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

25. ESL PEDEGOGY: METHODS
• Classical Method (drills, repetition, and translation)
• Direct Method (Maximilian Berlitz)
• Audiolingual Method
• Total Physical Response (TPR)
• Suggestopedia
• Community Language Learning
• The Silent Way
• The Natural Approach
• The structural approach
26. • The structural approach
• Immersion
• Task-based language learning
• The structural approach
• The Lexical Syllabus
• Communicative Language Teaching/Learning
• The Series Method
27. GRAMMAR–TRANSLATION METHOD
• derived from the classical (traditional) method of teaching Greek and Latin
• originated from the practice of teaching Latin
• Grammar rules are learned deductively
28. DIRECT METHOD
• Natural method
• contrasts with the grammar–translation method & Bilingual method of teaching
• focuses on the development of oral skills
• teaching vocabulary through real-life objects
• teaching grammar by using an inductive approach
• centrality of spoken language (including a native-like pronunciation)
• Maximilian Berlitz
29. BILINGUAL METHOD
• C.J. Dodson
• combination of the Direct method and the Grammar translation method
• counterpart of the audiovisual method
• presentation – practice – production.
30. AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD
• Army Method, or New Key
• based on behaviorist theory
• similar to the direct method
• teacher drilled students in the use of grammar
• direct opposition with communicative language teaching
• Repetition: the student repeats an utterance as soon as he hears it.
• Replacement: one word is replaced by another.
• it drew on the work of American linguists such as Leonard Bloomfield
31. • Dialogue is the main features of the audio lingual syllabus
• The theory emphasizes the listening-speaking-reading-writing order.
• the learner has little control over their learning
• Only language form is considered while meaning is neglected
• Equal importance is not given to all four skills.
• It is a teacher-dominated method.
32. TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR)
• developed by James Asher
• instructors give commands to students in the target language with body movements
• 3 HYPOTHESES
• first, that language is learned primarily by listening
• second, that language learning must engage the right hemisphere of the brain
• third, that learning language should not involve any stress.
33. SUGGESTOPEDIA
• developed by the Bulgarian psychotherapist Georgi Lozanov
• Desuggestopedia

• Teachers can remain silent when a student makes a mistake to give them time to
self-correct
• discovery learning
37. NATURAL APPROACH
• developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell
• make the learning environment as stress-free as possible
• comprehensible language input
• originally created in 1977 by Terrell
• Terrell worked with Krashen
• published 1983 book The Natural Approach
• Krashen's monitor model
38. FIVE HYPOTHESES IN KRASHAN’S MODEL
1. The acquisition-learning hypothesis.
2. The monitor hypothesis.
3. The input hypothesis. Comprehensible input "i+1".
4. The natural order hypothesis.
5. The affective filter hypothesis.
• Despite its basis in Krashen's theory, the natural approach does not adhere to the
theory strictly.
42. SECOND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT – 4
STAGES
• Pre – production (silent period)
• Early production (blabbering) (6 months)
• Speech emergence (not grammatically correct)
• Intermediate and advanced fluency – active vocabulary – they are trying – they fail
– they have doubts – ready to master
43. TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (TBLT)
• popularized by N. Prabhu while working in Bangalore, India
