The phoneme can be defined as "the smallest contrastive linguistic unit which may bring about a change of meaning" (Gimson, A.C. (2008), Cruttenden, A., ed., The Pronunciation of English (7 ed.)). This definition can be clarified by a practice called minimal pair which is listing pairs of words which are different in meaning and phonologically distinct only in one phonological element.
Minimal pair can be illustrated in the following examples:
The words "pin" /pɪn/ and "pan" /pæn/ are different only in their middle sounds i.e. /ɪ/ & /æ/. Therefore the sounds /ɪ/ & /æ/ are considered to be different phonemes.
The words "pill" /pɪl/ and "bill" /bɪl/ are different only in their initial sounds i.e. /p/ & /b/. Therefore the sounds /p/ & /b/ are considered to be different phonemes.
An allophone, on the other hand, is one of a set of multiple possible spoken sounds (or phones) used to pronounce a single phoneme. It can be considered to be variations of a phoneme and doesn't change the meaning of a word.
e.g. the phoneme /p/ in the word "pill" /pɪl/ can be aspirated [pʰɪl ]. So the aspirated [pʰ] is considered to be the allophone of the phoneme /p/

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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

2. Introduction
You can easily read and spell when you are
familiar with letter sounds.
Do you have these challenges?
1) Slow down when you have bigger words
2) Say out a big word when you spell
3) Confused between letter sounds, such as
'en' or 'on' , 'ir' or 'er', 'tion' or 'sion', when
you spell
This topic will help you avoid these
problems.
3. Letter Sounds
To be effective in reading and spelling, letter
sounds must be mastered.
Letter sounds are called Phonemes.
A Phoneme is the smallest sound unit
produced when you read a word.
These words all have 3 sounds.
'cat' - /c/ /a/ /t/
'tad' - /t/ /a/ /d/
'con' - /c/ /o/ /n/
4. Phonemes
In English, there is a total of 44 phonemes
from 26 alphabets – 5 vowels and 21
consonants.
5 vowels – 20 phonemes
21 consonants – 24 phonemes
They represent 95% of how words are spelt
and read.
The rest of the words must be memorised.
These words are called Sight Words.
5. Sight Words
Sight Words are words that you recognise
immediately as it is commonly used.
They don't need you to know phonemes.
yacht 6) like
eye 7) there
why 8) yes
this 9) boy

6. Phonemes and Graphemes
If phonemes are letter sounds, graphemes are
letters representing these sounds.
Example: 'cat' has /c/ , /a/ , /t/ phonemes
shown by the graphemes 'c' , 'a' , 't'.
Sounds of music are shown by the notes too.

/h/ , /o/ , /t/ 10) /h/ , /i/ , /m/
What are the words you can make from each
question?
8. Vowel Phonemes
5 vowels can create 20 different phonemes or
letter sounds
For example, for the letter 'a', these are the
usual 6 different phonemes:
/a/ nt ban /a/ na sw /a/ n
b /a/ by zebr /a/ b /a/ ll
9. Learning Activity 2
Read each phoneme /a/ produced by the
grapheme 'a' in each word one-by-one.
You must be able to read all the vowel
phonemes correctly.
1) /a/ nt (short sound) 4) zebr /a/
(short)
2) b /a/ by (high and low) 5) sw /a/ n
(short)
3) ban /a/ na (long) 6)b /a/ ll (long)
10. Short Monophthong
All vowel phonemes are voiced the similarly.
Air goes through our vocal cords without
blocking.
Short Monophthong is the fastest and shortest
sound.
11. Learning Activity 3
Read and hear the sounds of these SMs :
/a/nt 5) b/i/n
/a/pple 6) fr/o/g
b/e/d 7) p/u/ll
li/o/n 8) b/u/s
Write the SMs from the Vowel Phoneme Chart in
your Learning Guide Primary 1A in Page 9.
13. In Summary
Phonemes are letter sounds or sounds made
by letter/s.
Graphemes are the letters representing the
sounds. For example, for phoneme /f/,
/ph/ is another grapheme for the same
phoneme.
Being familiar with phonemes will help us
greatly in spelling and reading.
With this knowledge, we know the right
grapheme when spelling and we know the
right phoneme when reading.
