1) The document analyzes shots from a film, noting how lighting, camera angles, and mise-en-scene elements are used to convey meaning and foreshadow future events.
2) Key elements that foreshadow danger and a sense of being trapped include shadows, locks on doors, bars on windows, and compositions that place characters in darker areas or behind barriers.
3) Shots of the daughter use lighting and expressions to portray her innocence and optimism in contrast to the threats that are anticipated both inside and outside the home.

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.

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.
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
2. The film starts with the titles across the city. The contrast of the bright sunlit
skyscrapers juxtaposes to the atmospheric music. Although the city seems full of
sunlight and hope the music seems to put the viewers on edge and make them pre-
empt something bad is going happen soon and in this city. Also the shadows cast by
the buildings show that darkness exists in the here.
3. This is a wide shot and the character they are focused on in this frame is the estate agent
as shown by the lighting he is the silhouetted man in the doorway.
The shadow in the doorway foreshadows the villains in the film breaking into the house. It
also subconsciously makes the viewers anticipate fear in the sense that the house is
dangerous. The amount of locks on the door gives the audience a hint that this house is
not safe and that the last person who lived in the house felt a threat from danger. The
locks on the door could also hint that the last person who lived there was trying to protect
something precious from anyone who wished to take it. Portraying the estate agent in this
lighting shows that he is not going to be a nice character in the film and could hint to him
having a part in the danger they will face.
4. The wide shot of the mother shows that she is worried about the new move and the fact
that her and her daughter are moving to a new place and the fact that her daughter has
been moved away from her town and her father and everything she has known. The sun
shining at the end of the street shows that there will hope later on and this could
foreshadow the mother and daughter being saved by the police and the father later on in
the story.
5. This wide shot through the banisters in the stairs symbolises that they are trapped in
the house, this could not only be from internal threats but also the people that seek to
harm them from the outside world. This could also show that the young girl does not
want to move to a new house and therefore feels trapped away from her old life. The
mis en scene of having the little girl riding a scooter shows that she is innocent and
young and she does not know the possible dangers that she could face/ is going to face
in her new home.
6. The bars on the windows show that they trapped similarly to the wide shot of the
bannisters, it shows that the person who last lived there was trying very hard to
keep someone or something out. The fact that the man showing the house is
blocking the light and light is a symbol of hope in this film as the daughter uses a
torch to get the neighbours attention, this shows that he is portrayed a villainous
character in this film.
7. This wide shot foreshadows the later scene as the daughter is the one that ‘sees the light’
and uses the torch to get the attention of the neighbours so they will call the police. It is also
symbolises that the mother is in the darker part of the room as she knows the dangers in the
world and what it is like as an adult, where as her daughter gases out the window towards
the light in a hopeful manner, showing that she wants and believes things to/will improve. In
this image the mother is placed in the third, the rule of third is to show that the mum is the
subject here and this therefore shows her authority over her daughter. Another reason that
the director may have made the daughter smaller in this image is because she is less
significant and her opinion is less valued in decision making and she therefore had no say in
the fact that they were moving.
8. This medium shot shows that the daughter is more optimistic and she looks on
the bright side of life as she is still a child and therefore very naïve and she
therefore is in denial about moving away and doesn’t want to face up to her
feelings of being taken away from everything she knows and loves.
9. This close up mid shot shows the clear expression of fear and intrigue. The
reflection of the other houses through the window shows that she is focusing on
things outside of the house, this means that she feels tapped. She is mostly in the
third meaning that she is the focal point of this shot. Her yellow t-shirt and her
black jacket covering it, could foreshadow that she is innocent but she is about to
learn what dangers lurk in the real world. Her innocence could also be
highlighted by the brighter lighting the director has used to highlight her face and
also her naïve optimism.
10. This wide shot focuses on the mum as she is the subject and has been placed in the
third and the lighting although darker is centred around the mother. The house is
painted in plain and boring colours and contains no personal objects which doesn’t give
it the warm and homey feelings that most homes do, there has been no trace of life left
in the house, this could suggest that there has been some sort of death or accident
here.
