A variety of activities are outlined, including matching vocabulary to pictures, answering reading comprehension questions, listening to and ordering a text, creating questions and predictions, and playing games. The plan provides details on teaching approaches, integrating skills, materials, seating, possible issues and their solutions, assessments, and homework. Feedback from the local teacher recommends including activities that ran out of time in the previous lesson.
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.

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.

Aims or goals:
During this lesson students will be able to make a revision of the
vocabulary they have been working with and they’ll learn the
interrogative form of the modal ‘Will’ and they ‘ll make a revision
of its affirmative and negative form
Learners will make use of their listening comprehension skills
when they listen to the teacher, the recording and their peers.
They’ll also put into practice their speaking skills, when they
interact with their peers in order to answer some questions and
when they read the answers of the activities in order to check
them.
Learners will put into practice their background knowledge when
they recognize the vocabulary they have already worked with.
Regarding the multiple intelligences by Spratt et al,2005. They’ll
use the visual (they’ll learn through seeing pictures and posters)
and the auditory (they’ll learn through hearing a recording and
the teacher)
Teaching points: Learning of the interrogative form of the modal
‘Will’ .

4. Teaching approach or combination of methods/ approaches: Communicative approach-
PPP method.
Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how? The skills that will be
integrated during this lesson are reading ( they’ll read the information on the board and
their activities) writing ( they’ll write down answers , sentences a dialogue and a short
prediction) , listening ( they’ll put into practice their listening skills when they listen to a
recording in one of the activities, the teacher and their peers)and the speaking skill
(they’ll produce sentences orally in some of the activities and also, when they interact
with their peers and the teacher.)
Materials and resources: pictures, sticking tape, photocopies, marker, board, mobile
phone, loudspeakers, paper- posters.
Pedagogicaluseof ICTin classor at home: I’ll use my mobile phone and loudspeakers to
reproduce a recording, in the listening comprehension activity.
Seating arrangement: They’ll be sitting in a semi-circle.
Possibleproblems/ difficultiesandtheir possiblesolutionsduring theclass: Studentsmay
get distracted talking about how amazing will be computersin the future (activity 3). In
this case, I’ll tell them (in a kind manner) thattheir imagination is great butwe cannot
lose the lesson’s purpose, they have some pre-established minutes to do the activity.
Potentialproblemsstudentsmayhavewiththelanguage: Maybeitwould be difficult for
them to write the prediction abouthow computerswill be /won’tin the futureand also
read it in frontof the class. I’llhelp them to overcome their challenges guiding them
when they have to write the prediction and when they have to express themselves orally
if it is necessary. I will also tell them phrases like ‘you can do it’, ‘come on’.
Assessment: I’ll teach students using pictures and a poster. I’ll check if students
understand or not by observing them and asking them Is it clear? (I’llputmy fingerup) or
not? (I’ll put my finger down) Do you understand?

Teacher: Now, you’ll read the text again and then we’re going to play a game. Is it clear?
Students: Yes
Teacher: Great!
(students will read the text in silence)
Teacher: Ok, now that you have read the text, I’m going to explain to you the game.
You’ll be divided into two groups (Group A and Group B)
Each group will have some sentences. Each group will read these sentences and the
other group will say if the sentences are true or false, if they’re false you have to say why
they’re false.
For example:
Sharon, who is one of the membersof Group A, will read ‘In the future computerswon’t
be smaller’. Is it true or false?
Group B will discuss which is the correctanswer with the membersof the group, and
they’ll answer ‘False’.Becausethey will be smaller.
Teacher: Dou you understand?
Students: yes
Teacher: Ok, we can start!
Sentences:
a) Computers will be stronger.
b) They won’t have much memory to store information.
c) They won’t be faster.

Students: Yes
Teacher: Great! So, we’re going to start.
Fillglass nanotechnology will make screens antibacterial and
you’ll never see your fingerprints again on the screen!
Nanotechnology promises a rapid improvement of technology
at low cost.
As Ralph Merkle said ‘We’ll have more power in the volume of
a sugar cube than exist in the entire world today’.
Nanotechnology is a combination of two words i.e: Nano
means smallest and technology, so Nanotechnology is the
technology of very small things. It will open the door to many
new powerful technological devices in the future. Computers
will be faster, materials will be stronger and there will be
many improvements in the medicine area.
Apart from that, thanks to graphene material there will be
flexible electronics. Can you imagine that? Future technology
will be great!
*(When students finish , we’re going to check the correct order all together)
(*Studentsalreadyknowthe vocabularythatappearsin the text, that’swhy I didn’tinclude
any specific activity to work with definitions)

Activity 3: 30’
Teacher: Now, you’ll workin pairs. Make a prediction about how computers will be in the
future.
Draw your prototype and use the following words and the verb ‘Will/ won’t’ to describe
it: design, download, process, print, store, create, write, search, hardware, digital, ports,
software, Central processing unit (CPU), keyboard, mouse.
You have to include unless 5 affirmative and 5 negative sentences.
This an example of how you can start your prediction:
11. In the future computers won’t need the mouse. (*I’ll write it on the board)
When everybody finishes you’ll expose your works on the board and you’ll read your
predictions about future computers.
Teacher: So, first you’ll work on a draft and then you’ll write it and draw it on this paper.
Do you understand?
Students. Yes
Teacher: Ok, so you can start working

12. threequestions abouthowour dailyliveswillbein thefuture and the other group will
answer them orally.
You can include in your questionsthe words we worked with in the activity above or other
technological devices that you think will be in the future.
Example:
Group A: Will we have robots in our houses in the future?
Group B: no, we won’t.
Homework: 20’
Teacher: First we’re going to check the dialogues you had as homework last class.
(I’ll check that they have written them correctly, and they’ll read them in front of the
class)
Homework for next class:
Teacher: This is the homework for next class:
Write three sentences about how smartphones will be in the future.
Write three sentences about how computers won’t be in the future.
Write two questions that you would like to ask to a web-designer about how internet will
be in the future.
Example:
In the future smartphones will have fillglass nanotechnology. (Affirmative sentence)
I included two of the activities that I had included in the last lesson plan (Because I didn’t
have enough time to work with them during the lesson) . The local teacher told me that
during this class I must introduce the Interrogative form of the modal ‘Will’ and make a
revision of the affirmative and negative form. She suggested me to include the activities
which I couldn’t work with during the last class, because they were good !
