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.

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.

2. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
ANEES JUNG
– Indian Author, journalist and columnist for newspaper in India and abroad
– Born- Rourkela
– Education- Osmania University, University of Michigan
– Most noted work – Unveiling India
– It depicts Muslim women behind the purdah
– “Lost Spring” talks about the children being forced to a life of poverty and
exploitation
3. WHAT’S UP WITH THE TITLE?
– Spring is the symbol of joy, happiness, beauty and hope.
– Childhood can be called the spring of a man’s life.
– The title is a metaphor used for the loss of childhood of the millions of child-
labours in India.
– The title has a tinge of irony
– Children are the source of joy and happiness but ironically millions of children
like Saheb and Mukesh experience no spring in their lives for their childhood is
consumed in making a living. Through the poverty of Mukesh and Saheb we
come to know about their stolen childhood
4. EXPLANATION
– The author’s encounter with a boy named Saheb-e-Alam who visits the nearby
garbage dump and look for valuables.
– The boy tells her that he has left his home in
Bangladesh long ago and does not have many
memories of it.
– Their fields and homes had been swept away by storms. They had come to the
big city to look for “gold”.
5. – The author asked him why he does the work of rag picking to which he replies
that he has nothing to do.
– The author advises him to go to school
but the boy says that there was no
school in his neighbourhood.
– The author asks whether he would like to come to school if she opens one to
which the boy says he would definitely come
6. – His name Saheb-e-Alam meaning the Lord of the Universe is ironic.
– The author sees him roaming with other ragpickers. All of them are barefoot
while few of them are wearing different shoe in both feet
– Some say that their mother has not given them shoes , some say that they don’t
like to wear shoes while the others say that they have a tradition of not wearing
the shoes
7. – The author feels that not wearing shoes is not a tradition but a way to hide their grinding poverty
that had gripped them
8. – One winter morning the writer saw Saheb standing by the fence of a club. He
was watching a tennis game being played by two young men. Saheb liked the
game but could not play it. He told the writer that he went inside the club when
it would be closed. He was allowed to take swings by the guard there.
– The writer saw that Saheb was also wearing tennis shoes. They did not look
appropriate with his dress which was worn out and had faded. She figured out
that he had got them from a garbage dump. Although due to the garbage
dump, Saheb’s dream of wearing shoes had been partially fulfilled but his desire
to play tennis would never be fulfilled.
9. – One morning the writer met Saheb who was on his way to the milk booth. He
was holding a steel container. He told her that he had got a job at the nearby tea
stall. He
would earn eight hundred rupees
a month and get meals too.
10. STORY 2- I want to drive a car
– The writer met a boy named Mukesh who aspired to become a motor mechanic. “Do you know
anything about cars?” she asked.
– “I will learn to drive a car,” he answers, looking straight into her eyes.
11. – Mukesh’s family was involved in the profession of glass bangle – making. They
did not know that it was unlawful to force children to work in such glass
furnaces. The work places were hot, dark closed rooms without ventilation. They
often ended up losing their eyesight also.
12. – Mukesh was happy as he took the writer to his home. The house where Mukesh lived
was partially constructed hut.
– As Mukesh’s father entered the house, the daughter-in-law hid behind the wall and
covered her face behind her veil. It was a tradition for the daughters-in-law to hide
their face in the presence of the older male members of the family.
– Mukesh’s grandmother said that her son was destined to make bangles as it had
been their family profession. She had seen her husband become blind due to the dust
from polishing the glass bangles. She said that their family had got this art of bangle
making from God and so they had to carry on the tradition.
– They were born in a particular caste which had to follow the profession of bangle
making. All their life they had just seen these glass bangles.
13. – There was a young girl by the name of Savita. She was sitting with an elderly
woman and they were joining pieces of glass to make bangles. The writer
wondered if Savita knew that the bangles were a good omen for a woman’s
wifehood.
– The writer suggests them to form a cooperative. She talked to a group of young
men to get out of the clutches of the cruel middlemen who had trapped their
elders. The men said that if they dared to do something like that, they would be
dragged and beaten up by the police and sent to jail.
–
14. – The writer felt that as they had no leader, they could not think of doing things
differently.
– The writer envisioned that there were two separate worlds – one was of such
families who were stuck in poverty and the pressure of doing the traditional
profession according to the caste in which they were born. The other world is a
never-ending cycle of moneylenders, middlemen, policemen, law keepers,
government officials and politicians. Both of these worlds had forced the young
boys to follow the family traditions.
15. – Mukesh repeated that he would be a motor mechanic. He wanted to go to a
garage and learn the job. The writer asked that as the garage was at a distance
from his home, Mukesh insisted that he would walk up to it. The author asked
him if he dreamt
of flying planes. As not many planes flew
over Firozabad and he had only seen cars
moving around in Firozabad, his dreams
were restricted up to them.
16. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
1) How does “Lost Spring’’ explain the grinding poverty and traditions that
condemn thousands of people to a life of abject poverty?
2) “The bangle sellers of Firozabad make beautiful bangles which make everyone
happy. But they live and die in squalor”. Elucidate.
3) How is garbage “gold” to the rag pickers?
