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

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.

SPOOF
A Farmer And A Man
A farmer was sitting in the neighborhood bar getting drunk. A man came in and asked the
farmer, "Hey, why are you sitting here on this beautiful day, getting drunk?" The farmer shook his
head and replied, "Some things you just can't explain."
"So what happened that's so horrible?" the man asked as he sat down next to the farmer.
"Well," the farmer said, "today I was sitting by my cow, milking her. Just as I got the bucket full,
she lifted her left leg and kicked over the bucket."
"Okay," said the man, "but that's not so bad." "Some things you just can't explain," the farmer
replied. "So what happened then?" the man asked. The farmer said, "I took her left leg and tied it to
the post on the left."
"And then?"
"Well, I sat back down and continued to milk her. Just as I got the bucket full, she took her right
leg and kicked over the bucket."
The man laughed and said, "Again?" The farmer replied, "Some things you just can't explain."
"So, what did you do then?" the man asked.
"I took her right leg this time and tied it to the post on the right."
"And then?"
"Well, I sat back down and began milking her again. Just as I got the bucket full, the stupid cow
knocked over the bucket with her tail."
"Hmmm," the man said and nodded his head. "Some things you just can't explain," the farmer
said.
"So, what did you do?" the man asked.
"Well," the farmer said, "I didn't have anymore rope, so I took off my belt and tied her tail to the
rafter. In that moment, my pants fell down and my wife walked in ... Some things you just can't
explain."

ANALYTICAL EXPOSITON
Corruption and Indonesian Culture
Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia for
three reasons. Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions
happen in many places. The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have reported
corruptions are done everywhere, almost in all departments or public services of this country.
Corruptions happen in health, education departments and banks. When we manage to get some
documents in public service offices, we usually need much money to pay. Manipulations happen
everywhere,
The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come to an
end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit corruption. This
is the worst. Corruptions happen in police department, courts where judges, public prosecutors,
lawyers make deals to do corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004, Probosutejo reported
that he had bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which becomes the highest level
where the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the local courts and see what
happen there. You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of corruption. Therefore, we can say
that corruptions becomes our culture. Do you like it?
The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the situations in which
people have opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because they are not
disciplined. For example, in the street when they drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do not have the
driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the local policemen. To avoid more
difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words, the citizens and
officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people were critical, disciplined, and
obey the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country will not be number one
corrupting country in the world. conclusion Based on the reasons, we can conclude that corruption is
2
3. becoming a bad culture in Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It seems that there must be
more severe penalty for the corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this country?

HORTATORY EXPOSITION
Corruption
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money and
corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the United States. It’s just a
matter of intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most
corrupt place in Indonesia.
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the capital. As
most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who want
to minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the officials.
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors is
still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from getting a bad mentality
caused by corruption.
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be involved
in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinction.

DISCUSSION
The Advantages and the Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is commonly offered as an alternative to overcome the crisis of energy. The
debate of whether the use of nuclear energy is an appropriate choice has not come to an end. Some
people agree with the utilization of it because of its benefits. Some others, however, disagree
because of its risks to the environment.
Those who agree with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that nuclear energy is the
only feasible choice to answer the ever-increasing energy needs. In their opinion, the other sources
of energy: oil, coal, and liquid natural gas are not renewable and safe, while nuclear energy can be
sustainable when produced in a safe way.
However, people who disagree with the use of nuclear energy point out that the waste of nuclear
products can completely destroy the environment and human lives. A meltdown in a reactor, for
example, usually results in the contamination of the surrounding soil and water. Take for example,
the blow up of the nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Russia twenty years
ago. The serious contamination imperiled people and the environment severely.
It is obvious that nuclear energy should be avoided because it really endangers the environment
but what about a less polluted energy instead of nuclear energy? Is there any alternative energy to
overcome the crisis of energy?

NEWS ITEM
Lapindo Hot Mudflow
Jakarta: the spreading of Lapindo hot mudflow post explosion of Pertamina’s gas pipe forced the
residents of Kedungbendo and Renokenongo villages to evacuate.
The mudflow also flooded half of the Tanggulangin anggun Sejahtera housing complex in
Sidoarjo. Mudflow of more than half a meter in depth flooded 66, 0448 houses in this complex.
“The residents were evacuate to Pasar baru, which was previously a shelter for 2, 605 families
whose houses were flooded by mudflows”, said Syaiful Illah, a deputy regent of Sidoarjo, yesterday
(16 november 2006).
From Tempo’s monitoring, the refugees came continuously by trucks, public transportations and
motorcycles. They straightaway occupied the market, kiosks and stalls by spreading out mats and
pillow for sleeping.
Government officials appeared to be busy preparing mass kitchens and supplying rice, instant
noodles, cooking oil and other needs. “We took the food from Sidoarjo Social Service”, said Syaiful
Illah. “There hasn’t been any aid provided by Lapindo”. In the mean time, the National team for
mudflow relief in Sidoarjo has not been able to block mudflow in the gas pipe explosion.
