This document discusses cooperative learning, an instructional method where students work in groups to help each other master material presented by the teacher. There are two main types - formal, lasting one class period to weeks, and informal, lasting minutes to one class period. Effective cooperative learning utilizes principles like positive interdependence and individual accountability. Several specific cooperative learning strategies are described, including Think-Pair-Share, Three-Step Interview, Jigsaw Technique, and Three-Minute Review. Cooperative learning has been shown to increase self-confidence, communication skills, and critical thinking when implemented properly in the classroom.

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.

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.

5. Introduction
Cooperative is one of the most remarkable and fertile areas of theory, research and
practice in education. Cooperative learning is an instructional method that encourages
students to work in groups to master material presented by the teacher. In this method
students listen, argue, discuss, explain and teach in their effort to help each other and master
the academic content presented by the instructor. Group members are responsible for making
sure all members understand the material.
Students work from beginning to end the assignment until all group members
successfully comprehend and complete it. It increases self confidence and communication
skills of individual, strengthen the power solving and critical thinking and student
participation in the process of education. Cooperative learning utilizes ideas of Vygotsky,
Piaget and Kohlberg in that both the individual and the social setting are involved in the
learning process as students attempt to initiate life learning.
There are two cognitive theories that are directly applied to cooperative learning, the
developmental and the elaboration theories. The developmental theories assume that the
interaction among students around appropriate task increases their mastery of critical
concept. The elaboration theory suggests that one of the most effective means of learning is
to explain the material to someone else.
Principles of cooperative learning
Positive interdependence
Face to face interaction
Individual and group accountability
Interpersonal and small groups skills
Group processing
Types of cooperative learning
1. Formal cooperative learning:
It consist of students working together, for one class
period to several weeks to achieve shared learning goals
6. and complete jointly specific tasks and assignment. The
role of teacher is to maximize interdependence and
active learning among students.
2. Informal cooperative learning:
Here students work together to achieve a joint learning
goal that last from a few minutes to one class period.
The teacher’s role is to keep students more actively
engage intellectually before and after the lesson.
Different methods of cooperative learning
There are a number of cooperative learning strategies that can be used in different
situations in the classrooms. Some of them are:
Think – Pair - Share
Three - step Interview
Round Table or Rally Table
Group Investigations
Jigsaw Technique
Rally Robin
Three - minute review
Think – Pair – Share
Think – Pair – Share is a method that allows students to engage in individual and
small group thinking before they are asked to answer questions in front of the whole class.
There are four steps in this method.
Step I : Group of four students listen to a question posted by the teacher.
Step II: Individual students are given time to think and then write their responses.
Step III: Pairs of students read and discuss their responses.
Step IV: A few students are called on by the teacher to share their thoughts and ideas
with the whole class.
7. Three – Step Interview
It is a strategy that is effective when students are solving problems that have no
specific right answers. Three steps are involved in this process.
Step I: The teacher presents as issue about which varying opinions exist and poses
several questions for the class to address.
Step II: The student in pairs becomes the interviewer and the interviewee.
Step III: After the first interview has been completed, the student’s roles are switched.
After all interviews have been done, the class writes a summary report of the results.
Round Table or Rally Table
The roundtable has three steps.
Step I: The teacher poses a question that has multiple answers.
Step II: The student each in group writes one response on a paper and passes
counterclockwise to the next student.
Step III: Teams with greatest number of correct responses gain some type of
recognition
This type of Cooperative learning can easily be used in the mathematics classroom.
Group Investigations
Group investigations are structured to emphasis higher-order thinking skills such as
analysis and evaluation. Students work to produce a group project, which they may have a
hand in selecting.
STAD (Students teams – achievement divisions)
8. STAD is used in grades 2-12. Students with varying academic abilities are assigned to
4 or 5 member teams in order to supply what has been initially taught by the teacher and help
each student reach his or her highest level of achievement. Students are then tested
individually. Teams earn certificates or other recognition based on the degree to which all
team members have progressed over their past records.
Jigsaw Technique
The key to implementation of Jigsaw is the creation of gap in student’s information
and using this gap as a motivator for their further involvement in the learning processes.
Jigsaw I has main components: reading, expert group discussion, team report, testing and
team recognition. In Jigsaw after the material to be learnt is divided in two separate units, it
is presented in ‘base groups’ of 4 or 6 heterogeneous members assembled by the teacher.
Rally Robin
Rally Robin or Round Robin Brainstorming is strategies where the class divided into small
groups of 4 to 6 students per group with one person appointed as the recorder. A question is
posed by the teacher with many possible answers and students are given time to think about
answers. After the ‘think time’ members of the team share responses with one another in
round robin style. The recorder writes down all the answers of the group members. The main
difference is that in round robin one student does all the recording for all members of his
group.
Three – minute review
Three – minute review is used when the teacher stop any time during a lecture or
discussion and allows team three minutes to review what has been said with their group.
Students in their group can ask a clarifying question to the other members or answer
questions of others.
Conclusion
Cooperative learning method help students to learn from each other by creating small
mixed group towards a common purpose in academic subjects, both in classroom and in
9. other environment. Cooperative learning is a popular instructional arrangement for teaching
mathematics to students both with and without LD. Coupled with direct instruction,
cooperative learning holds great promise as a supplement to textbook instruction by
providing students with LD opportunities to practice math skills and concepts, reason and
problem solve with peers, use mathematical language to discuss concepts, and make
connections to other skills and disciplines. Carefully constructed lessons, using the "lesson
preparation," "lesson instruction," and "lesson evaluation" components can offer students
with LD rich learning opportunities in mathematics instruction.
