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.

4. HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
TUESDAY 11TH MARCH 2014
MARRIOTT WEST LOOP HOTEL, HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA
Gas-To-Liquids Opportunities
Opening Up in North America
Presented by Alex Forbes, Director, Forbes
Communications Limited
1.30pm – 5.00pm
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
North America’s shale gas revolution has created one
of today’s most promising commodity arbitrage
opportunities: monetising cheap-to-produce natural
gas at prices linked to those of costly crude oil. The key
enabler is gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology, a means of
converting methane molecules into premium liquid
hydrocarbons – such as diesel and kerosene – that can
form the basis of “drop-in” fuels in transportation. Unlike
other technologies that open up the gas/oil arbitrage
opportunity – such as LNG – GTL products can be used
in existing fuelling infrastructure and engines, with no
modifications required. Adding to GTL’s appeal is the
possibility of producing specialty products such as
chemical feedstocks and high-value waxes. As the GTL
spotlight shifts from the Middle East to North America,
this workshop will look at the opportunities and the
challenges involved in implementing GTL projects and
marketing their output.

Terms and Conditions of Booking
Card No:
Substitutions/Name Changes: If you are unable to attend you may nominate, in writing, another
delegate to take your place at any time prior to the start of the event. Two or more delegates may
not ‘share’ a place at an event. Please make separate bookings for each delegate.
Cardholder’s Name:
Payment: If payment is not made at the time of booking, then an invoice will be issued and must
be paid immediately and prior to the start of the event. If payment has not been received then
credit card details will be requested and payment taken before entry to the event. Bookings within
7 days of event require payment on booking. Access to the Document Portal will not be given until
payment has been received.
Cancellation: If you wish to cancel your attendance at an event and you are unable to send a
substitute, then we will refund/credit 50% of the due fee less a £50 administration charge, providing
that cancellation is made in writing and received at least 28 days prior to the start of the event.
Regretfully cancellation after this time cannot be accepted. We will however provide the
conferences documentation via the Document Portal to any delegate who has paid but is unable
to attend for any reason. Due to the interactive nature of the Briefings we are not normally able to
provide documentation in these circumstances. We cannot accept cancellations of orders placed
for Documentation or the Document Portal as these are reproduced specifically to order. If we have
to cancel the event for any reason, then we will make a full refund immediately, but disclaim any
further liability.
Alterations: It may become necessary for us to make alterations to the content, speakers, timing,
venue or date of the event compared to the advertised programme.
Data Protection: The SMi Group gathers personal data in accordance with the UK Data Protection
Act 1998 and we may use this to contact you by telephone, fax, post or email to tell you about other
products and services. Unless you tick here □ we may also share your data with third parties offering
complementary products or services. If you have any queries or want to update any of the data
that we hold then please contact our Database Manager databasemanager@smi-online.co.uk or
