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.

2. The brain is:
› Mass of gray and white matter” in our heads “serving to
control and coordinate mental and physical actions
Mind is:
› the activity of the brain, person’s thought process.
In this class we are going to study the relation between the
brain and the language.
We will deal with both language production and
comprehension.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
3. Language is system of communication consists of a set of
sounds, grammar, or written symbol.
The relation between this set and the concepts is arbitrary.
Both the concepts and the unit stands for them are arbitrary.
Knowing language is to know the arbitrary relation and be
able to code and encode symbols according to it.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
5. In the last game there is a struggle between CONCEPTS
and language.
Your brain try to express the concepts, the other part try to
express the language.
The difficulty is because there are more than one context or
clue to enable you to express
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
7. What happen here is that there is no clear clue for making
concepts.
Whenever there is a clue it is easier.
The relationship between language and the brain depend on
this arbitrary relation between concepts and system of
symbols and sound and grammar.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
8. Most people used their right hand, foot, ear to hold things,
kick them or to listen carefully.
About 10 % of world population use their left side of their
body.
This is genetic, and it cannot be changed in childhood.
The reason for being left or right handed lies in the brain.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
9. The brain is divided into two vertical halves.
They seem like mirror images of one another.
Each part is called hemisphere.
The two hemisphere are connected with bundle of nerves
called corpus callosum..
There is a covering in each hemisphere called the cortex.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
10. • Divided into two
hemispheres: the left and
right hemispheres
• The hemispheres are
connected by bundle of
nerve fibers: the corpus
callosum
Left
hemi
Right

Front
Corpus
callosum
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
11. • Contralateral control:
Each hemisphere
controls opposite side of
body
• Left hemisphere
controls right side of
body
• Right hemisphere
controls left side of body
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
12. Close one eye.
Kick the leg of the chair.
Hold on of your ears.
Write your name with your left hand
Which eye do you close?
Which foot do you use to kick the chair leg?
Which hand do you use to hold your ear?
Which ear do you hold?
Did you write your name successfully?Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
13. Although the labour of the brain is divided between the two
hemispheres, normally one of the hemispheres have more
function than the other.
This is called the hemispheric dominance.
Usually the left hemisphere (which is responsible for lang.)
dominate the right one and do more tasks.
Most human use their right hands and right side of the body.
This means that their left hemisphere dominate their right
one.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
14. Some left handers are right hemispheric, (not necessary).
Left handers who are right hemispheric have language
problems, because of the struggle between the two
hemispheres.
Worldwide male left handers are more than females ones.
Attempts to change left handers children practice to be right
handers may cause problems.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
16. Speech sound are processed in the left hemisphere.
Other (non-speech) sound are processed in the right
hemisphere.
The opposite is true for most left handers.
For this, right handers perceive speech sound through their right
ear.
These facts were proved by using dichotic listening test.
When you listen through a barrier, e.g. a closed door, you lean
your right ear (if you are right hander).
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
17. Each hemisphere of the brain has special
functions to do.
This separation of functions is called
lateralization.
Language functions for 99% of right handers
are located in the left hemisphere.
It deals with language production,
comprehension, encoding and decoding.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
21. Speech production is generated in Wernicke’s area and sent
for Broca’s area for encoding.
Speech comprehension is received by the cortex near the
ear and moved to the Wernicke’s area.
Any defect on one of the areas will affect the linguistic ability
of the patient.
Language disorder (aphasias) are the results of the brain
damage
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
22. There are many areas identified as involved in the production
and comprehension of language.
The front part of the brain is involved in auditory function of
language.
The area next to the front is involved in the motor tasks of
language (writing and speaking).
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
23. These areas are important in language production.
They are located on the left (or the dominant) hemisphere of the
brain.
The upper part of the front area of the brain is called Broca’s
area. It is responsible for speech production.
The lower back part of the brain is Wernicke area called is
responsible for speech comprehension.
Both of the areas are connected with a bundle of nerve fibres.
Both of the them share all functions of language production and
comprehension.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
25. Named after the French pathologist and neurosurgeon Pierre
Paul Broca (1824 – 80) who discover the area.
He discovered that this area (in the front part of the brain)
which is involved in the production of speech.
He discovered another motor area which control the muscle
of articulators and lies next to Broca’s area and connected to
it.
The process of speech start in Broca’s area then transferred
to motor area to control speech production.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
26. Named after the German neurologist Carl Wernick (1848 – 1905).
He discovered this area to the back of the brain which is involved
in speech comprehension.
It is connected to Broca’s area by a bundle of nerves, that explain
why the processes of speech comprehension and production are
interrelated. According to Wernicke, the sound goes from ear to
the auditory area then to Wernicke’s area.
Wernick’s area is also involved in reading. The question is
whether it is important for someone to access the sound of the
word so as to understand its meaning?
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
27. There are other areas in the brain also contribute to language
knowledge and use.
These areas are include in paralinguistic and social aspects of
language (whispering, singing, reciting poetry, supplication ….etc.
Right hemisphere is involved in understanding discourse and
complete units, and putting ideas together into one unit.
Patients with problem in the right hemisphere have structuring
problem, disturbing speech and jumping form one topic to
another.
Abdulaziz Assanosi, azizsanosi@gmail.com
28. For the learning of second language, one needs to operate
his/her right hemisphere.
Many research studies find right hemisphere involvement in the
acquisition and use of right hemisphere of the brain.
Taking courses in using both hemispheres of the brain can be
useful for Second Language Learning.
Studies about lateralization of the brain are still going on and
many fact are unfolded yet.
Knowing about language and the brain can help in knowing much
about language disorder.
