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.

2. Outlines around secondary
images and cover stories
separates them from other
stories and causes them to
appear bold and important.
Masthead ‘informs’ (Katz) the
audience what the magazine is.
The non-verbal code of colour red
is associated with love, passion,
and energy so therefore connotes a
loud magazine, reinforced through
use of exclamation marks
throughout the front cover, and
suggest a love and passion for TV.
Main Headline, bright
yellow with black stroke
causes it to stand out. The
capitalization of the verbal
code ‘KIDNAPS’ signifies it’s
importance and the word
connotes danger and crime.
Use of the verbal code
punctuation to sensationalize the
story and reinforce the sense of
danger.
Use of puffs is eye catching,
draws focus to the content
of the puff.
Date of issue Blue background
(consistently used in front
covers of ‘What’s on TV)
connotes stability, and is
effective in creating a
vibrant design.
Man in background in the non-
verbal code of mise-en-scene
black costume has the
connotation of bad/evil
intentions.
The non-verbal code of mise-
en-scene facial expression
suggests happiness, baby is
obviously comfortable with
woman so contrasts the main
headline, further suggesting
Phil’s negative intentions
through his dissatisfied facial
expression and the verbal code
puff text ‘Phil’s custody
victory!’ which suggests that he
is the antagonist.
Bold text with stroke
stands out, the
capitalisation of the
verbal code ‘EVIL PLAN’
highlights the words
significance and the
language suggests drama
and an antagonist.
Shows logos and text used to inform the audience on the content of the magazine.
The inclusion of a certain show could attract certain readers to buy the magazine.
Main image has no background
so heads appear in front of the
mast head causing it to stand
out, which is reinforced by the
outer glow effect used on the
image casing it to further stand
out against the magazines blue
background, which causes the
image to appear as the most
important image on the front
cover.
Secondary images appear in front
of the main image, framing it, with
a rounded edge bubble effect
causing them to appear attractive,
informal, and eye-catching. As
they appear in front of the main
image they stand out so would
could easily catch the eye of an
audience.
3. The strapline gives the
audience an idea of what the
magazine includes, The verbal
code of “every secret every
story every week” connotes
that there is a large range of
content as the buzz word
“every” connotes the
inclusion of all topics. The
word secret attracts an
audience as people love
gossip and being nosey so
people will pick up the
magazine to see what the
secrets are. The use of the
rule of three creates a
progression causing words to
appear important. The bright
blue, yellow, and white are
eye-catching so would attract
an audience. The colour
yellow is associated with
happiness, blue with stability,
and white with coolness so
these colours together
connote that the magazine is
happy, clean, and constant
which reinforces the verbal
codes of the strapline.

Masthead tells the audience what the
magazine is. The non-verbal code of colour
red is associated with love, passion, and
energy so therefore connotes a loud
magazine, reinforced through use of
exclamation marks throughout the front
cover, and suggest a love and passion for
TV. The white stroke and drop shadow used
causes it to stand out and appear bold while
the san-serif font connotes a casual friendly
feeling to the audience.
Bright whites and reds used, are very
bold and eye catching. The red could
connote passion and anger and grabs
the attention of the reader.
“Revenge!” in the main headline
connotes some form of crime or
something evil which Tanya is
going to do, as well as suggesting
that it is deserved of the person
she is going to hurt as they hurt
her first. The exclamation pint, as
seen in many other headlines
sensationalises the story so causes
everything to appear dramatic and
get attention from the reader,
encouraging them to pick it up and
read inside.
The puff used for this
promotion appears impactful
and therefore catches an
audiences eye.
Tanya’s facial expression of a smile contrasts the headline that goes with the main image, the baby held in her arms connotes innocence and vulnerability suggesting that her
“revenge” will be well deserved. The bald man stood behind her wearing dark clothing makes his presence seem dangerous and his moody almost sinister expression connotes
dangerous intentions. The smiling man on the other side contrasts this, his happiness and the positioning of the men on both sides could suggest an affair and connotes them to
be like the good and bad angel in binary opposition (Levi Strauss) to each other. This is further highlighted through the use of the verbal code “hell” suggesting the devil and the
verbal code “secret” may ‘signify’ an affair in a similar way to the main image.
4. Conclusion
and
In my magazine I would ‘repeat’ (Steve Neale – 1980) the use of bright colors and a bold
background color. I would also repeat the use of exclamation marks and language to
sensationalize the story. Another thing I would repeat the use of puff promotions and
secondary images and headlines as they are eye catching and attractive.
