This document provides guidance on teaching spelling to students. It recommends not teaching spelling yourself, but rather having students make their own connections. It also suggests teaching spelling patterns in order of complexity and finding patterns in words each week. Visualization strategies like tracing letters in the air can help students learn spelling, as can understanding word parts and meanings. Mastering a core vocabulary, spelling skills, and experience with words are essential components of spelling. Phonological awareness, orthography, and vocabulary are also important concepts for students. Special needs students may need a stronger focus on rules and skill-building, and visual strategies can help them recognize words.
Summary on LANGUAGE TESTING & ASSESSMENT (Part I) Alderson & Banerjee MissJillSmith
Summary on article by Ch. Alderson & J.Banerjee regarding Language Testing & Assessment. Diferent types of language testing, authors, hypothesis, conclusions and expectations. Ethics, politics and standards impact on language testing.
MOTHER TONGUE INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING SRJIS
Language is a method of communicating ideas, emotions and desires by means of a system of arbitrarily produced symbols for physiological as well as psychological survival. In a multilingual Indian Society, where English acts as a second language, our aim of teaching English is not to develop British or American accent but to help the learners to overcome regional accents, wrong pronunciation and gradually train them in proper articulation. The aim of this article is to discuss the mother tongue influence in the process of English Language learning and how a teacher can help to overcome some of the problem encountered by an Indian learner of English as well as to improve his/her communicative competence.

2 Basic Concepts and TerminologyI have to admit, sometimes I ge.docxfelicidaddinwoodie
2 Basic Concepts and Terminology
“I have to admit, sometimes I get mixed up about all the jargon and terms surrounding reading and I know my fellow teachers do also,” says Julia, a reading specialist in an elementary school. “Occasionally I will get into a conversation with some other teachers and the discussion will turn to some reading skill or element such as digraphs. Although digraphs is the topic, diphthongs and blends are provided as examples of digraphs. Boy! It’s confusing. I don’t think students need to know all this special vocabulary, but I think I should. How else can we talk about these things unless we agree on what they are and what they mean?”
Our colleague Julia is absolutely correct. Any discussion of issues related to phonics, word recognition, reading fluency, and reading instruction needs to begin with an understanding of the basic concepts and terminology that frame these skills and issues. Without this understanding, productive interchanges of ideas about issues related to phonics, word recognition, and reading fluency are difficult and often confusing. With this in mind, in this chapter we identify and define some essential concepts related to phonics, word recognition, and reading fluency using language understandable to teachers, parents, and other school audiences. A more comprehensive and technical presentation of definitions can be found in The Literacy Dictionary (Harris and Hodges 1995).
· Affix A meaningful combination of letters that can be added to a base word in order to alter the meaning or grammatical function. Prefixes and suffixes are types of affixes.
· Prefix An affix that is added in front of a base word to change the meaning (e.g., predetermine, disallow).
· Suffix An affix that is added to the end of a base word that changes the meaning of the base word (e.g., instrumental, actor, containment).
· Alphabetic Principle The notion that in certain languages, such as English, each speech sound or phoneme can be represented by a written symbol or set of written symbols.
· Automaticity In reading, automaticity refers to the ability to recognize words in print quickly and effortlessly. It is a component of fluent reading and is marked by word recognition that is accurate and at an appropriate rate.
· Balanced Literacy Instruction Literacy instruction that is marked by an equal emphasis on the nurturing of reading through authentic reading experiences with authentic reading materials and more direct instruction in strategies and skills needed for successful reading. It is a
decision‐making approach through which the teacher makes thoughtful choices each day about the best way to help each child become a better reader and writer. A balanced approach is not constrained by or reactive to a particular philosophy. It is responsive to new issues while maintaining what research and practice has already shown to be effective. (Spiegel, 1998, p. 116)
· Consonants Refers to both letters and sounds. Consonant sound ...
This is totally about how we teach pronunciation. If you have any problem please discuss with me in comment session. if you likes.my work is beneficial for you please give me likes.

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

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. The first rule…and
most important, do
not teach it yourself!
Students should
make their own
connections and
patterns. This is how
they will ensure they
know how to spell
the world and
create their own
learning method.
Teach spelling
patterns in a
sequence that
reflects
orthographic
complexity.
Teaching Spelling
Skills-Rule Based
Instruction
To develop knowledge of
patterns and rules for
combining letters to spell
words correctly.
3. Rule Based
Instruction
The silent –gh, k-, -b
Find a pattern, use
spelling words for
each week that
address this
pattern. Most
words should be
represented in with
this pattern.
FAT VS. FATE
Use comparison
words that look
similar to another
familiar word. This is
how you can show
students why the
word looks different
and how they are
different.
4. Phonics Spelling Strategies
Teach how letters and
their combinations
represent sounds.
Making sure the
alphabet is prominently
displayed, encourage
letter hunts! (Everything
with the letter “M”)
Ask the students to
create and keep a list
of allowable spellings
for each sound.
5. Helps a student visualize
the words by writing the
word on a piece of paper.
Telling the child to make a
picture of the word on a
screen in their head.
Show them the word,
asking the student to look
at the word and tell you
what they see.
Encourage them to make
certain parts stand out
(Bigger, Brighter)
Picture in their favorite
colors.
Break the word into smaller
letter groupings.
Trace the letters in the air
To test, ask the student
positions of letters, or how
to spell the word
backward.
If they can do this, they are
ready to write the word.
They have effectively used
visual spelling strategies.
Visual
Spelling
Strategies
6. Morphemic Spelling Strategies
Protect
-ed, -ing, -tion
Use word parts and
meaning to learn
Discuss the meaning of
words and patterns
Teach correct prefixes
and suffixes with new
meanings
Discover new rules for
modifying words when
adding affixes.
Teach base words that
do not need a
modification first.
8. Phonological
Awareness
What is this?
Skills that develop
gradually and sequentially
Awareness of sounds in
language
Awareness of mymes
Understanding that a
sentence can be broken
down
Ability to talk about, reflect
and manipulate sounds
Understanding the
relationship between
writing and the spoken
language.
Improving my skills!
Detecting rhyme and
alliteration (use of similar
consonants)
Identifying rhymes and words
that start/end with the same
sound
Segmenting words into smaller
units, such as syllables and
sounds, by counting them
Blending separated sounds into
words
Understanding that words are
made up of sounds represented
by symbols or letters
Manipulating sounds in words by
adding, deleting, or substituting
9. The conventional
spelling and use
of a language
The study of
spelling and
correct word
usage in a
language
Closer to a
whole grammar
in language than
spelling. Knowledge of
Orthography
10. Vocabulary
What are all these words?
Helps with expressive
language
Helps with
understanding text
Helps build spelling,
knowledge, and
comprehension
Creates a more
complex speaking and
writing opportunity
Allows for more creative
writing and speaking
An important part of
reading!
11. Helping Kids with an LD
Special needs students will need to focus more on
rules based as well as skill building. Their skills
learned from word hunting in a sentence will be of
help in building their vocabulary.
Many children will mistake spellings (bare, bear)
use visual spelling to help *if you are bare the “e” is
hanging out on the end for all to see; if it is a bear,
the e is in the middle, already eaten up*
Students may struggle with this, word banks may
help them. Recognizing the words visually may be
the more important skill, rather than recall.
