The Song of Simcheong (심청가) is one of five epic sung folktales in South Korea's pansori (판소리) repertoire. It tells the story of a young girl called Simcheong (심청), who volunteers to jump into the sea between the Korean peninsula and China as a human sacrifice in the hope of restoring her father's eyesight. In a fairy-tale ending, Simcheong marries an emperor and is reunited with her long-lost father - who regains his vision. This interactive slideshow, aimed at university students in South Korea, brings the story of Simcheong to life using pictures from my 2013 visit to Simcheong Story Village, Gokseong and Okgwa. Participants will learn not only how to tell the story of Simcheong in English, but how to discuss it in the context of key concepts such as Confucianism (유교), Buddhism (불교), and filial piety (효심).
A Tale of Two Brothers: Heungbu and NolbuJacob Lotinga
This is a tale of two brothers with very different personalities. Heungbu (흥부) is kicked out of the family cottage by Nolbu (놀부), his unpleasant brother. He helps a swallow, and is rewarded when the grateful bird returns from China with a magic gourd seed. The Song of Heungbu (흥보가) is one of five epic sung folktales in South Korea's pansori (판소리) repertoire of musical storytelling. This interactive slideshow brings the story of Heungbu and Nolbu to life with pictures from Heungbu Village (흥부 마을) - where Im Se-gang, who is said to have inspired the folktale, lived. Aimed at university students in South Korea, the 'Tale of Two Brothers' slideshow is designed to equip participants with the skills needed to talk about Heungbu and his story in English.
Discover the legend of Robin Hood with this pioneering slideshow aimed at university students in South Korea. Lavishly illustrated with photography from summer 2014, the 'Robin Hood' show introduces Nottingham's town centre and how it has been shaped by the Robin Hood legend; participants will also enjoy a tour of Sherwood Forest, where the kind-hearted outlaw lived with his band of Merry Men. By the end of the intractive presentation, participants should be equipped with the vocabulary and skills needed to talk about Robin Hood, Nottingham and Sherwood Forest.
For further discussion of Robin Hood, South Korea's Hong Gil-dong, and other similar outlaws, please refer to my free e-book, The Trek to Mount Baekdu: A Journey into Korean Storytelling.
This interactive slideshow transports viewers' and participants' imaginations to Beopjusa Temple (법주사) at the foot of Mount Songni (속리산), and to 'King of Heaven Peak' (천왕봉) - all at the height of spring, arguably South Korea's most splendid season. Aimed at university students in South Korea, the slideshow re-tells the thrilling story of Great Monk Wonhyo's enlightenment, hastily followed by the legend of a venerable local tree called the Jeongipum Pine (or Palanquin-blocking Pine). If you are keen to know why Great Monk Wonhyo didn't visit China, and what it was that made King Sejo knight a picturesque pine tree, please look no further than the 'Mount Songni Stories' slide presentation. It's based on the Mount Songni chapter from my free e-book, The Trek to Mount Baekdu: A Journey into Korean Storytelling (http://bit.ly/1fiJCjl).
If you would like to discover how a grateful pheasant saved a woodcutter from a vengeful snake, or why a baker from Wonju built pagodas on a mountaintop, or how a dynasty's founder paid tribute to a stubborn scholar, please look no further than my Mount Chiak slideshow. Aimed at university students in South Korea, this interactive presentation re-tells three Mount Chiak stories and equips participants with the vocabulary to have an interesting chat about Mount Chiak. 'Mount Chiak and the Grateful Pheasant' is based on the opening chapter of my free e-book, The Trek to Mount Baekdu: A Journey into Korean Storytelling (http://bit.ly/1fiJCjl).
Of the five sung stories that belong to South Korea's pansori (판소리) repertoire, three come from the Jeolla region in the southwest (전라도); only one is based on a far-flung tale, and that's the 'Song of the Red Cliff'. The Jeokbyeokga (적벽가), as it's called in Korean, describes an especially exciting episode from China's Record of Three Kingdoms. This interactive slideshow features original photography from Jeonju's International Sori Festival (전주세계소리축제) and the Three Kingdoms Mural Street in Incheon's Chinatown. Aimed at university students of English in South Korea, this presentation brings the story to life while also equipping participants with the vocabulary needed to discuss the 'Red Cliff Song' in English. If you enjoy the show, you're advised to watch or read the original story, so as to be astonished by Kong Ming's (Zhu Ge Liang's) various strategies - which regrettably had to be omitted from my simplified paring-down of the tale.
In the 'Song of the Underwater Palace' (수궁가), Rabbit and Terrapin trick each other: Terrapin lures Rabbit to a kingdom under the sea with the aim of extracting his liver to cure an ailing dragon king; then Rabbit, equally wily, pretends that he has left his liver at home. With its origins by the seaside, this engaging Korean folktale began as the Book of Byeoljubu (from Byeoljubu Village), and was later strung into an approximately two-and-a-half-hour sung folktale that forms part of the pansori repertoire. This unique slideshow, designed for teaching English to university students in South Korea, re-tells the story and goes in search of its origins. Prepare to be astonished!
Mount Baekdu (백두산), known in Chinese as Mount Changbai (长白山), sits on the border between China and North Korea - yet you can see many pictures of its Heaven Lake in South Korea. If you enjoyed the first Mount Baekdu presentation, on the North Slope, you'll love this one - which transports participants and viewers imaginatively to the western rim of Mount Baekdu's Heaven Lake, right beside China's border with North Korea. This slide presentation includes original photography from the campus of Chonnam National University in South Korea, emphasising the cultural importance of Mount Baekdu in South Korea. The Mount Baekdu (West Slope) presentation forms part of my 'English through Mythology' course for South Korean university students, and it is based on the travel narrative The Trek to Mount Baekdu: A Journey into Korean Storytelling (http://bit.ly/1fiJCjl). Please enjoy!
Gimhae ('Golden Sea', according to its Chinese characters: 金海) is often unjustly overlooked - omitted from guidebooks, viewed as a mere suburb of Busan, remembered only as the setting for Gimhae Airport. However, on a day trip to Gimhae in autumn 2014, I found myself hiking into a land of legend, uncovering fascinating historic sights from the Gaya kingdom - King Suro's tomb, Queen Heo's tomb, a hilltop fortress, a turtle-shaped hill where future rulers had (so went the legend) hatched from eggs (suggesting sun workship, say some historians). After using this brilliant material for a blog post, I realised that it would also be perfect for my 'English through Mythology' course for South Korean students of English. Please enjoy the Gimhae slideshow; you may also wish to refer to the blog post on which it is based: http://bitly.com/1villko

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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
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.
