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.

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

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.

2. •Determiners are words that introduce a noun and
provide some information about it (but do NOT describe
it).
•Examples: the ball, his son, five cats, more cars.
DETERMINERS
3. HOW DO WE IDENTIFY A DETERMINER?
If a word can appear here , it is a
determiner:
1. any common noun
Examples:
The thing, his things, five things, some things,
many things, a thing, several things, few things,
each thing, those things, their things, etc.
Note: some determiners, like “much”, may only
introduce noncount nouns.
4. THERE ARE FOUR TYPES OF
DETERMINERS:
Articles
Possessives
Demonstratives
Quantifiers
6. “the” is called the Definite Article:
It normally introduces a noun that is familiar
to the listener. Example: The earth is round.
“the” may introduce either a singular or a
plural noun.
“a” or “an” are called the Indefinite Article:
“a” or “an” normally introduce a noun that is
not yet familiar to the listener. Example:
I saw a new movie.
“a” or “an” may only introduce a singular noun.
7. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “A” AND “AN”?
“a” precedes words that start with a
consonant sound.
Examples: a table, a chair,
and also… a eulogy
“an” precedes words that start with a
vowel sound.
Examples: an apple, an umbrella,
and also… an hour
8. DEMONSTRATIVES
Demonstratives are words that are used
to point at someone or something
(whether it’s concrete or abstract).
Examples: that book; this time; these
ideas; those chairs
There are only four demonstratives in
English:
10. In order to be called a DETERMINER, a demonstrative
MUST be followed by a noun-phrase:
1. I like this room.
“this” is a determiner in sentence (1).
2. I like this.
“this” is NOT a determiner in sentence (2).
How do we know?
Because determiners need to precede noun-
phrases! In sentence (2) no noun-phrase follows
the word “this”
11. IS THE UNDERLINED WORDA
DETERMINER?
•
•
•
•
John likes that movie.
That is the best.
That guy is nice.
John thinks that apples are tasty.
“that” in (4) is NOT a determiner, because
it is not used to point at apples!
12. POSSESSIVES
Possessives are words that usually
indicate possession or belonging of a
noun.
Examples: his birthday, Sam’s book,
her idea, New York’s subway
There are two kinds of possessives:
1. possessive determiner pronouns
2. possessive determiner proper nouns
13. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
There are only seven possessive
determiner pronouns:
my; your; his ; her ; its ; our ; their
Note:
-The difference between its and it’s.
-The difference between “their”,
“there” and “they’re”.
14. In order to be called a DETERMINER, a possessive
pronoun MUST be followed by a noun-phrase:
1. His essay was the best.
“His” is a determiner in sentence (1).
2. His was the best essay.
“His” is NOT a determiner in sentence (2).
How do we know?
Because determiners need to precede noun-
phrases! In sentence (2) no noun-phrase follows
the word “his”.
15. ANOTHER WAY TO TEST IF A POSSESSIVE
PRONOUN IS A DETERMINER OR NOT:
Replace “his” with “her”, and see if the
sentence is grammatical:
1. His essay was the best.
Her essay was the best.
2. His was the best exam.
*Her was the best exam.
Since in (2) the Test Sentence gets a *,
“his” in (2) is NOT a determiner.
16. POSSESSIVE PROPER NOUNS
A proper noun with apostrophe ‘s is a
“possessive proper noun”
Examples:
Mary’s car, CUNY’s students, Mr.
Smith’s wife
(Note: These are Determiners, and
NOT proper nouns).
17. QUANTIFIERS
•QUANTIFIERS ARE WORDS THAT INDICATE THE
•QUANTITY OR AMOUNT OF A NOUN.
•EXAMPLES: THREE PENCILS; ALL COUNTRIES; SOME
BOOKS; LITTLE TIME; EACH STORY.
•COMMON QUANTIFIERS:
•ALL, ANY, BOTH, EACH, EITHER, ENOUGH, EVERY, FEW,
LITTLE, MOST, MUCH, NEITHER, NO, SEVERAL, SOME, ANY
NUMBER (E.G. FIVE, TWELVE, ETC.)
