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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Create Your Own
Sporting Event
The topic of sports is a favorite of many students; this lesson plan helps students learn
and use language associated with sports. In the final activity, students use their imagi-nations
and language skills to create and describe their own sporting event.
The focus of this lesson is on speaking and listening, although several activities also
have a written component. You should not feel obligated to do every activity in this lesson
plan, but be sure to do enough scaffolding with the target language so that students are
able to complete the final activity successfully.
Level: Intermediate
Focus: Discussion, group work, writing, presentation
Purpose: Students will become familiar with language related to sports, and they will be able
to describe a sporting event, using appropriate language and structure.
Goal: Students will develop sports-related vocabulary, learn structures used with sports vocabu-lary
in sentences, use language to describe someone playing a sport, and design and describe
their own version of a sporting event.
Materials: Poster paper, whiteboard/blackboard and markers/chalk, markers or crayons, glue,
pictures from magazines or newspapers of people engaged in sporting activities (if available)
Activity 1: Warm-up (15 minutes)
Goal: To think about and generate already-known sports vocabulary (activate schema)
1. Write the word sports on the board. Give students two minutes to think about this topic.
2. Have students form pairs or groups of three and brainstorm lists of words associated with
sports. Encourage them to think of any words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs) related
to this topic—for example, ball (noun), fast (adjective), quickly (adverb), throw (verb).
3. After five minutes, ask each pair/group to write their words on the board (if space allows),
or elicit words from students and write them on the board.
4. When all groups have contributed, ask students to identify the types of words used: nouns,
adjectives, verbs, adverbs. Categorize the words on the board (you might use colored chalk
or markers to do this).
5. Focus on the nouns—specifically, names of sports. Ask students if they have had any experi-ence
with these sports. Encourage discussion by asking students questions such as:
• Which sports have you played?
• What sports have you seen on television?
• What sports have you heard on the radio?

2. 6. Tell the students that they are beginning a unit on sports that will culminate in a group
project based on developing their own sporting event. Tell them that as they move through
the activities they are to keep in mind the concept of a large sporting event, such as the
Olympics, the World Cup tournament, or the Asian Games. To help students begin to
imagine such an event, ask them questions such as these:
• Have you ever watched the Olympics (or a similar sporting event or tournament)
on television?
• Which sports do you most like to watch? Why?
• Which sports are you least interested in watching? Why?
• Are all sports open to both men and women? If not, why not?
• In the recent past, what countries have hosted the Olympics or some other large
sporting event? Have any nearby countries hosted a large sporting event?
Activity 2: Vocabulary Build (20 minutes)
Goal: To develop sports vocabulary
1. Elicit the names of more sports from students. If possible, use visuals. A good source of
visuals for sports is www.mes-english.com/flashcards; another is www.esl-kids.com/flash-cards/
flashcards.html. These web resources are free, and the websites have lots of additional
puzzles, games, and activities.
If necessary, ask specific questions to elicit different sports:
• What sports are played in the summer?
• What sports are played in the fall?
• What sports are played in the winter?
• What sports do people play individually?
• What sports do people play in teams?
• What sports use water?
• What sports use balls?
• What sports do you need to wear special clothes for?
As students say them, write the names of the sports on the board. Try to have a minimum
of 15–20 sports on the board. Here is a list of sports supported by flashcards from the above
websites:
baseball (American) football tennis
golf soccer (football) rugby
basketball gymnastics cricket
ice hockey field hockey boxing
badminton volleyball swimming
Ping-Pong (table tennis) judo karate
You and your students may be able to think of many others.
E N G L I S H T E A C H I N G F O R U M | N U M B E R 1 2 0 1 0 45
3. 2. Have students form small groups and ask them to list, in order, the most popular sports
in their country. They should list at least three sports. Ask them why they think those par-ticular
sports are popular. Students should provide reasons (in complete sentences) for the
popularity of these sports. For example, they could say, “Badminton is popular because it’s
easy to learn, anyone can play it, and the equipment isn’t expensive.”
3. Now ask students which sports are the least popular in their country. Have students, still in
their small groups, rank the least popular sports. Again, they should mention at least three
sports and give reasons why those sports are not popular in their country. For example,
“Skiing isn’t popular because there isn’t enough snow in [name of the country], and the
landscape is flat.”
4. Tell students that one person from each group will present the list of most popular sports,
and another student will present the list of least popular sports to the class, and the present-ers
will explain why their group chose those sports. Be sure that the students are prepared
to justify their answers.
5. As a whole class, have students compare lists. Are the lists and the reasons the same? Differ-ent?
Encourage students to discuss the similarities and differences in the lists and to defend
the reasons they give for a sport’s popularity or lack of popularity. You might ask a group
with an unusual list to defend its choices to the rest of the class.
During the discussion and after you finish, leave the list of sports on the board.
Activity 3: Language Focus (60 minutes)
Goal: To practice the grammar associated with speaking or writing about sports, specifically
using the correct verbs with different sports
1. On the board, draw the following chart:
Play Do Go
Explain to students that when people speak about sports in English, they use the above
three verbs to describe the action: we play baseball, we do gymnastics, we go swimming, etc.
Have students get into small groups. Then ask them to refer to the list of sports elicited in
the previous activity and to categorize the sports according to the verb that is used with each
sport. Tell students they can add other sports to their lists.
2. Elicit the categorization from the students. Here is what a sample chart could look like:
Play Do Go
baseball
football
golf
basketball
rugby
badminton
volleyball
Ping-Pong (table tennis)
cricket
tennis
gymnastics
judo
karate
yoga
ice skating
skiing
snowboarding
hiking
running
jogging
swimming

4. Ask students why each verb is used with some sports and not with others. (A quick answer
is that play is often used with team sports or sports with more than one person playing, do
is used for sports that are individual activities, and go is used for sports whose most com-mon
form is a gerund.)
3. Show a picture to the class of someone engaged in a sporting activity. (If you don’t have a
picture, use the board to draw a person doing something athletic.) Ask students what the
person is doing.
Now you have two options. Your choice of Option 1 or Option 2 will depend on what you
want your students to write about in the next step—a paragraph about sports or a para-graph
that is more general.
Option 1 is to focus on sports. Ask sports-related questions about the person in the picture:
• Why does she like this sport?
• When did she begin playing this sport?
• How did she learn to play this sport?
• How often does she practice?
Write students’ answers on the board.
Option 2 is to ask students to use their imagination to come up with more information
about the person in the picture.
• Where does she live?
• What else does she like to do besides this sport?
• What kinds of food does she eat?
• What kind of music does she like?
• Does she like movies?
• Who is her favorite actor?
• Where does she go to school?
• What subjects does she like to study in school?
Write students’ answers on the board.
For both Option 1 and Option 2, if the class has been practicing a particular tense or lan-guage
structure, you can ask questions that will elicit that structure from the students. To
practice the present simple tense, you could ask about the person’s routine (for example,
“How often does she play tennis?”). To practice the past tense, ask what sport the person
played at a specific time in the past (“When did he swim?” or “What sport did he play
yesterday?”). If the class is practicing the future tense, ask what the person will do after
he or she has finished the sporting activity. If the class has been practicing the present
perfect, ask what other sports the person might have done or played in the past or how
long the person has played the sport shown in the picture. Here are examples of possible
answers:
E N G L I S H T E A C H I N G F O R U M | N U M B E R 1 2 0 1 0 47
5. She plays tennis every day.
He swam yesterday.
After she plays volleyball, she will do her homework.
She will do gymnastics tomorrow.
He has played football for three years.
Note: If you have a picture of a famous athlete, you can elicit information about this par-ticular
person instead of drawing a picture on the board. Or, if you draw an athlete on the
board, it might help to contextualize the activity if you or the class names the person on the
board after a famous athlete your students know.
4. As a class, decide how the information you have generated could be used to write a para-graph
about the athlete. Together, “write” a paragraph on the board about the person in
the picture. (This is an optional step. If your students are familiar with writing paragraphs,
they might not need the extra practice this class-writing task would give them. Later in this
activity, students will write a paragraph either in pairs or individually, so you can decide
whether this step is necessary.)
5. Distribute pictures of people engaged in sporting activities. (If no pictures are available,
write the names of different sports on slips of paper, enough for each student in the class.
It’s all right if more than one student gets the same sport. Ask students to draw a picture
of a person doing or playing that sport. Give a quick time limit to keep students from put-ting
too much effort into the drawing—that isn’t the point of the exercise. Then collect the
pictures and redistribute them among students.)
6. Ask students to individually write a rough draft of a paragraph about the person in the pic-ture
they received. For example, if the picture shows someone playing soccer, the paragraph
might include information about the person’s soccer team, likes and dislikes, habits, etc.
Giving students sentence prompts can get them on the right track; examples include:
She likes to _____. [play football]
He doesn’t like to _____. [play in the rain]
She loves _____. [to play in the snow]
He hates _____. [being cold]
She never _____. [plays with her sister]
He always _____. [catches the ball]
Her team _____. [practices hard]
Another choice is to have students write the paragraphs in pairs, collaborating equally on
the task.
7. If time permits, students should exchange papers for peer review work. Remind students to
focus first on the ideas in the paragraph and then on mechanics (grammar, spelling, etc.).
Tell students to pay particular attention to whether the verbs play, do, and go, when used
with sporting activities, have been used correctly.
8. Optional: Have students revise their paragraphs as homework.

6. Activity 4: Create Your Own Sporting Event (approximately 100 minutes)
Goal: To use sports language to design and describe an original sporting event
1. Tell students (or remind them, if you have told them before) that they are going to create
an idea for their own sporting event. Elicit names of sporting events that the students have
heard of—for example, the Olympics, the World Cup tournament, the Asian Games, and
the Special Olympics.
2. To clarify and contextualize this activity, students will listen to the text on a postcard sent
by a girl attending a sporting event. If you have a postcard available, hold it up and ask
students what it is. Ask, “When do people send postcards?” (People usually send postcards
when they are on vacation, when they take a trip, etc.) Tell the students they are going to
hear what a girl attending a sporting event has written to her parents.
3. Write the following pre-listening questions on the board:
• Where is she?
• What’s the weather like?
• What sport does the girl like the most?
4. Read the following text:
!"#$%&'(%#)*%!#*+

5. After students have listened to the text, have them quickly compare their answers to the
pre-listening questions. Elicit answers from the whole class.
6. Draw the following chart on the board:
Where
When
What
Accommodation
Food
Transportation
Duration
Ask students to draw the chart in their notebooks.
E N G L I S H T E A C H I N G F O R U M | N U M B E R 1 2 0 1 0 49
7. 7. Read the text again. Ask students to take notes for each category, based on what they hear.
Read the text at least twice.
8. Have students compare their charts. Elicit information from the whole class and write it in
the chart on the board. Do not erase the filled-in chart, which might look something like this:

Transportation 9#;H.)/+%:30
Duration -9'%9""H0
9. Ask students, in groups, to identify the important factors that make a sporting event suc-cessful.
After the groups brainstorm for a few minutes, elicit factors from the whole class
and write them on the board. Factors should include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Type of event
• Location and venue
• Sports that are included
• Amenities nearby
• Season
• Length of the event
• Theme of the event (season, region, type of sports played)
• Athletes (who they are, how many there are, where they are from, etc.)
Ask which factors were addressed in the postcard, looping back to the filled-in chart on the
board.
10. Ask students, as a class, to decide which factors are most important to the success of a sport-ing
event. Divide the class into groups and assign each group a factor. Ask each group to
develop criteria, related to their factor, that make a sporting event successful. For example,
if a group is assigned the factor “location and venue,” important criteria would include the
size of the venue, accessibility of the location and venue, condition of the venue, and so on.
Give groups five to ten minutes to develop their criteria.
11. Have each group present to the class its criteria for the factor it was assigned. Write all these
criteria on a large sheet of paper to be posted on the classroom wall. Students will need to
refer to these criteria for activities that follow.
The class has now developed a schematic for a successful sporting event.
12. (This is an optional activity for classes with access to the Internet.) With students in small
groups, assign each group a sporting event to research on the Internet. Events could be those
mentioned in Step 1 above or other events that are unique to your country or region. Tell
students to work in groups to find out as much information about that particular event as
they can; ask them to summarize their findings and then present them to the rest of the class.
50 2 0 1 0 N U M B E R 1 | E N G L I S H T E A C H I N G F O R U M
8. 13. Again divide the class into groups of four or five students. Explain that each
group has been given the task of organizing a sporting event for their country.
In their groups, they must do the following:
a. Choose the theme or identity of their event: Is it a regional event?
A seasonal event? An event based on a particular sport or sports? An
event based on the kind of athletes who will be invited?
b. Choose a venue or venues.
c. Decide whether the event will focus on one sport or whether many
sports will be played, and choose the sports that will be included.
d. Identify accommodations for athletes and spectators.
e. Specify the length of time the event will last.
f. Identify the time of year when the event will take place.
g. Incorporate a cultural aspect into the event (for example, a regional
dance or exhibition of a sport that is not included in the competi-tion).
Emphasize that the students should be able to justify each of their choices. It
is not enough, for example, to say, “We want to include football because we
like it.” A better answer would be, “We want to include football because it
is a very popular sport, and we will get many spectators for football games.”
14. Tell students they are to design a poster, featuring both pictures and text,
that best presents their sporting event. Posters should include artwork (hand-drawn
pictures or pictures clipped from magazines or printed from the
Internet—depending on what you decide and on the resources available) and
language describing the various aspects (a through g listed in Step 13) of the
sporting event.
15. Students will prepare to present their poster and ideas to a committee that will
select the best sporting event to sponsor. Each member of the group must take
part in the presentation—students can divide presentation tasks as they wish,
but each member must present something. Each group will have a minimum
of five minutes and a maximum of ten minutes for their presentation. (You
may want to set a precise amount of time, such as seven minutes. The time
limit will depend on the amount of time available, the number of groups,
the students’ speaking ability, and other factors.) If necessary, assign students
specific roles for the presentation: one student can present the introduction,
another student can announce which sports will be played or give details
about the one sport for a one-sport program, another student can describe the
amenities for visitors, and so on.
16. Invite five or six students from another class, or several teachers, to come to your
class. (You’ll have to arrange this in advance.) Explain that they are the “Sport-ing
Committee.” They will hear a number of presentations on possible sporting
events, and their job will be to select the sporting event that they feel is best.
Show the committee members the schema of important criteria for successful
