This document provides a lesson on matching paragraph headings to paragraphs of text. It discusses the problems that can arise from crossing off heading options as paragraphs are completed, such as incorrectly choosing a heading for an early paragraph that should have been used for a later paragraph. The lesson recommends writing paragraph numbers after each heading option instead of crossing them off. This allows reconsideration of all options for each paragraph. The document then provides a sample reading passage and headings to match as a practice exercise.

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

1. Lesson 4: Matching Paragraph Headings 2
Learn English With Les IELTS Preparation
Lesson
2. Objective: to practice matching paragraph headings to paragraphs
This lesson provides you with further practice on IELTS paragraph
headings matching type questions.
3. Choosing the Correct Headings
Imagine you are doing a reading task which involves choosing the
correct headings for paragraphs from a list of possible
headings.
It may be very tempting to cross off the headings that you have used
as you go.
For example, here is an example of a task that someone is halfway
through after choosing four IELTS paragraph headings
1. A climate of fear
2. Fan violence returns
3. FIFA's response
4. Cancelling the cup
5. Legal action is taken
6. Not just the fans
7. Italy has a serious problem
8. Not to blame
9. Violence back in the news
10. A widespread problem
4. What is the possible problem with this way of doing things?
The problem with crossing off choices is that it means you no
longer consider those options for any of the remaining
paragraphs.
Let's suppose that you have incorrectly chosen heading i for
paragraph 1, when heading i should in fact be used for
paragraph 5. If you cross out the options as you go, it means
that when you come to do paragraph 5 you will choose a
different incorrect option.
In this way, making one mistake can lead to another. Making two
mistakes early on can easily lead to five or six wrong answers!
A much better idea is just to write down a paragraph number at the
end of each option as you go. For each paragraph consider all
the possible headings, and at this stage don't worry if you have
more than 1 paragraph number after each heading.
5. What is the possible problem with this way of doing things?
Paragraph 2 - viii / iv
When you get to the end of the passage you will probably have a single paragraph
number after most of the IELTS paragraph headings. You can now cross off those
options. For one or two perhaps you will have more than one. For each of
these go back to the passage and decide which of your choices is the best;
the paragraph you are left over with must need one of the other headings that you
didn't choose.
6. What is the possible problem with this way of doing things?
Paragraph 2 - viii / iv
We are now going to try this method. You will be reading a short article
about the problem of soccer violence from the Guardian newspaper.
Use the boxes at the bottom to input your answers. You can put in more
than one choice as you go along if you are not sure, but remember to delete
one of them at the end before you submit your answers.
Don't look below the reading until you have finished as there is a discussion
of the answers.
7. Soccer Violence 1
1. Fiorentina's exclusion from the UEFA Cup after a match official
was injured by a firecracker thrown during their second-round match
with Grasshopper Zurich in Salerno brought hooliganism back in the
media.
2. The Florence club are appealing against the decision, arguing that
the object was thrown by rival Salernitana fans and the ban would
set a dangerous precedent. But UEFA will have borne in mind that
Fiorentina were playing so far away from home only because they
had been banned from their own ground for crowd trouble in Europe
last season.
3. Whether Fiorentina have been hard done by or not, fan violence is
a problem in the Italian game. Fighting before Sunday's 1-1 draw
between Bologna and Roma left eight people in hospital, two with
stab wounds. After the game a Roma supporters' bus was stoned
and set on fire.
8. Soccer Violence 2
4. But Italy is not the only country suffering from what used to be called "the
English disease". At the weekend police in Bucharest fired tear-gas and made
20 arrests after a pitch invasion at the Steaua-Dinamo derby, reflecting a
marked growth in hooliganism in Romania. The Greek first division match
between PAOK Thessaloniki and Olympiakos Piraeus last week was
abandoned after one of the linesmen was left concussed by home fans furious
at a disallowed goal, a decision which brought 10,000 people on to the streets
of Salonika in protest. In neighbouring Albania, Skenderbeu Korce were fined
and docked three points last month after a brawl involving players, fans and the
referee.
9. Soccer Violence 3
5. Hooliganism is taking its toll on the South American game too. An
Argentinian judge suspended all second division matches this month in
an effort to combat rising violence. The same judge halted the first
division for two weeks in May for the same reason.
6. Football violence has claimed 37 lives in Argentina in the Nineties and
leading clubs routinely have to dole out free tickets and cash to their
gangsterish fans, known as barras bravas, whose activities include
extortion. This is leading to a frightening atmosphere. A recent survey
in Brazil found that 61 per cent of fans said they stayed away from
matches because they were too scared to attend..
7. FIFA is considering the postponement of the Confederations Cup,
scheduled for January, which may persuade the world champions
France to take part, a FIFA spokesman said yesterday.
10. Questions: Match the Paragraphs
List of Headings
i A climate of fear
ii Fan violence returns
iii FIFA's response
iv Cancelling the cup
v Legal action is taken
vi Not just the fans
vii Italy has a serious problem
viii Not to blame
ix Violence in the news again
x A widespread problem
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 7
12. IELTS Paragraph Headings - Answers Discussion
1. You might have chosen heading ii but this is wrong because we don't know that
violence ever disappeared (it may have been there all the time but just nobody
was talking about it). It has to be heading ix because it's back in the public eye -
i.e. in 'the news' / 'the media' again
2. This should be viii because Fiorentina are claiming that it was not their fault i.e.
they are not to blame.
3. The paragraph describes the situation in Italy which is serious, so you should
choose heading vii.
4. This paragraph describes the situation in a number of European countries, so the
answer must be heading x.
5. You might have wanted to choose heading x here, as it does introduce the
problems in another part of the world. But, you need this heading for the previous
paragraph, and this paragraph talks about the actions of a judge. The answer
should be heading v.
6. This paragraph discusses how people are frightened and scared. so you should
choose i.
7. Paragraph 7 discusses what action FIFA is considering, in other words, its
response. So iii is the correct answer. You should not choose iv. The paragraph
does talk about postponing the cup, but not cancelling it.
13. Well done
