving the world is governed by simple scientific rules and laws that are said to be natural, is the best way to prove the existence of God. André Joly considered God should be banned from any intellectual or scientific activity. In one word, he was French. That was in the late 1980s.
Molière will always be the best, even in classic alexandrines (sorry no translation available of the following lines):
“Cachez-moi donc ce dieu d’enfer, de perdition,
Dieu de soufre et d’encens. Ne jamais concevoir
Cette logique horreur qui tue pure raison
Vous enferme l’esprit dans le sang d’un ciboire”
(Molièr’, Scapin, Tartuff’, Acte VI, Scene 3
Mais que diable allait-il faire en cette galère)

Let's play!
Seriously, let us play!
Life isn't a game but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be playful. After all, there's a lot more to playfulness than fun and games. Creativity, freedom, friendship… What are we without a sense of play?
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
