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.

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

Introduction
When we think about the Civil Rights Movement, Martin
Luther King Jr. is the first thing that pops into our head.
As big of an impact Martin Luther King was, he did not do
everything alone. As it was shown in the movie Selma, he
had help along the way. One of his biggest helps was
one of his closest and dependable friends, Ralph
Abernathy. Just like Martin Luther King, he was also a
minister and a Civil Rights leader who contributed a lot to
the fight for equality.
Ralph Abernathy, 1968
Early Life and Education
He was born on March 11th
, 1926 around Linden, Alabama. He
attended Linden Academy for his high school. His family owned
a 500-acre farm in Marengo County. His father was a community
leader, serving as a head deacon for a local Baptist church and
he was the first black to be able to vote in the county. Ralph
Abernathy wanted to be in the ministry since he was young. He
said, “The preacher, after all, was the finest and most important
person around, someone who was accorded respect wherever
he went.” In 1944, Ralph Abernathy was drafted to the military.
Due to his rheumatic fever he caught while he was in Europe, he
returned home and attended Alabama State College. The GI Bill
paid for his education and he took advantage of the opportunity,
getting involved in student council and maintaining good grades.
He led boycotts around campus to improve the conditions of the
school. After he graduated Alabama State College, he attended
Atlanta College for a year to do his graduate and returned to
Alabama State College to get his dean of men. It was at Atlanta
University in a seminary class he met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

What Makes Them Notable
Like I said before, he was actively involved in college
organizations. At Alabama State College, he was president of
the Student Council and led various boycotts and protests
across campus to improve the on campus facilities. After his
years in college, he became a pastor at Montgomery’s First
Baptist Church by 1952. He was becoming a big name in the
community and soon became better friends with Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., establishing the dynamic duo. After Rosa
Parks got arrested, the organization of the Montgomery bus
boycott began. Dr. King led the boycott as Ralph Abernathy
was by his side. Despite King usually leading the organized
protest and overshadowing Abernathy’s work, Abernathy was
important in helping King. King had the philosophical ideas,
but Abernathy had the strategies and knew how to execute the
plans. Abernathy knew how to connect the lower and middle
class, unlike King, in a eloquent way. Him and King gained
success together, but at a price for danger. Both of their
houses were bombed and Abernathy was chased by a man
bearing weapons who claimed Abernathy slept with his wife.
Abernathy’s church was also bombed. When King moved to
Atlanta to be a pastor at his father’s church, Abernathy moved
him and his family to Atlanta as well to be a pastor at West
Hunter Street Baptist Church.

Legacy
Ralph Abernathy legacy was being King’s right hand man. He
was King’s closest friend and was always there by his side
from sitting next to him in a jail sail to being by him on his
deathbed. It was said Ralph Abernathy was the “few he could
rely on” and how King found “counsel, solace, and
perspective” with Abernathy around.
Ralph Abernathy Involvement
in Selma
Ralph was the pastor for the Selma Marches and was King’s right
hand man in leading it. He was vital to the movement and handled
huge responsibilities that King entrusted him with. One of them was
making an opening gambit- an appearance on Jan. 1 Emancipation
proclamation day in 1965.

Family Life
He married Juanita Odessa Jones on August 1952, and
despite their first child dying as an infant, they had four
others that grew to adulthood.
