This document analyzes typical codes and conventions in two comedy film clips: Dumb and Dumber and Stepbrothers. In Dumb and Dumber, conventions like focusing on an attractive woman, a main character acting dumb by having a bowl cut and chipped tooth, jokes that make the character look stupid, and bright lighting and colors are shown. Stepbrothers opens with childlike credits and music playing over a character eating chips, showing immature characters. Both films feature middle-aged main characters still living with their parents, treated in patronizing ways by their parents like children, demonstrating their "idiotic" comedy roles through facial expressions. Both comedies use mid shots and bright lighting typical of the genre.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Analyse two clips from a genre of your choice on the typical codes and conventionsof theirsuited
genre.
Dumband Dumber:
The typical codes and conventions of a comedy have been clearly demonstrated in the
opening credits of this film. In a comedy there is always a ‘hot woman/girl’ the film opens
focusing on a hot woman stood at a bus stop, they focus the scene on her by getting the
other actors at the bus stop to face the opposite way so you can only see her face. One of
the main characters played by Jim Carrey approaches the woman, another
thing you’ll see throughout comedy films. His character is dumb, they show
this by making him look dopey he has a bowl cut fringe and a chipped
tooth but we also know this as when trying to guess where the woman is
from he says ‘new jersey?’ when her accent is Austrian and when she tells
him he then pretends to be Australian making himself look like an idiot and gets rejected by
the girl which is a typical convention of comedy.
Comedies are usually set in highly populated areas; this film is set in a
city. This is shown in mid shots and a wide shot of the city. Dumb and
Dumber is a slapstick comedy and shows a typical convention when
he tries to climb over the seat and beeps the horn but also when he
tried to get his head in the window and got it stuck, using physical
humour. When the title comes on the screen there is non-diegetic
sound added in like a swoop, the title flies on to the screen and bumps into the other name
and the physical bumping shows signs of a slapstick comedy
too. (Tried to get a screen grab) Also how some of the letters
are in capitals and some aren’t also gives another insight to
what genre the film belongs to. They use a wide shot to show
the entrance of another character who is wearing a dog
onesie, you can assume that he is another main character as
he then gets into a truck looking like a dog which shows a low
end job meaning he could be ‘Dumb’ or ‘Dumber.’ A typical convention is the lighting is
generally all bright to show the light-heartedness of the film and that its ‘happy’ this film
follows this convention as well as using generally bright colours for example the credits and
title are in bright greens and whites. They use mainly mid
shots to show the expression of the characters and this
screen grab shows the expression and he looks ‘dopey’ and
‘unintelligent’ they would of done this to show that he is one
of the typical idiot characters that you will find in a slapstick
comedy.
2. Mr Bunce half termmediawork. Millie oconnor
Stepbrothers:
The filmopens with darkness with the credits which are in
playful, chilid-likewhite font they could have chosen to use this
typography as it reflects the characters that we are about to
meet in the film. The sound we can hear over this is of someone
opening a packet of crips and emptying them onto a plate and
then it cuts from the credits to a wide close up of a man putting
cheese on his crips, typically in a comedy they will use a lot of mid shots to show mainly
emotion but in this instent its used to show the childlike loves of a character. The
background music starts to play when the character presses the microwave button. The
song is upbeat and child like again showing that the characters in this film maybe acting a lot
younger than their age which can be seen as ‘idiotic’ typically in comedies there are idiotic
characters which the storyline follows. The song that’s been editted
over adds humour to the filmwithout having any spoken dialogue
yet.
They use another mid shot to show the chrips in the microwave
but it also shows you the age of the character which adds a level of
humour as he is steryotypically too old to be eating that kind of
food. Typically in a comedy filmthere are characters that are seen as the intelligent ones in
this film it is the two main characters parents, they both are suited
up showing their bussiness men and go to work they are also
usually socially awkward however its too early on in the filmto
make that judgment, whereas the two characters do not go to work
and still live with their parents which is the main comedic element
of this film as typically you would of left home by you are aged 40.
When Breenen’s mother is talking to him she uses a patronising
tone as if she was speaking to a pre-teen this could be to show that he is one of the typical
idiot characters that you will find in a slaptstick comedy however
when Dale’s dad is speaking to him he uses less of a patronising
voice but when Dale responds he responds in a child like moaning
way showing that he too is a slapstick typical idiot character, we can
see this as they use another typical shot (mid shot) to show the
emotion on his face. The lighting is typical to a comedy as comedies
tend to use bright lighting and bright colours which this film does. The camera work is
natural but not hand held, this is another typical convention as they want it to seem
realistic. The only non-diagetic sound in this clip is the song added over but typically in
comedies there are more to add extra humour. Step Brothers is a slapstick comedy so as the
film progresses you would expect to see certain things like physical injuries caused or given
to the main characters in a funny way .
