The classroom had 20 five-year-old students, most familiar with the school and English, but some new students struggled with the language. An autistic boy in the class disrupted lessons and had trouble concentrating, requiring an extra teacher to work with him. While this presented challenges, the group was generally nice and hard-working, and the teacher enjoyed the experience.
Draw Me a Picture: Tools for Visual LearnersJudy Thompson
What would a picture of language acquisition look like? The 6-Point Model for Speaking English shows you along with images for every aspect of language learning from the historical breakdown between Writing and Speaking in 1476 and the 6-Point Model (which is essentially the road map to fluency), to Venn diagrams on how English compares to other major languages are all represented in pictures. This presentation features a series of images that show how to teach learners to speak English quickly and confidently using simple tools they already have - ABC's and Colors. Draw Me a Picture was presented at TESL Canada 2015 and TESL Ontario 2015. Since a picture says a thousand words there is a lot of material to digest in this talk. For copies of the images email judy@thompsonlanguagecenter.com
Workshops on this accelerated learning system are also available.
This keynote for the TESL Niagara Conference 2014 was teacher training lesson on a quick and dirty method for teaching anyone to speak English with the Thompson Vowel Chart from the back of a business card and an elastic band. First, participants had to throw out (or at least relegate to a back burner) everything they thought they knew about English and how to teach it. We started from scratch using only features of English that are always true and the information students already know - their name, the alphabet and colors. The 1 hour presentation trotted out a system for teaching speaking to students of all levels and provides students with the tools they need to figure out pronunciation without a teacher present.
A good time was had by all!

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

1. Group Description
The classroom where I taught had twenty children that were about 5 years
old approximately, most of them were acquainted to the school, to the teachers
and the ways of working in the classroom.
However, there were some new students that had some problems with the
language as they had never learnt English before, and their knowledge about the
language didn't even reached the minimum required for this kindergarten, they
didn't even know the primary colors.
Another thing to bear in mind was that in this classroom there was an
autistic boy, so there were some problems that in other circumstances (without
any integrated child), weren't. The first thing that I realized was that my lessons
were interrupted several times because of this child (he didn't use to behave).
Also, there were some days in which this student had a great predisposition
to work, but unfortunately most of the times he had problems to concentrate, so
those days I had to let him work freely.
Furthermore, as this child couldn't work alone, there was an special
teacher in the classroom all the time, who had to transmit the boy the knowledge
I was teaching the rest of the students.
Finally I could say that the group in general was very nice and hard worker,
I didn't have major problems and I really enjoyed this experience very much.
