Documenting a Research Grant Application Process between Japan and IndiaSteve McCarty
This keynote presentation opens a window into the process of applying for a research grant offered jointly by the governments of Japan and India. Research grant proposals should be recognized as a genre for publications of reference to younger scholars. A grant is not just fixed-term funding but rather a whole process of organizing researchers and a proposed vision that maps onto the procedures and conditions set by the agencies offering competitive grants. Dimensions addressed in this presentation and the Proceedings article include documentation and publications, the cultures involved, intercultural communication challenges, and definitions for the research topic of humanizing online educational experiences.
PDF slideshow with captions briefly explaining the charts and photos. The face-to-face presentation to Thai and Japanese university students and staff is particularly for a group visiting from Rangsit University near Bangkok, Thailand. The presenter is a Japan specialist teaching classes at Osaka Jogakuin University on Intercultural Communication and Bilingualism. The presentation briefly discusses what culture is, world cultures and values, and comparative culture, mentioning other countries including Japan, Thailand, and India. The main topic is American culture and multiculturalism. The U.S. is diverse and multicultural, so it is difficult to generalize about what American culture is, but some American traditions are presented along with cultural research findings. The presentation aims for objectivity as well as frankness, so readers may draw their own conclusions.
A goal for language learners is to function in plural languages according to their own needs and purposes. A bilingual perspective starts from that attainable goal. Learners in Japan tend to idealize L2 mastery or being bilingual, so it becomes other people's business. Monolingual teachers tell students by their example, "go where I have not gone," whereas a bilingual teacher says, "come to my state of functioning." This presentation thus details a paradigm shift from the predominant monolingual second language acquisition (SLA) paradigm to a developmental bilingual perspective.
Syncretism chapter in A Passion for JapanSteve McCarty
A short presentation at the University of Hyogo on the chapter "Discovering Japanese Fusion of Religions on the Pilgrimage Island of Shikoku" in the new book A Passion for Japan: A Collection of Personal Narratives. The pictures are supplemental to the chapter, showing both daily life and the syncretism of Asian religions that the presenter discovered.
Since 2004 the author has lectured for the Japanese government foreign aid agency to visiting officials and scholars, mostly from developing countries. This colorful, updated slideshow gives an idea of the topics and provides some details, such as factors for Japanese having the world's longest average healthy years of life.
Podcasting originated as a new form of audio broadcasting, but by 2006, issues of ease of use, proprietary technology, and finances slowed its momentum. Now podcasting is more popular than ever. This presentation therefore traces the author’s initial and current CALL podcasting projects, reconsidering the foundations and pedagogy of podcasting. The author's pioneer work in podcasting was thwarted when his Japancasting blog suddenly disappeared from both paid and free hosting sites 15+ years ago. Japancasting had received many international honors including an "Effective Practice" award from the Online Learning Consortium, particularly for English as a Foreign Language Student-Generated Content. Now the author is collaborating with educators in India to revive the podcasting channel as open educational resources for a broader audience including developing country learners. This illustrated slideshow provides details on the considerations involved, explanatory concepts, and conclusions.
Lifelong Learning and Retiring Retirement StereotypesSteve McCarty
This presentation introduces the notion of career tapering in semi-retirement, aiming for a balance like never before among work, societal activism, and free time activities. Whether citizens, sojourners, or immigrants, most employed residents of Japan (and elsewhere) will be unable or unwilling to retire. The natural desire to choose the terms of transitions, however, can run into customary age limits, around 65 for full-time and 70 to 75 for part-time employment in the case of Japanese higher education. Combined with stereotypical dismissiveness towards older people, a sudden loss of status can be vertiginous. Yet there is a great demand for the services that older language teachers in particular can perform in Japanese education, society, and academia internationally. This presentation illustrates how teaching duties can be gradually decreased and improved in quality, while the teacher remains at least as active outside of institutions. Many suggestions are offered: how to have a better quality of life than ever, contributing valuable services where needed, and enjoying more free time to create and curate. Lifelong learning can accord with lifelong interests.

Global Faculty Development for Online Language Education Steve McCarty
Distinguished Speaker presentation at the International Webinar held on October 1, 2020 in New Delhi by the School of Foreign Languages, Indira Gandhi National Open University. This presentation shows how global faculty development represents surprisingly specific actions to bring educators and university faculties up to global academic standards. We could be heroes with online presence and achievements that bring individual recognition and higher global rankings. In the current world situation, teaching online is suddenly universal, and lifestyles will continue largely online. For language teachers, the presentation will consider many educational technologies, whether needing high data processing or preferably low bandwidth, and useful for teachers as well as students.
Online Education as an Academic DisciplineSteve McCarty

Symposium on Utilizing Emerging Technologies and Social Media to Enhance EFL ...Steve McCarty
This symposium presentation at the International Association of Applied Linguistics AILA 2014 World Congress in Brisbane, Australia examines the impact and potential of communication technologies in learning EFL. Case studies focusing on higher education in Japan show how mobile technologies and social media could improve language acquisition in Asian EFL contexts and beyond. Teaching with sound pedagogies and communication technologies, accessed by computers and hand-held devices, can bring about better outcomes through ubiquitous language learning. Impacts can span from better language comprehension to active involvement in learning communities generated in cyberspace. This symposium will thus detail how these emerging technologies are utilized to reform EFL classroom practices. The international presenters, based at five different universities, will theoretically and practically examine factors for successful EFL learning with emerging technologies. M-learning can generate contexts for active learning with learners as agents and creators rather than spectators or recipients of knowledge. We will particularly examine a) how to implement m-learning in institutional settings, b) what makes learners willingly use mobile devices and become involved in social contexts they themselves generate, and c) how teachers can help learners with scaffolding to develop agency as individuals who voluntarily engage with the social context. Among the emerging technologies demonstrated are Social Media, such as Facebook and Twitter, media players like iPods, tablet computers like iPads, iBooks Author for interactive, illustrated, multimedia artifacts that students can also create, and blended e-learning using a content management system and smart phones for m-learning. These studies will shed light on motivational attitudes towards these technologies for language learning, and measure how these tools have impacted L2 acquisition. This slideshow combining the five presentations in the symposium was lost after AILA failed to post it as promised, then rediscovered after five years.
Thailand 2019 Workshop on e-Learning and Mobile Language LearningSteve McCarty
Workshop at the International Conference on Humanities and Social Sciences, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand, on May 3, 2019. The keynote address by the presenter is also here on Slideshare. This two-hour hands-on workshop in a computer lab starts with a history of e-learning and a method of placing mobile learning in historical, cultural, and disciplinary contexts. Another original formulation is (four) Levels of Involvement with ICT (or other technologies). Participants are shown how to set up a free Google Scholar Citations Profile and e-Portfolio, with other suggestions for Web presence and academic networking. A number of mobile language learning apps are introduced, with particular reference to the Southeast Asian setting.
Opening keynote address on "Disruptive Technology and the Calling of Humanities and Social Sciences" at the 11th International Conference on Humanities and Social Sciences, at Prince of Songkla University in Hat Yai, Thailand on 2 May 2019. The conference theme is Global Digital Society: Impacts on Humanities and Social Sciences. The topic of disruptive technology and our calling could not be more suitable for someone who works on international faculty development by leading the World Association for Online Education since 1998. At the same time, the author has worked for the impact to go the other way, from the Humanities and Social Sciences to new technologies, which tend to be rudderless or even dangerous unless guided by ethics, and, in education, pedagogy. In collaboration with Prof. Gráinne Conole (National Institute for Digital Learning, Dublin City University, Ireland), the presentation includes a history of e-learning.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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
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.

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.
