Sarojini Naidu's poem "Bangle Sellers" describes a group of bangle sellers going to a temple fair to sell their wares. The bangle sellers call out descriptions of the bangles they have to suit women in different stages of life. They have delicate silver and blue bangles for young maidens, flower-colored bangles for brides, and purple and gold bangles for mature women who have raised families. The poem uses the bangles to represent the different roles and phases of an Indian woman's life.

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.

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.
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

4. Bangle Sellers
- Sarojini Naidu
Bangle Sellers are we who bear
Our shining loads to the temple fair…
Who will buy these delicate, bright
Rainbow-tinted circles of light?
Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,
For happy daughters and happy wives.
Some are meet for a maiden’s wrist,
Silver and blue as the mountain mist,
Some are flushed like the buds that dream
On the tranquil brow of a woodland stream,
Some are aglow with the bloom that cleaves
To the limpid glory of new born leaves
5. Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
Meet for a bride on her bridal morn,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,
Or, rich with the hue of her heart’s desire,
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.
Some are purple and gold flecked grey
For she who has journeyed through life midway,
Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest,
And cradled fair sons on her faithful breast,
And serves her household in fruitful pride,
And worships the gods at her husband’s side.
6. Explanation:-
Stanza 1
Bangle sellers are we who bear
Our shining loads to the temple fair…
Who will buy these delicate, bright
Rainbow-tinted circles of light?
Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,
For happy daughters and happy wives.
At the beginning of the poem, the bangle sellers are introduced and the poem describes their
everyday life as well. The bangle sellers are present at the temple fair to make a trade for their
bangles and are calling out to people to buy them. They are praising the qualities of bangles
using the adjectives like bright, delicate and rainbow-tinted thereby intending the people to
buy for their daughters and wives. Bangles are bought on special occasions and are considered
a symbol of happy lives of Indian womanhood. The bangle sellers say that these bangles
promise happy lives to the wearer and are tokens (sign) of happy lives and happy marriages.
7. Stanza 2
Some are meet for a maiden’s wrist,
Silver and blue as the mountain mist,
Some are flushed like the buds that dream
On the tranquil brow of a woodland stream,
Some are aglow with the bloom that cleaves
To the limpid glory of new born leaves
In the second stanza, the bangle-sellers are talking about the different kinds of bangles that they have which
cater to different types of women. Some of these bangles are suited for a maiden’s wrist who is an unmarried
girl or a young woman and they are silver and blue in colour. Here silver and blue colours are compared to the
mountain mist and they represent the freshness and the beauty of young maidens.
Some bangles are light red and pink in colour just like tender flower buds that are found blossoming along a
woodland stream. In this stanza, ‘buds that dreams’ presents an image of young girls who are dreaming of
marriage. The bangle sellers also have some green coloured bangles which are compared to the ‘new born
leaves’ because such leaves are pure, fresh and yet to see the world just like the maiden.
This stanza shows the youthful stage in a woman’s life and represents the fact different coloured bangles are
worn by women in different phases of their life in Indian society.
8. Explanation:-
Stanza 3
Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
Meet for a bride on her bridal morn,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,
Or, rich with the hue of her heart’s desire,
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.
In this stanza, the bangles sellers say that they have some yellow-coloured bangles that look like fields of
sunlit corn. Here bangles are compared to ‘fields of sunlit corn’ because those bangles are suitable for a
bride on the day of her wedding when she needs to look the prettiest and the brightest of all. The bangle
sellers also have some flame-coloured bangles such as red and orange that represent the passion, desire
and wishes of the bride. In the poem, bridal laughter means the joy of starting a new life with her
husband while bridal tear means sorrow of separation from her parents. The poet has compared bridal
laughter and bridal tear with the tinkling, luminous, tender and clear bangles which seem to express her
joy and sorrow well. So, this stanza depicts the transition of life from a maiden to a wife.
9. Explanation:-
Stanza 4
Some are purple and gold flecked grey
For she who has journeyed through life midway,
Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest,
And cradled fair sons on her faithful breast,
And serves her household in fruitful pride,
And worships the gods at her husband’s side.
In this stanza, the bangle sellers continue to advertise their bangles and say that they have
some purple and gold-flecked grey bangles. These bangles are suitable for a woman who has
journeyed through life and has reached the mid-point of her life. These are for a woman who
remained faithful to her husband, supported him and has raised her children well. The purple
colour symbolizes pride, gold-fleck represents honour and authority whereas grey symbolizes
wisdom and maturity.
