This document provides information about the investigation and data collection process for a final project proposing a new, sustainable town. It discusses the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro as an example of an early planned city with a grid street system and water management. It also examines the historic trading town of Hoi An in Vietnam. For present towns, it looks at Georgetown in Penang, Malaysia and Arundel in the UK. It identifies Copenhagen, Denmark as a model for future towns due to its extensive bicycle transportation network. The goal is to draw upon elements from these various places to design a new, livable town that focuses on sustainability.

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

INTRODUCTION
As the final ELEMENTS OF NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT project,
we are given a task to propose a new town that is being crowded. Being
the mayor of the town, we students have to propose the new town
layout very quickly. The town has to be able to provide the sustainability
for the people and also for the future.
Students are given few choices in choosing a theme to create a new
town or by re-enhancing a current town. Such as, a town with a lake, a
town on a small island, a town with a river flowing right through the
town, a town next to the sea or estuary.
So for this task, we have to conduct vigorous research online and
research on books to know the type of grid systems that are suitable. At
the same time, for a proper urban town planning, we have to consider
zonings of the town, activities, transportation and networking
infrastructure and sustainable initiatives for better living.

A TOWN
DEFINITION
/toun/
noun: town; plural noun: towns
an urban area that has a name, defined boundaries, and local government, and that
is generally larger than a village and smaller than a city.
A BRIEF HISTORY
A town is a human settlement larger than a village but smaller than a city. The size
definition for what constitutes a "town" varies considerably in different parts of the
world.
In Chile, towns (Spanish: pueblos) are defined by the National Statistics Institute (INE)
as an urban entity with a population from 2001 to 5000 or an area with a population
from 1001 to 2000 and an established economic activity.
In Australia, towns or "urban centre localities" are commonly understood to be those
centers of population not formally declared to be cities and having a population in
excess of about 200 people.[2] Centers too small to be called towns are generally
understood to be a township.
In addition, some local government entities are officially styled as towns in
Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, and before the state-wide
amalgamations of the 1990s in Victoria some local government entities were styled

as towns, but now towns are only localities that contain an urban centre with a
population greater than 200.
WHAT MAKES A TOWN?
A basic town are made up of these aspects :
~ Having a good government administration.
~ Basic needs of sources – efficient electricity, food and water supplies
~ Proper infrastructures – road, sewage systems, proper lightings.
~ Management of segregations for the people.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD TOWN?
A SUSTAINABLE TOWN makes it a good town including these as well :
~ The atmosphere. Not all small town atmospheres are created alike.
~ A busy downtown with lots of folksy-type stuff going on all the time.
~ A desire to meet the challenge of transitioning to renewable energy.
~ Basic transportation for mobility of people.
~ Well organized zonings that equally separates the town and its environment.
~ Civilization of the people in the town as adjacent to the future.
~ Culture of the town that has established well.
~ Waste are recycled and used as resources that does not extinct.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE TOWN?
As mentioned above, all the criteria falls into one to make a future town. Whether it
is being in the process to be successful or not, a town DOES become SUSTAINABLE
when it has all those criteria fulfilled.
As an example, THE SAFE HOUSE.
A basic model for a disaster resistant, low cost housing solution, that rather than just
being a low carbon build, will actually be prepared for the results of climate change
as well. It is becoming very clear that we are already too late to prevent climate
change from wreaking havoc on communities all over the world, from the floods in
the Philippines which killed thousands of people, to the US big freeze this winter and
the series of Jet Stream movements that have brought extreme weather to the UK on

ANCIENT CITY
Mohenjo-Daro was discovered in 1922 by R. D. Banerji,
an officer of the Archaeological Survey of India, two years after major excavations
had begun at Harappa, some 590 km to the north. Large-scale excavations were
carried out at the site under the direction of John Marshall, K. N. Dikshit, Ernest
Mackay, and numerous other directors through the 1930s.
Mohenjo-Daro was a city located in the south of Modern Pakistan in the Sindh
Province, on the right bank of the Indus River. It was built between four and five

thousand years ago, and lasted until 3,700 BP. It was part of the Harrapan Civilization,
and at its peak, the city had at least 35,000 residents.
This was a sophisticated society with a wide-ranging diet that consisted of meat from
both wild and domesticated animals and a variety of cultivated wheat, barley, peas
and lentils – a huge step forward in human progression from the nomadic hunter-
gatherers.
Mohenjo-Daro was one of the largest centers of the Indus Valley Civilizations,
experiencing the transition from Stone-age to Bronze-age.
A well-planned street grid and an elaborate drainage system hint that the occupants
of the ancient Indus civilization city of Mohenjo-Daro were skilled urban planners
with a reverence for the control of water. But just who occupied the ancient city in
modern-day Pakistan during the third millennium B.C. remains a puzzle.
The city lacks ostentatious palaces, temples, or monuments. There's no obvious
central seat of government or evidence of a king or queen. Modesty, order, and

cleanliness were apparently preferred. Pottery and tools of copper and stone were
standardized. Seals and weights suggest a system of tightly controlled trade.
The city's wealth and stature is evident in artifacts such as ivory, lapis, carnelian, and
gold beads, as well as the baked-brick city structures themselves.
A watertight pool called the Great Bath, perched on top of a mound of dirt and held
in place with walls of baked brick, is the closest structure Mohenjo-Daro has a temple.

ANCIENT TOWN
HOI AN TOWN, VIETNAM
Hoi An, an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Asian trading port, is
an outstanding material manifestation of the fusion of cultures over time in an
international maritime commercial centre.
The town is a special example of a traditional trading port in South-East Asia which
has been completely and assiduously preserved: it is the only town in Viet Nam that

has survived intact in this way. Most of the buildings are in the traditional
architectural style of the 19th and 20th centuries. They are aligned along narrow
lanes of traditional type. They include many religious buildings, such as pagodas,
temples, meeting houses, etc., which relate to the development of a port community.
The traditional lifestyle, religion, customs and cooking have been preserved and
many festivals still take place annually.
And so, I would like to extract out the grid systems in Mohenjo-Daro and the
incredible maritime commercial centre in Hoi An town to be applied in my town.

Georgetown, the capital of the island Penang, is named after the British King George
III. The city is located at the northeast side of the island and has, suburbs included,
about 550.000 inhabitants. After Penang was handed over by the sultan of Kedah to
the English, Sir Francis Light founded the city Georgetown. He immediately started
the construction of Fort Cornwallis. Over the years this first settlement evolved into a
big city (in that time). In 1957 Georgetown got permission to be called a city and
until 1972 it was the only city in Malaysia with this permission.
Georgetown is built in quarters. There is the Chinese quarter (Chinatown) and also a
colorful quarter called Little India. Besides the many beautiful historical buildings;
Georgetown also has many modern highrise buildings that often contains big
shopping malls. In and around Georgetown there are many fun attractions that are
absolutely worthy of a visit.

themselves beguiled by its medieval charm. Once the site of a busy port, Arundel is
now a premier tourist attraction in Sussex and a designated conservation area.
Idyllic Arundel was founded soon after the 11th century Norman Conquest. It now
boasts one of the finest castles in Britain which overlooks the River Arun and the
ruins of a Dominican Friary. First built for Norman baron, Robert de Montgomery in
1067, Arundel Castle has been the ancestral home of the Dukes of Norfolk for some
850 years. Indeed, much of town's wealth and attraction is easily attributed to this
prestigious family. Beautiful Arundel Cathedral was built by Henry, the 15th Duke of
Norfolk and the marvellous Arundel Castle Cricket ground, (formerly the Dukes'
private playing field) was opened to the public in 1975. Other beautiful places for
which you can give thanks to the good ol' Dukes of Norfolk are the lovely Arundel
Park and the remains of Blackfriars Friary.
Arundel boasts another unique sight – the only two-in-one church in England. The
Church of St Nicholas is the local Anglican parish which is entered via London Road.
However, this house of worship is soldered to the Roman Catholic Fitzalan Chapel
which lies at the border of the castle grounds. The two churches are housed in the
same building separated only by an iron grille and a glass screen.

FUTURE OF TOWN
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
The reason why I chose this city in particular to let a new future town be developed
with this city’s new improvements. With urban population of 1.2 billion with land area
of total 77.20km2, with creating a new town with smaller population size and land
area, as the main focus of how people will travel, is by cycling.

Cycling became the most primary mode of transportation in Copenhagen back in the
starting of the 20th
century. Whereby the very first bicycle path was established in
1892. Back then, there were only about 2500 bicycles running around the city but
now it has radically increased to about 80,000 cyclists everyday. As the city
developed quickly, the tradition of cycling to places did not vanish, instead a lot
more people started to cycle wherever they were going. Mainly from a perspective of
health, this way of transportation was a very good choice of not polluting the
environment.
Everyday, approximately 38% of citizens in the city cycle to work, school and
universities covering a range area of 1.2million kilometers daily. Copenhagen is well-
known as being the most bicycle-friendly city in the world. Copenhagen aims a goal
to be the first carbon neutral capital by the year 2025.

Therefore, promoting my town proposal, I would like to have the primary mode of
transportation will be the bicycle, as it is environmentally pollution free, cheapest
mode of transportation and not forgetting the best way to not have or start any

RADON
Based on all the investigations that I have done, I have decided to propose a town
with a lake. This is because my main aim of town will be an education and research
hub for the study of marine lives in the lake.
Furthermore, my town will be having almost 60% of greeneries, such, green parks,
deep forest and public fields for the use of my people in this town. I have chosen to
name my town, RADON is because the scientific meaning of this name is actually a
harmless gas particle that does not hurt or harm anyone, and so my town.
This town’s grid system will be square grid system as this grid happens to be a very
structural grid as shown in the investigation about ancient city ; Mohenjo-Daro. The
reason of choosing it to be an education and research hub is because of the Hoi An
Town that has the connecting sea to the ports which is used as international
maritime commercial centre.
As for the modes of transportation for my town, it will be the same as in Copenhagen,
Denmark which they use bicycles to go everywhere. My town is significantly have

CONCLUSION
Constructing a well developed town does not mean that everything has to be
structured and out into place but how much it can be sustainable for the more years
to come and to make sure everything that is built will be able to be concrete for all
the people living in the town.
Sustainability is just not having the amount of materials that is going to uphold the
infrastructures, but the amount of effort that has been applied in order to make it
successful counts more. Never the less, the more effort is put into the development
of this town, the more better sustainability can be obtained not just for the people
but also for the town itself to be maintained well.

In a nutshell, a town is always a good start off to learn more what makes it to be
incredibly noticeable by the outside people who are outside the boundary of the
town ,when other people notice how well maintained is one’s town, it is where the
sustainability comes all up together.
