Vocabulary is one of the important aspects that need to be taken into account by English teachers. Even if you knew all about grammatical rules of English you would never be able to use them without a knowledge of words. Vocabulary is the basic tool for shaping and transmitting meaning (Olmos, 2009).

Language Aptitude Test
Is designed to measure capacity or general ability to learn a foreign language and ultimate success in that undertaking. Language aptitude tests are ostensibly designed to apply to the classroom learning of any language. Two standardized aptitude tests have been used in the USA: the Modern Language Aptitude Test (MLAT) (Carroll and Sapon, 1958) and the Pimsleur Language Aptitude Battery (PLAB) (Pimsleur, 1966). Both are English language tests and require students to perform a number of Language-related tasks.
Anyone wanting to enhance their speaking skills, this slide presentation is meant for you.
In this presentation meaning of speaking has also been given as well as the strategies on how it could be developed.

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. OBSERVING THE PERFORMANCE OF
THE FOUR SKILLS
All language users perform the acts of
listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
3. Listening is often implied as a component of
speaking.
How could you speak a language without
listening?
4. To determine if someone is a proficient
user of a language , people customarily
ask, “ Do you speak Spanish?” People
rarely say, “Do you understand and speak
Spanish?”
5. Every teacher of language knows that one’s
oral production ability-monologue, speeches,
reading aloud, and the like- is only as good as
listening comprehension ability.
We therefore need to pay close attention to
listening as a mode of performance for
assessment in the classroom.
6. As with all effective tests, designing appropriate
assessment tasks in listening begin with the
specification of objectives or criteria. Those
objectives may be classified in terms of several
types of listening performance.
7. 1. You recognize speech sounds and hold a
temporary “imprint” of them in short term
memory.
2. You simultaneously determine the type of
speech event that is being processed and
attend to its context and the content of the
message.
8. 3. You use linguistic decoding skills and/or
background schemata to bring a plausible
interpretation to the message, and assign a
literal and intended meaning to the utterance.
9. • Each of these stages represents a potential
assessment objective:
Comprehending of surface structure elements
such as phonemes, formation or a
grammatical category
Understanding of pragmatic context
Determining meaning of auditory input
Developing the gist ,a global or
comprehensive understanding
10. From these stages we can derive 4 commonly
identified types of listening performance, each
of which comprises a category within which to
consider assess tasks and procedures.
1. Intensive
2. Responsive
3. Selective
4. Extensive
16. • Sentence Paraphrase
• Test-takers hear: Hello, My name is Keiko.I come
from Japan.
• Test-takers read: a.) Keiko is comfortable in
Japan.
b.)Keiko wants to come to Japan.
c.)Keiko is Japanese.
d.)Keiko likes Japan.
17. Test-takers hear:
Man: Hi, Maria, My name is George.
Woman: Nice to meet you, George. Are you
American?
Man: No, I’m Canadian.
Test-takers read: a.) George lives in the United
States.
b.)George is American.
c.)George comes from Canada.
d.)Maria is Canadian.
18. Appropriate response to a question
• Test-takers hear: How much time did you
take to do your homework?
• Test-takers read: a.) In about an hour.
b.) About an hour.
c.)About $ 10
d.)Yes, I did.
19. Listening Cloze
-(sometimes called cloze dictations or partial
dictations) tasks require the test-taker to listen
to a story, monologue, or conversation and
simultaneously read the written text in which
selected words or phrases have been deleted.
20. Test-taker hear:
Ladies and Gentlemen, I now have some
connecting gate information for those of you
making connections to other flights out of San
Francisco.
21. • Flight seven-oh-six to Portland will depart
from gate seventy-three at nine-thirty P.M.
• Flight ten-forty-five to Reno will depart at
nine-fifty P.M. from gate seventeen.
• And flight sixteen-oh-three to Sacramento will
depart from gate nineteenat ten fifteen P.M.
(Test-takers write the missing words or phrases in the
blanks.)
22. Listening cloze tasks should normally use an
exact word method of scoring in which you
accept as a correct response only the actual
word or phrase that spoken and consider
appropriate as incorrect.
23. Information Transfer-aurally processed
information must be transferred to a visual
representation, such as labeling a diagram,
identifying an element in a picture, completing a
from, or showing routes on a map.
24. Test-takers hear:
Choose the correct picture. In my backyard I
have a bird feeder. Yesterday, there were two
birds and a squirrel fighting for the last few
seeds in the bird feeder. The squirrel was on top
of the bird feeder while the larger bird sat at the
bottom of the feeder screeching at the squirrel.
The smaller bird was flying around the squirrel,
trying to scare it away.
25. Test-takers see: a photograph of a woman in a
laboratory setting, with no glasses on, squinting
through a microscope with her right eye, and
with her left eye closed.
26. Test-takers see:
a.) She’s speaking into a microphone.
b.) She’s putting on her glasses.
c.) She has both eyes open.
d.) She’s using a microscope.
27. The task of simply repeating a sentence or a
partial sentence, or sentence repetition, is also
used as an assessment of listening
comprehension.
28. Dictation
-test takers hear a passage, typically of 50 to 100
words, recited three times: first, at normal
speed; then, with long pauses between phrases
or natural word groups, during which time test-
takers write down what they have just heard;
and finally, at normal speed once more so they
can their work and proofread.
30. 2.Editing
- another authentic task provides both a written
and a spoken stimulus, and requires the test-
taker to listen for discrepancies.
31. Test-takers read: the written stimulus material ( a
news report, an e-mail from a friend, notes from a
lecture, or an editorial in a newspaper).
Test-takers hear: a spoken version of the stimulus
that deviates, in a finite number of
opinions, from the original written form.
facts or
Test-takers mark: the written stimulus by circling
any words, phrases, facts, or opinions that show a
discrepancy between two versions.
32. 3.Interpretative tasks
- one of the intensive listening tasks
-paraphrasing a story or conversation
Potential stimuli include:
• song lyrics,
• [recited] poetry,
• radio/television news reports, and
• an oral account of an experience
33. Test-takers are then directed to interpret the
stimulus by answering a few questions(in an
open-ended form).Questions might be:
“Why was the singer feeling sad?”
“What events might have led up to the
reciting of this poem?”
“What do you think the political activists
might do next, and why?”
“What do you think the storyteller felt about
the mysterious necklace?”
34. 4.Retelling
-test-takers listen to a story or news event and
simply retell it, or summarize it, either orally (on
an audiotape) or in writing, test-takers must
identify the gist, main idea, purpose, supporting
and/or conclusion to show full comprehension.
