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

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.

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.

A two-fisted tale of

'Along with solid performances from the entire cast and an ending
that won’t let you down, Tanter’s latest film has all the makings of
a fine British feature' - Gloria Daniels-Moss
2. At the beginning of the film we see Billy locked in a garage trying to open
a car door. This area is very secluded and claustrophobic location which
represents Billy’s character later on in this scene when he’s driving the
van.
Next we see Billy and Jason driving into the Dartford tunnel with
the Dartford bridge in the background. This is a cultural signifier as the
Dartford bridge and tunnel are big locations in England. We also notice
the wet streets which is stereotypical for a thriller. It then moves to a
point of view shot where we see the car driving into the tunnel . It almost
looks like a barrel of a gun which is good representation of death
throughout the film. You could also argue it’s as if Billy is leaving his world
in order to drive out the other side into Jason’s.
Next is when Jason goes to visit his ‘old friend’ which turns out to
be somebody who snitched on him to the police. This is located at a fish
market, this is also a cultural signifier as fish is a typical British food.
After this Billy drives Jason and his new hostage in a white van to
the middle of nowhere. This location could be used to show the lack of
life beyond criminal activity in Jason’s world and how he hasn’t been
allowed a life due to imprisonment.
3. Throughout the opening we see a use of chiaroscuro lighting. This
establishes that it’s a thriller. For example, it open’s with dull and dark
lighting, this is to define the mood. We also see a lamp in the
background which emphasises decay in the location. Billy later goes on
to start the car and we see from a point of view shot the headlights
hitting Jason. This is excellent as it creates mystery on who this
character is.
Next we see Billy and Jason driving into the Dartford tunnel, a
pale but still dull lighting was used. It then moves on to going through
the tunnel. There is a reflection of the lights hitting the window screen
and it almost projects lines that symbolises prison bars. This connotes
Jason’s ex prison status and perhaps Billy's future if he carries on being
apart of illegal activity. The camera then moves to Jason sitting in a
dark lighting, this could act as a representation of his ‘dark’ personality
as a murderer.
After this the rest of the opening is set with a pale and cold
atmosphere with an exception of them leaving the factory where we
see a nice blue warm sky. Irony and sarcasm is the only reason for
doing this because there isn’t a good moral side to the situation they
are in.
4. We don’t hear much over the sound of the strong Essex accent’s used
by the characters. Other then that, it is mainly diegetic sounds such as
hearing the dirt being emphasised as it crunches on the ground in the
garage.
At the beginning of the opening we seen an old dusty car, cobwebs and
hanging lights. This gives off the sense it is untouched and abandoned which is
rather creepy and shows that it’s a thriller.
Afterwards, Billy and Jason pick up a white van. This is stereotyped
particularly in the UK as being used by a dangerous or aggressive middle-class
man who has a job such as a plumber or locksmith.
Following this, the van turns up at a fish factory. We can tell the location
being a factory from the props used such as bulks of boxes which are being
moved around and fish lying on large metal worktops.
Jason then pulls out a crow bar also known as a wrecking bar to use as a
weapon and starts battering him with it. A crow bar is usually used by builders
and man in the construction industry, this refers back to the stereotype of a
white van.
5. Billy is played by Charlie Creed-
Miles. His character seems like
he was originally very innocent
and normal. He has a very
strong Essex accent and looks
very isolated and
uncomfortable in the opening.
Jason is played by Sean Bean. He is
an ex-criminal and current
gangster. He portrays himself as
someone with no boundaries and
little to loose. We learn that he is
predatory, strongly instinctive and
unreasonable.
Billy wears dull clothing in the
opening. I believe this is so he
can blend and pretend he’s
none existent to prevent getting
in any unwanted trouble.
Jason is wearing a very bold black
and gold patterned shirt with a
leather jacket on the top. This
reflects his personality, black
because he has a very dark
criminal side to him and gold to
represent that he is a gangster and
wants to succeed even if its by
being corrupt.
