A documentary can be biased because the director has control over what footage and interviews are included in the final cut. They can portray people or situations in a positive or negative light depending on what they choose to include or exclude. Documentaries are also subject to techniques like "frankenbiting" where interviews are edited to change their meaning. While archival footage from other sources may be more objective, it too could have been previously edited to portray bias. For these reasons, viewers should research the topics in documentaries from multiple independent sources to evaluate the documentary's validity rather than accepting everything at face value.

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.

Homework task on documentaries
1. I thinkthat a documentarycanbe objective asthe personwhoismakingthe documentarycouldbe
biasedonthe topicor situationinwhichhe orshe is documenting.Theythencouldmake the
documentaryverybiasedbyonlyaddingfootage andinterviews thattheydeemtobe correct.
AnotherreasonwhyIbelieve thatadocumentarycanbe biasedisbecause the peoplewhoare
makingthe documentarycaneasilyportraypeople inabad or goodlightbyjust cuttingsectionsout.
Theycouldalsoof easilyusedthe technique 'frankenbiting',tochange whatthe intervieweeswere
sayingto make themlookbador good, bytakingout 'sound-bites'toremove andaddwordsintothe
interview tomake itsoundverydifferenttowhatitoriginallywas. Alsomostdocumentarieshave to
be to a certainstandardbefore theygetpublished,andthe footage couldeasilybe editedtothisset
standardthat the directorwants.Howeverthe documentarycouldhave archival content,whichis
footage thatis sourcedfromanothersource.Thiswouldmeanthatthe footage islikelytobe valid,
as it hascome fromanothersource otherthan yourown.But, that footage couldalsobe biasedand
objective towardssomething,andthatsource couldhave easilyeditedthe footage totheirliking.
AnotherreasonwhyIbelieve thatadocumentarycanbe objective isforthe director'spersonal gain,
as if he makesthe documentarymore interestingbyeditingfootageitcanattract more attention.
Whichleadsto the directorgettingmore attentionandincome frompeoplewatchingthe
documentary.
I personallythinkthatwe shouldnotbelieve everythingwe see andreadtoday,asa lot of contentin
our age is fake,fromnewstofacts and quotes.Thisisbecause peoplehave the powerof the
internetandeditingprogramsattheirfingertips.Itmeansthattheycan easilychange manipulate
and change contentlike manipulatinganimage usingAdobe Photoshop.Alsobecause of the
internetfake newscanbe passedaroundveryeasilywithsocial networkingsite such asFacebook,
where thingscanbe sharedto thousandsof otherpeople all overthe world.One reasonwhyI
believepeople shouldn'tbelieveeverythingtheyread,inthe news'case isbecause the newscan
easilymanipulate andchange contenttotheirliking tosupportgroupsthatpay themto write good
thingsaboutthemand promote them,suchas political parties.Alsothe newsare more likelyto
change a storyto make it soundmore interestingsothatyouare more likelytoreadit.The newsare
more likely totryand swaypeople'sopinionsoncertainmatters,bychangingastory or addingfake
news.
It ishard to make sure what a documentarypresentsasa fact,is true as we were notthere.
However,we couldeasilydoresearchonthe matterto findoutmore fromothersourcesand the
people involvedinthe documentary. Thiswouldhelpusfindoutif the documentaryisvalidornot,
that isif the sourceswere we locate the informationfromisalsovalid.One wayinwhichwe could
