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.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
1. Introduction to the Romantic
Age of English Literature
A Presentation for English 2323
Prepared by Dr. Brenda Cornell
2. Definition
Contrary to what you may
think, the term Romanticism is
not just about romantic love
(although love is sometimes
the subject of romantic art).
Romanticism is an
international artistic and
philosophical movement that
re-defined the ways in which
humans in Western civilization
thought about themselves and
their world.
3. Historical Considerations
English Literary History
Dates:
English Literary History begins the
Romantic Period officially in 1798, with the
publication of Lyrical Ballads by
Wordsworth and Coleridge, and ends it in
1832, with the deaths of Sir Walter Scott
and the German Romantic poet, Goethe.
4. Romanticism as an International
Movement
Affected all of the arts (literature, music,
painting, philosophy)
Began in the 1770s and extended through
the second half of the 19th century (1870).
5. “The Age of Revolutions”
Since the early Romantic period includes the
American (1776) and the French (1789)
revolutions, it has been called the “age of
revolutions” (changes). It was a time of massive
energy (intellectual, social, artistic). It set out to
transform not only the theory and practice of all
art, but also the ways in which human beings
perceived the world. Some of its ideas survive
even to our present day.
6. The Role of Imagination
Imagination now replaced reason as
the supreme faculty of the mind—hence
the flowering of creative activity in this
period. For Romantic thinkers, the
imagination was the ultimate “shaping,”
or creative power, the approximate
human equivalent to divine creative
powers.
As the poet Wordsworth would
suggest, humans not only perceive
and experience the world around them;
they also, in part, create it. The
imagination unites reason and feeling,
enabling humans to reconcile
differences and opposites—this
reconciliation is a central ideal for
Romantics. Finally, the imagination
enables humans to “read “ nature as a
system of symbols.
8. Celebration of Nature
Nature often presented as a work of art
from the divine imagination
Nature as a healing power
Nature as a refuge from civilization
Nature viewed as “organic,” (alive) rather
than “mechanical” or “rationalist”
Nature viewed as a source of refreshment
and meditation
9. Symbolism and Myth
Valued as the human means for imitating
nature in art
Could simultaneously suggest many things
in a creative way
Based on a desire to “express the
inexpressible” through the resources of
language
10. Emotion, Lyric Poetry, and the Self
Greater emphasis on the importance of intuition,
instincts, and feelings
Wordsworth’s definition of good poetry as “the
spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” was
a turning point in literary history.
Ultimate source of poetry found in the individual
artist and his/her traditions (present and past)
11. Value of Art
Source of illumination of the world within the
self
Led to a prominence for first-person lyric poetry;
the “speaker” became less a persona and more
the direct person of the poet. Ex. Wordsworth’s
Prelude and Whitman’s “Song of Myself”
Also a wealth of autobiographical verse
described as poetry about someone else: Byron,
Childe Harold
12. Contrasts with Neoclassicism (the
Age of Reason)
Shift in focus from rationalism to the
imagination
Shift toward a more expressive orientation
toward the literary art
Freedom of expression
Freedom of the individual
13. Individualism
Summed up in opening statement of
Rousseau’s Confessions :
“I am not made like anyone I have seen; I
dare believe that I am not made like
anyone in existence. If I am not superior,
at least I am different.”
14. The Romantic Hero
As the Romantic writers
show us, our heroes were
not always cowboys:
1. The hero as artist
2. The hero striving
beyond the moral
restrictions of society
3. The hero who
reappears from the ancient
classics
15. The Everyday and the Exotic
Romantic writers embraced everyday
realism (poetry of Wordsworth)
Also sought the folk legends of the past
Promoted exotic ideas suggested by
technology and the imagination (a
beautiful soul in an ugly body, as in Mary
Shelley’s Frankenstein or Victor Hugo’s
The Hunchback of Notre Dame).
16. The Romantic Artist in Society
The Romantics were
often ambivalent toward
the “outside” world. On
the one hand, they were
socially and politically
passionate—involved in
worthy causes and social
issues. On the other
hand, they isolated
themselves from the
public.
17. Spread of the Romantic Spirit
All of the arts—from music, to painting;
from sculpture to architecture—were
affected by and continue to be affected by
the revolutionary energy underlying the
Romantic movement. Strains of
Romanticism infuse every age and every
generation.
