Linguistically Responsive Teaching: Strategies to Support International Stude...LearningandTeaching
Margot Volem, M.Ed., Student Success Manager at the Global Student Success Program, presents key theories in second language acquisition research (SLA). Full of vivid examples, Margot brings SLA theories to life, and discusses the limitations of some theories, while highlighting how other theories shed light on complex processes that go on when multilingual learners learn content in a new language. The lecture connects theories to concrete best practices in the classroom, to paint a comprehensive picture of how theory connects to practice.
There is a fast-moving worldwide shift from English being taught as a foreign language (EFL) to English being the medium of instruction (EMI) for academic subjects such as science, mathematics, geography and medicine. EMI is increasingly being used in universities, secondary schools and even primary schools.

ELLs with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education: Six Criteria For SuccessHelaine W. Marshall
We have developed six criteria for designing classroom activities to promote the language acquisition, content-knowledge development, literacy skills, and critical thinking skills of limited formally schooled ELLs. We demonstrate how to use these criteria and provide a checklist for teachers to use in preparing their own materials.

Teachers often feel unprepared to address the learning needs of ELLs with limited/interrupted formal education, especially at the secondary level. To help them, we developed a checklist with criteria for the effective instruction of these students. We demonstrate our use of this checklist with ESL math and social studies teachers.

Teachers’ Classroom Practice to develop students English Writing Skills at pr...Md. Mehadi Rahman
Objectives: The present qualitative study investigates teachers’ classroom practice to develop primary level students English writing skills in Bangladesh, India. Methods: Five-government primary school and five teachers were chosen conveniently from each school in Dhaka. Randomly three English classes of each teacher were chosen to observe their teaching-learning practice. The study used a lesson observation protocol and interview protocols as an instrument
of data collection. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Findings:. Teachers used traditional teaching-learning methods emphasizing students’ rote learning and used Bangla as a medium of instruction. The study also found teachers’ challenges like large class size, extra workload, lack of
teaching aids etc. in developing students writing skill at the elementary level. Conclusions: The study explored that teachers’ current practice in Bangladesh does not help students to develop their writing skill at all.

Within this context, we examine the priorities of North American mainstream educators and those of ELLs with limited or interrupted schooling and consider how educators can establish pathways to culturally new ways of learning for this subpopulation of ELLs.

Abstract
English language learners (ELLs) represent a growing population in the U.S. K–
12 system. Research has shown that these students face many challenges that affect
their trajectory to college. The challenges include, but are not limited to, issues
related to academics, socioeconomic status, parental involvement, and socio-
emotional strains. This article explores the many obstacles ELLs face that affect
their college/career access and attainment and provides suggestions for school
counselors working with ELLs to increase their college-going culture.
Keywords: English language learners, immigrants, college counseling, college-
going culture
English language learners (ELLs) is a term used to refer to students who receive
any language assistance program (Cook, 2015). ELLs in the United States are a diverse
group who speak hundreds of different languages from many parts of the world; they differ
in ethnicity, culture, educational background, and socioeconomic status (American Youth
Policy Forum, 2009). In addition, not all ELLs are immigrants; some are born and raised
in the United States (American Youth Policy Forum, 2009). Although ELLs come from
different backgrounds, it is important to note that the largest group of ELLs in the United

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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
