The document summarizes chapters 11 and 12 about factivity, implication, modality, attitudinal predicates, enabling and preventing predicates, and perceptual predicates. Chapter 11 discusses factive predicates that presuppose the truth of embedded predications, implicative predicates that imply the truth or non-truth of embedded sentences, and deontic and epistemic modality concerning obligation and possibility. Chapter 12 covers attitudinal predicates expressing mental states about past and future experiences, enabling and preventing predicates concerning permission and prohibition, and sensory verbs expressing the five senses.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
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.
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

Last group presentation factivity, implication, modality and a variety of predicates
1. Chapter 11 & 12
*Factivity, Implication and Modality
*A Variety of Predicates
Presented by
Aef Sugihartony
Chandra Usmawan
2. The Scope of Presentation
11.1 Factivity
11.2 Implicative Predicates
11.3 Modality
12.1 Attitudinal Predicates
12.2 Enabling and Preventing
12.3 Perceptual Predicates
3. 11.1 Factivity
A factive predicate has a predication as one of its arguments
whether affirmative or negative, it presupposes the truth of
that predication.
Examples:
I regret/don’t regret that smoking can cause cancer.
>> Smoking can cause cancer.
I resent/don’t resent John’s decision.
>> John decided something.
4. The predicates regret and resent are factive. Whether
affirmative or negative, they present the following
predication as true.
NOTE: factive is not the same as ‘factual.’
Whether the predication is true or not can only be determined
by investigating events and situations outside language;
‘factive’ means that the predication is presented
linguistically as being true.
5. 11.2 Implication
Other predicates accompanied by embedded sentences,
always in reduced form, are implicative predicates. They
imply the truth or non-truth of what is stated in the
embedded sentence.
6. Examples of Implicative predicates
I managed to catch my bus.
® I caught my bus.
I didn’t manage to catch my bus.
® I didn’t catch my bus.
We chanced to see your brother.
® We saw your brother.
He chose to wait for us.
® He waited for us.
She remembered to stop at the post office.
® She stopped at the post office.
We didn’t happen to see your brother.
® We didn’t see your brother.
7. 11.3 Modality
Modality has to do with two kinds of necessity, obligation or
possibility/probability.
Deontic modality has to do with obligation (the necessity of
action or non-action)
Epistemic modality is concerned with possibility (the
necessity of existence or non-existence)
8. Examples of Deontic modality:
a. We must leave immediately.
b. We should leave immediately.
c. We have to leave immediately. We have got to leave
immediately.
d. We need to leave immediately.
e. We ought to leave immediately.
Examples of Epistemic modality:
a. Driving in a heavy rainstorm can be dangerous.
b. Driving in a heavy rainstorm may be dangerous.
c. Driving in a heavy rainstorm might be dangerous.
d. Driving in a heavy rainstorm must be dangerous.
9. 12.1 Attitudinal Predicates

12. 12.2 Enabling and Preventing
Predicates
An enabling predicate is a verb or which tells that the following
predication is made possible.
3 types of such a predicate can be recognized as follows:
a. Use of Authority:

The President authorizes the Police to guard the nation.
The Customs Office has permitted that company to run the
business
13. b. Effort or Action:
Mary helped his mother to clean the house.
The police assist the President to pass the streets.
c. Instruction:
Marco trained his dog to roll over.
The teacher instructs the students to turn in their
assignment before this Sunday.
The parents teach their children to eat by using spoon.
14. A preventing predicate is a verb which states that an agent
causes the non-occurrence of the predication.
The types of such a predicate are stated as follows:
a. Use of Authority:
The Boss forbade the secretary to leave the meeting.
The law prohibits civil society to do illegal logging.
b. Effort:
The parents keep their children from leaving the house.
The goalkeeper blocked his shot from scoring a goal.
15. c. Speech:
The teacher discouraged John from entering the contest
Mark inhibits his wife from spending a lot of money.
d. Protection:
The police protect the money from being stolen.
The shield defends the guards from attack.
e. Self-Prevention:
Susan is abstaining from smoking these days.
Carlo avoids eating a lot of sugar.
16. 12.3 Perceptual Predicates
They are also called ‘sensory verbs,’because they express the sensations that the people receive from outside
stimuli through their five senses.
Most of the basic English ones are illustrated in these fifteen key sentences
(Viberg 1983:123–6).
22a We saw some penguins. (Visual)
22b We looked at the penguins (with considerable interest).
22c The penguins looked strange (to us).
23a Alice heard a funny song. (Auditory)
23b Alice listened (intently) to the song.
23c The song sounded awful (to Alice).
24a Ted tasted onion in the soup. (Gustatory)
24b Ted tasted the soup (cautiously).
24c The soup tasted good (to Ted).
25a I felt a sharp pain. (Tactile)
25b I felt the table top (carefully).
25c The table felt rough (to me).
26a Mama smelled smoke. (Olfactory)
26b Mama smelled the soup (suspiciously).
26c The soup smelled rather odd (to Mama).
17. 22a We saw some penguins.
23a Alice heard a funny song.
24a Ted tasted onion in the soup.
25a I felt a sharp pain.
26a Mama smelled smoke.
In the (a) sentences, the verb expresses the particular sense through which the experience
comes.
22b We looked at the penguins (with considerable interest).
23b Alice listened (intently) to the song.
24b Ted tasted the soup (cautiously).
25b I felt the table top (carefully).
26b Mama smelled the soup (suspiciously).
In the (b) sentences, the verb is expressed more seriously with a further response.
22c The penguins looked strange (to us).
23c The song sounded awful (to Alice).
24c The soup tasted good (to Ted).
25c The table felt rough (to me).
26c The soup smelled rather odd (to Mama).
In the (c) sentences, the verb has created the perception to the actor.
18. In English, Sensory verbs can be expressed in an infinitive
clause without to, and in a gerund clause.
The difference is especially clear when the verb of the clause
indicates a repeatable act:
I saw a light flash/I saw a light flashing.
I heard a dog bark/I heard a dog barking.
The infinitive clause can be interpreted as information that the
light flashed just once and there was a single bark from the
dog.
The gerund clause tells of repetitive events.
19. Thanks for your attention
May
God Bless all of us forever !!
