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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. OBJECTIVES
To help you realize the place of
Writing in the process of learning a
language and the skills involved in it.
To make you aware of the different
strategies that may be used to
practice Writing.
3. Activity
They say that good listeners become
good speakers, and good readers
become good writers.
Explain how this works, how is this
possible and/or logical?
Think about a few specific things that you
could probably improve in your writing by
working on your reading. Ask around: your
classmates, teachers, tutors, other people.
4. Discuss the following:
Writing is a complex skill.
It involves many different aspects.
When you write in your own language you
are not always aware of all the things your
mind considers in order to produce a
piece of writing.
When you write in a different language
you have to make a conscious effort to
prepare, oversee and evaluate what you
are writing.
5. Activity
How many
different things
can you think of
that are involved
in producing a
piece of writing?
What are the CLEAR, FLUENT
AND EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION
aspects your OF IDEAS
mind considers
every time you
write
something?
6. Compare your answers and discuss:
SYNTAX CONTENT
Sentence structure, Relevance,
Sentence boundaries, Clarity
Stylistic choices, etc. Originality,
Logic, etc.
GRAMMAR
Rules for verbs, THE WRITER’S
Agreement, PROCESS
Articles, Getting ideas,
Pronouns, etc. Getting started,
Writing drafts,
CLEAR, FLUENT
MECHANICS Revising
AND EFFECTIVE
Handwriting, COMMUNICATION
Spelling, OF IDEAS AUDIENCE
Punctuation, etc. The reader(s)
ORGANIZATION
Paragraphs,
Topic and support, PURPOSE
WORD
Cohesion and unity The reason for writing
CHOICE
Vocabulary,
Idiom, tone
7. Think about this:
Ifthere are so many aspects to consider
how do we ever write anything?
We can write because we follow steps in a
process and we do it in stages.
Good writing is basically done following
three easy steps:
Pre-writing
Writing
Post-writing
8. The writing process
PRE-WRITING
Thinking Discussing Free-writing Gathering Organizing
WRITING
Organizing Writing Editing
POST-WRITING
Editing Proofreading
9. Activity
How many of these aspects in the three
basic steps do you already follow?
Which ones do you think you could
incorporate to your writing process next
time you write something?
Re-write something you had already
written, this time follow all the steps in the
process. Compare it to the previous text.
How are they different?
10. Think about this:
Nobody was born knowing how to write.
You have probably been writing in your
own language for a long time, and that still
does not guarantee that you are good at
writing.
People need practice to become good at
something: including writing.
One way to practice writing is to do writing
practice in stages.
11. Stages in writing practice
Think about they way you started
producing pieces of writing in your own
language, what were the first things that
you did? Then what? And now?
The stages go from:
Copying,
Controlled writing,
Guided writing, to
Free writing.
12. Activity:
To improve your writing skills practice
activities for each one of the four different
stages.
Little by little upgrade the level of difficulty
of the activities you use and practice,
practice, practice.
Next you will find some suggestions for
activities you can do for each stage.
