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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

5. Brendan-TheProtagonistBrendan is the only one who doesn’t
smoke or drink, which is unusual for
the lead in a film noir. This could
suggest innocence. The film charts his
downwards spiral as he looks for and
discovers Emily who has died, this is
shown through his costume (he wears
white symbolising purity at the start
and his clothing gets darker
throughout the film, his hair and
clothes get messier and he is badly
injured and covered with blood by the
end).He seems to have a clear moral
compass throughout the film, despite
the events he faces. As he is a high
school student, he is unusually young
for a film noir protagonist.
6. Laura-TheFemmeFatale
When we are initially introduced to Laura, she
wears red which connotes blood and danger. She
dresses in a vintage style reminiscent of the
original femme fatales in the 1940s and 1950s.
Laura is very cunning and we are led to believe
that Kara, who acts in the seductive and mysterious
manner and wears the classic red lipstick, is the
femme fatale. Laura appears to be helping (and
flirting with) Brendan throughout the film as she
was a close friend of Emily’s, however it is
revealed she actually used Emily to cover her own
illegal tracks and was the reason Emily was killed
and therefore for Brendan’s downfall. She is
selfish and motivated by power and money. She is
undiscovered and when the film finishes, remains
unpunished.
10. While most films try to make the camera angles flow
smoothly and place the camera as discreetly as
possible, Brick conforms to the convention of film
noir that the camera often jumps around and uses
abstract shots. These include canted angles and
high/ low angle shots, particularly in
confrontational scenes or fights with Brendan, Tug
and the Pin to show the power balance. The framing
is also unusual, somes the characters are put to
one side of the screen instead of the centre to
show isolation. Closeups are also often used,
sometimes to show character’s emotions (mainly
Brendan’s) and sometimes on significant objects
(Emily’s diary, Laura’s cigarette). Sometimes these
are point of view shots and the audience has to
work out the significance of the object; there is
little dialogue and a lot of facts are inferred so
the camera must do the work.
11. The film is edited in a non-linear
order and told as a flashback up
until Emily’s death. Unusually there
is no voiceover. Editing is also
significant in fight scenes as the
cuts are sped up to emphasise
action, while they are much slower
in the rest of the film as Brendan
is still working out the facts.
15. Propp’sCHaracterTheory
● The hero is Brendan, who seeks Emily
○ Also the dispatcher- seeks her of his own accord
● The villain is the Pin, who opposes Brendan
○ Tug and Laura are also considered villains
because they oppose Emily, therefore causing
Brendan’s distress. Laura also doesn’t want
Brendan to discover the truth
● The princess is Emily, Brendan’s “reward”
● The donor is Kara, who provides Brendan
with information
● The helper is the Brain, who give Brendan
the information he needs to track Emily
● The false hero is Laura, who poses as
Emily’s friend but actually got her killed
by making her falsely confess
16. Strauss,BinaryOppositions
● Men versus women
○ Brendan feels like Emily, Kara and Laura are against him at some
point in the film
● Good versus evil
○ Brendan, the Brain (and Emily?) versus the Pin, Tug and Laura
● Life and death
○ Emily and the Pin both die as a result of their actions
● Light and dark
○ Contrast between day and night, the open school setting and Pin’s
den, the tunnel where Emily dies, the road
● Innocence and corruption
○ Brendan and the Brain are innocent and initially oblivious to the Pin
and Tug’s drug ring. Emily symbolises the innocent becoming corrupt
17. Todorov’sNarrativeTheory
1- Equilibrium, Brendan is a
regular high school student
who has recently broken up
with his girlfriend
2- Disruption, Emily goes
missing
3- Disequilibrium, he
discovers her dead body
4- Resolution, He finds the
drug ring responsible for her
death, there is a showdown
5- New equilibrium, life can
go on as the Pin is killed and
no drugs remain
However due to the editing,
the film tells the story in
the following order; 3, 1,
2, 4, 5.
