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.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

MS1 Summer 2011 Exam Exemplar, Grade A (Level 4) Response (38/40)
Intertextuality is apparent in both covers through their use of famous actors and ‘personalities’ Clint
Eastwood and Michael Caine. Both of these men are viewed as iconic male role models and on their
own act as a selling point of the magazine. Despite the younger demographic of GQ, perhaps males
in their 20s to 30s, Eastwood’s picture is barely airbrushed; instead his greying hair and wrinkles,
both signifiers of old age, are presented proudly and connote an ideology of old age and wisdom ,
respect and accomplishment. This is also apparent in SAGA magazine cover, in which the same
ideology has been adopted, however perhaps with different reasoning behind it, as SAGA’s
demographic is generally older and mixed gender, compared to that of GQ.
3. The colour scheme of GQ is fairly simplistic, adopting a mainly red, white and blue theme. This subtle
acknowledgement to the American/British flag connotes masculinity and implies the demographic
for which GQ is intended. SAGA magazine also adopts a three tone colour scheme; however this is
more gender neutral, which is perhaps a reflection of its audience. As SAGA is a UK based magazine,
the black, white and red theme is almost representative of that of the British broadsheet
newspapers, ascertaining a prestige which the magazine adheres to.
Both men on the front covers are, although understated in their clothing, are styled, with GQ’s
Eastwood in denim, a nod to his film paradigms, and a match to the colour scheme. Michael Caine’s
clothing is also connoting that of one of his famous acting roles in the Batman franchise. This would
have been a deliberate decision as the intertextuality established by his inclusion, is reinforced. The
lack of airbrushing defies the hegemonic norm of youth and success it carries but instead promotes
older age as a positive, rather than the negative representation it usually receives.
Both magazines use a mid-shot as the covers focal point, with the use of writing to frame the central
image. Both men are ‘gazing’ into the camera lens which acts as a direct mode of addresses, drawing
in the audience. This is especially important as research has shown that direct eye contact positively
correlates the sale of the magazines as audiences feel personalised. Neither Caine nor Eastwood are
smiling, their expression however implying ‘thought’ and therefore wisdom, a connotation of older
age.
SAGA magazine combine the use of both ‘serif’ for Caine’s quote, reinforcing his prestige and
formality, with ‘san serif’ text for all other cover text, proving structured, easier to read typography
for its readership. Whilst SAGA’s use of san serif text is predominant, GQ uses san serif entirely,
appealing to that of its younger, more modern and technologically savvy demographic. The amount
of text on the GQ cover is high, implying a full and busy magazine, ranging in content, which its
audience would find appealing. SAGA is more minimalistic with the majority of the text in the lower
half of the page so as not to distract from the central figure of ‘Caine’.
The language used in both magazines reflects their demographic and creates a strong mode of
address. Both magazines use demographically suited ‘famous names’ for example chef ‘Delia Smith’
who indicates the gender neutral readership of SAGA. Barrack Obama for example is among the
names on GQ. The readers of GQ are more comfortable with technology, so intertextual references,
such as ‘twitter’ for examples would appeal to demographical interests.
In general, GQ is less formal and patriarchal colloquialisms such as ‘bros’, ‘guys’ and ‘badass’ are
used to create a ‘one of the boys’ tone and mode of address.
GQ’s use of sensationalism and male paradigmic interest, CARS! FOOD! GADGETS! reinforced with
capitalisation, grabs the attention of the audience, the subjects used allows for identification. Both
magazines employ personal pronouns, for example ‘our’ and ‘your’ to allow for audience relation
and identification. GQ’s tagline ‘Look sharp. Live smart’ uses alliteration and stereotypical male
descriptive connotations to sum up the magazine and in turn its audience.
To conclude both magazines address their demographic and respond to their needs and wants
through the use of iconography and celebrity endorsement, they also employ intertextuality
throughout to secure understanding and association.
4. 2a) A first audience for GQ magazine would be its intended demographic of 20-30 years of age, male
professionals, who could also be referred to as ‘achievers’. The ‘sharp, smart’ tagline would be
identifiable to them and the use of endorsements and content anchorage would no doubt appeal to
them.
A second audience could be fans of actor ‘Clint Eastwood’. Intertextuality would enable a fan base of
Eastwood, who would buy the magazine solely due to his endorsement and involvement. These
audience members may be referred to as ‘aspirers’ as they respect and aspire to be like their idol.
