Understanding of the Importance of Mother Tongue Learningijtsrd
Mother tongue is valuable due to several reasons. Mother tongue is vital in framing the thinking and emotions of people. Learning to speak in the mother tongue is very necessary for a child’s comprehensive development. Being fluent in the mother tongue, which is also known as the native language, benefits the child in numerous ways. It associates him to his culture, ensures enhanced cognitive development, and supports in the learning of other languages. A child first comprehends what is around them through the language they hear their mother communicating in from before they are born and thought their lives. Many children across the developing world are learning very little in school, a reality that can be linked to teaching that is in a language they do not fully understand. It is a practice that leads to limited or non existent learning and acquisition of knowledge and skills, alienating experiences, and high drop out and repetition rates. To improve the quality of education, language policies need to take account of mother tongue learning. Models of education which ignore the mother tongue in the early years can be unproductive, ineffective and have a negative effect on children’s learning. Mother tongue education at least in early years can enable teachers to teach, and learners to learn more effectively.

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

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 13, 2016
2. Introduction
This presentation will help explain bilingualism and home language
use. There has been an influx of students at our school that speaks not
only English, but other languages as well. These students are considered
as being bilingual because they are able to speak two languages. The
presentation will focus on:
• Sociocultural aspects of bilingual students
• Cultural impacts of bilingualism and home language use
• Strategies and resources for cultivating home and school
partnerships
• Evaluating the effectiveness of home and school partnerships
• The role of leadership in cultivating a positive home and school
partnership of ELL students
3. Sociocultural Aspects for Bilingual Students in
the Classroom
Sociocultural means that social and cultural factors are
combined.
• Teaching styles used
• Dialect
• Students’ family values
• Economic status
• Native language
• Religious beliefs
• Culture
• Classroom support
• Societal perceptions
• Cognitive, economic, and
literary advantage
4. Cultural Impact of Bilingualism and Home
Language Use
Combining bilingualism education with home language use is beneficial to
the overall academic success of English language learners. Educational
programs that systematically incorporates the use of English language
learner’s home language results in levels of achievement in literacy and
other academic subjects (Genesee, et al., 2010).
Cultural impacts include:
• Encourages students to see connections between their languages and
better understand how languages are structured and organized.
• Can be used as phonological and metalinguistic awareness exercises to
facilitate reading acquisition.
• Students are able to speak their native at home and English at school.
5. Strategies and Resources for Cultivating
Home and School Partnerships
Having a partnership between teachers at school and parents at home can
be very beneficial for English language learners. Having parents involved
in their child’s education can really impact how much and how well
they can learn and succeed.
Strategies and Resources
• Teachers should maintain open communication with parents
- Daily Folders
- Weekly newsletters
• Bilingual parent workshops
• Invite parents to visit the classroom
• Access to libraries and other needed resources
• National Coalition for Parental Involvement in Education:
http://www.ncpie.org
6. Strategies for Evaluating the Effectiveness of
the Home and School Partnerships
• Perform ongoing evaluations
• Send parent surveys home
-Rate teachers performance and
communication skills
-Provide information on where
more support may be needed
• Hold parent/teacher conferences
• Track students performance and
all interactions from parents

7. The Role of Leadership in Cultivating a Positive
Home and School Partnership of ELL Students
• Learn about the ELL population
• Integrate cultural traditions of ELL families
in classroom throughout the school
community
• Create a welcoming environment for
families
• Make a personal connection with families
• Encourage native language use at home
• Encourage staff members by providing
examples and resources on cultivating
partnerships
• Offer guidance and tools
Teachers must take on
many leadership roles in
order to support the success
of English language
learners One important role
that ESL teachers play in
their school is leading
professional development
for their colleagues,
including classroom
teachers, administrators,
and content-area teachers
(Gonzalez, et al., 2006).
