1. Introduction
In Rebekah Nathan’s My Freshman Year (2005), as a professor, she involved in university community again as a freshman to know about how different between International and American students. She becomes a freshman to know the students better. She did everything as a “participant observer” and studied the college culture and students as a real student. It’s just like when you want to discover whether one food is delicious or not, you cannot get true feelings if you not try it yourself. She studied like a real freshman and lived in the dormitory.
I am an international student, when I first come to UCSC community. I always feel so different between my China high school and UCSC community. International students have different culture; they are have different life style and use different language to talk. When I came in Cowell College, have a lot of local American students talk to me, but we just have the exterior communication we cannot talk with each other deeply, because I do not talk to much with a new friend. During International orientation, I make a lot of Chinese friend. But they are would like talk to the friends before International orientation they meet. No matter about the person is a Chinese student or local American student. However this is because of different culture. Also I interview ten Chinese students in UCSC, have 8 people, they are in China did want talk with a Chinese new friend. If the friend talk too much and with deeply communicate to they, they will feel so strange. Only have two people feel that is well. As me, I feel with mostly people. But I saw a lot of local American student in dinning hall, they did not know another before but they are talk very much and with deeply. When I first day came to Cowell core class, I found out UCSC students showing different between Chinese students (in China) in classroom. UCSC students would like to talk with professor in class. But Chinese Rarely communicates with the professor. As an international student, I really feel the difference between Chinese students and American students So According to these findings and feelings, my research question are:
1.“How are Chinese students and UCSC students different from one another.”
2. “How are Chinese students and UCSC students different from one another in classroom.”

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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

Non-heritage Speakers are not
at disadvantage.
• Reason 1: Many students speak Cantonese
or Min Nan Dialect, which makes learning
Pinyin challenging.
• Reason 2: Non-heritage speakers are often
motivated to learn writing characters.

@Stuyvesant
Guess how many characters my beginner
students can learn to write in the first class?
• 2, 5, 10, or more?
10. By Zhou Laoshi
@Stuyvesant
Pinyin is even easier to learn,
but powerful to use.
• Most of the pronunciation in Pinyin is similar to
English, like: b, p, m, f, d, t, n, g, k, h.
• Within one month, mostly of my class (first year to
learn Chinese) can read most of the Pinyin clearly.
