This document discusses different types of essays such as expository, comparison/contrast, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of studying individually versus in a group. An expository essay presents information about a topic in an objective manner, while a comparison/contrast essay measures the similarities and differences between two subjects. Studying in a group allows sharing ideas and discussion, but an individual approach allows more attention from the teacher.

teachers handout 4elt conference how learners learn better.pdfMr Bounab Samir
My abstract : 4th elt conference
Learning preferences : How learners learn better?
Learning preferences are all about how your learners study and learn in better ways that reflect their interests and likes. Learners learn in different ways and have a style or a preference to help them acquire new skills , knowledge and remember things.
Some teachers prefer the concept preference to learning styles so as not to classify a learner and impose a particular learning style. What suits one learner might not suit another? For example, if a group of people are learning videos, some like listening and dramatization the teacher acts. Others want to stand up and move performing the movements at the same time as watching the teacher perform them.
Talking about the best learners learn respecting their preferences and needs is like someone in real life situation where he or she may buy a laptop or smart TV , do you get straight in and start using it, do you read the instructions first, or do you call or ask for competent person to show you what to do (or do you use the internet to watch a video on YouTube)?
That is a real life example of someone’s learning style or preference for learning.
Teachers first primary concern is how to make things easier for their learners and audience – The may opt for a particular methodology that they see it suit them or for a specific diversity while delivering their content, but this might not suit their learners.
For example, if teachers prefer to listening to a lecture they certainly feel more comfortable lecturing their learners.
That’s why teachers have to find out what their learners’ preferences are, then they can adapt the delivery content that to suits them.
There are so many different ways of ascertaining preferences, some systems might contradict others or even be misunderstood. Some people are in favour of them, whereas others aren't. The current thinking is that there is no valid research to justify their use. However, you need to make your own decision on whether using the results of learning styles' tests for differentiation will work for your learners. You will also need to check whether the organisation you work for advocates their use or not.
Most people don't fit into one style or preference, I recommend using a variety of teaching and learning approaches to help learning to take place. Your learners might instinctively know what works best for them rather than having it determined for them. For example, they might prefer practical activities rather than reading or writing. This might have been developed from previous courses they have attended. Rather than this being their learning preference, you could think of it as their teaching preference. You could ask your learners which teaching preference they prefer and then adapt your sessions accordingly.
You probably know if it’s hard for your learners to learn by listening,
But if they get their bodied up and moving around, things click instantly.
Or maybe they love listening to audiobooks,
But nothing seems to make sense to them when they sit down to read a paper book.
What you are describing when you talk about your learners in this way is their learning style.

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.

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.

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

ENG10 - Report on Expository Essay
1.
2. What is an Expository essay?
The purpose is to present important information about a
specific subject.
it exposes. It is structured exactly like any other essay with
an introductory paragraph which will contain a
sound thesis statement, main body paragraphs that help
to prove your thesis statement and a conclusion
paragraph that summarizes all your points and wraps up
your essay. The length can vary from essay to essay.
3. How to construct an Expository essay?

an introductory paragraph which will contain a
sound thesis statement, main body paragraphs that help
to prove your thesis statement and a conclusion
paragraph that summarizes all your points and wraps up

4. Comparison and Contrast
measure similarities and differences between two
subjects.
The terms compare and contrast are two different words
and their meanings are different. Compare means to
look at something critically and see what they have in
common or their similarities. Contrast is to note down the
differences between the two objects and what
difference they have.
Goals: To Inform or Persuade
5. How to construct this essay?
Clearly identify the subjects you are writing about. Make
sure they are appropriate and have enough points of
commonality for a meaningful comparison.
Draw a line down the center of your page. Write names
of the subjects on the left and right. Briefly describe each
subject.
6. How to construct this essay?
Jot down as many ideas as you can about each
subject. You may find yourself returning to the list to
make changes.
Check the lists for points of similarity or contrast. Delete
needless data.
Examine your notes and narrow the focus of your paper.
Because you may be addressing two subjects in a five
hundred word essay instead of one, it is important to
refine your topic.
7. Group study vs. Individual Study
There are many ways to study nowadays. You can study
alone or with a group of students. Some people prefer to
study with a group because there they can make friends
and share their ideas. Other people, including myself,
believe that it is better to study alone with a teacher and
have opportunities to get more teacher's attention and
individual approach.
8. Advantages of Studying in Groups
Studying in a group can help you find new friends.
Share ideas with other students. For example, while studying in
group, students can have discussions and debates on the topic of
the lecture they heard. Everyone is allowed to express their opinion,
agree or disagree with other students.
Statistically, students who study with their peers earn higher marks
than those who study by themselves.
involves interactions which help to study and prevent boredom
9. Advantages of Studying Individually
A teacher pays more attention on your work. When there is a big
group of students, a teacher is not able to answer all of the
questions. But if you study alone, the teacher can help you to
eliminate all your misunderstandings.
Allows you to have an individual studying program. That is what
group lessons can never provide. It often appears when you need
to study one topic more intensive and for a longer time, while
another one is well-known for you and you only need to shortly
review it.
That proves that studying individually is also faster than in a group.
10. Disadvantages of Studying in Groups
A study group only works if everyone does their part. The group
sessions are only are strong as their weakest link. This means that, if
one student is weak, his presence can be detrimental for everyone
else. One loud, rowdy or unprepared student can make it difficult
for everyone else to stay on track. Instead of making their way
through the course, they often end up trying to motivate that
student to keep up. Sometimes it's not one student causing the
problem but the group itself. An unmotivated or underprepared
group can turn into one long gossip session.
11. Disadvantages of Studying Individually
Not possible to ask questions of instructor or to learn from questions
asked by others learning the same topic
Individuals must be motivated enough to complete tutorial
Frequently takes novices longer to learn via tutorial than via
classroom setting
Your on your own. There is nobody else to blame for mistakes or to
complain to when things go wrong.

15. Conclusion
To sum up, students who are eager to make new acquaintances
and learn other students' points of view choose to study with a
group of students. Those who need more teacher's attention and
individual approach usually prefer to study alone.
