Detailed copy of the topic: (FOR HAND-OUTS)
LISTENING
“A mental operation involving processing sound waves, interpreting their meaning, and storing their meaning in memory.”
Out of the four language skills, (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening)
LISTENING HAS BEEN SADLY NEGLECTED
LANGUAGE
Basically ORAL
Students should develop their listening and speaking skills side by side with their reading and writing skills
60% - 70% of the time
An average student can listen to their teachers and classmates in school, to their parents and other members of the family at home, to announcers on the radio and television programs.
IMPORTANCE OF LISTENING
Accurate and perceptive listening will minimize misunderstandings and help students to sustain satisfying and productive relationships.
Careful listening can be critical to work situations.
Listening enables listeners to provide feedback to speakers.
Effective listening abilities strengthen the other language arts: reading comprehension and written communication.
NATURE OF LISTENING
LISTENING
A complex skill that requires attention and energy
Involves;
Recognition - Selection - Short Memory - Inference
Explanation:
The listener recognizes the sounds and the words; he engages in a process of selection on two levels – selecting sounds and words and grouping them into meaningful units as well as selecting the information relevant to his purpose in listening. This information is stored in then stored in the short-term memory, ready to be used; the inference is about the speakers age, beliefs, feelings, etc. Is an important micro-skill in listening.
LISTENING
A creative skill.
We hear sounds, words, the rise and fall of voice, from all which we create significance.
We listen not for the words alone but for the meanings.
Rivers; significance depends on three factors:
Linguistic information which the listeners perceive aurally of sounds, words, and their arrangements in utterances
Situational context of the utterance
Intentions of the speaker
Many of the students can hear but do not comprehend because it is only the linguistic content of the utterance that is given attention.

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

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.
