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.

3. Studying Population
Population Geography
– The study of variations in the distribution, composition,
migration, and growth of populations over time.
Demography
– The study of human population dynamics. It looks at how
populations change over time due to births, deaths, migration
and ageing.
Demographics
– A term for population characteristics. Demographics include
birth rate, death rate, immigration, age, income, sex, education,
occupation, religion, nationality, …

Population change over time will inevitably affect….
• Political Systems
• Economics
• Social Structures
• Environments

6. Studying Population
Factors that may lead to population increase include:
– Food
– Health
– Economic Growth
– Migration
7. Studying Population
Growth Rate
– the number of persons added to (or subtracted from) a
population due to natural increase and net migration.
• Birth rate: number of live births per 1,000 population per
year.
• Death rate: number of deaths per 1,000 population per year.
Rate of Natural Increase
– birth rate – death rate = rate of natural increase
8. Studying Population
Factors that contribute to the decline in death rate include:
Better Nutrition
Better Access to Medical Care
Improved Sanitation
Better Immunization
Net Migration = immigrants – emigrants
9. Studying Population
Effects of Population Increase
– Increased poverty
– Resource depletion
– Medicine shortages
– Urban sprawl
10. Studying Population
A specific pattern of population growth has occurred in many
developed nations during the past 60 years.

11. Studying Population
• Factors that may lead to population decline
– Heavy Emigration
– Disease
– Famine
– War
– Sub-replacement Fertility = a fertility rate that is not high enough
to replace an area’s population.
Sub-replacement fertility rate is 2.1 children per woman or
higher.
12. Studying Population
Population Decline in the past
– The Black Death
– Old World Diseases
– Potato Famine
Population Decline today
– Sub-replacement Fertility Levels
– Migration (to be discussed in the next lesson)
13. Studying Population
Why low sub-replacement fertility rate?
Urbanization
Contraception
Government Policies
Exception: United States where natural increase rates have
remained stable…
And within the US, incredible regional variations

17. Global Village
If the world were a village of 1000 people, it would include:
– 584 Asians
– 124 Africans
– 95 Eastern and Western Europeans
– 84 Latin Americans
– 55 former Soviets
– 52 North Americans
– 6 Australians and New Zealanders
18. Global Village
The people of the village would speak:
– 165 Mandarin
– 86 English
– 83 Hindu/Urdi
– 64 Spanish
– 58 Russian
– 37 Arabic
– and the remaining villagers would speak a variety of 200
other languages
19. Global Village
• The religion practiced by the villagers would be:
– 329 Christians (among them 187 Catholics, 84 Protestants, and
31 Orthodox)
– 178 Muslims
– 167 "Non religious"
– 60 Buddhists
– 45 Atheists
– 32 Hindus
– 3 Jews
– and 86 of other religions
20. Global Village
Financially speaking in this 1000 person community
– 200 people receive 75 percent of the income
– Another 200 receive only 2 percent of the income.
– Only 70 people of the 1000 own an automobile (although some
of the 70 own more than one car).
– About one-third have access to clean, safe drinking water.
21. Global Village
• Looking at the social structure of the village, there are:
– 5 soldiers
– 7 teachers
– 1 doctor
– 3 refugees driven from home by war or drought
– and half of the adults are illiterate
22. Global Village
• The village has a total yearly budget, public and private, of over $3
million - $3,000 per person if it is distributed evenly.
• Of the total $3 000 000:
– $181,000 goes to weapons and warfare
– $159,000 to education
– $132,000 to health care
23. Global Village
Nuclear Power in the Village:
The village has buried beneath it enough explosive power in
nuclear weapons to blow itself to smithereens many times over.
These weapons are under the control of just 100 of the people.
The other 900 are watching them with deep anxiety, wondering
whether they can learn to get along together; and if they do,
whether they might set off the weapons anyway through
inattention or technical bungling; and if they ever decide to
dismantle the weapons, where in the world village will they
dispose of the radioactive materials of which the weapons are
made?
