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.

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
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

53. Homework….TODAY (due Monday) In one page or less Questions: “What is the EU?” (is it some sort of “superstate”? Can it be considered a “country”? Is the EU an I.O. (“intergovernmental organization”) like the UN? What makes the EU different “Why does the EU exist?” Use book for research (ch1-2). Students will be called on to answer at the beginning of next class. In addition to participation points….Best answer also gets 1 point extra credit (for midterm)!!
55. Team Project Teams will consist of 3-4 students The project report should be between 6 and 8 pages long (Font: Arial, 12; Line Spacing: 1.5). Student grades for the team project will be a combination of team grade (50%) plus individual contribution (50%)
56. Team Project Students will work in teams to analyze the expansion in the EU along three dimensions (a) Geographic expansion (b) Economic expansion (c ) Political expansion
57. Team Project A) Geographically, the union has grown from 6 original members in the 1950's to 27 today. B) Economically, the union has expanded from its roots in the coal and steel industries, moved on to bigger goals of a "single market" and free movement of goods, services, capital and people, and now includes a monetary union for 16 (soon to be 17) of it's members. C) Politically, the union has shifted over time away from purely inter-governmental negotiations, and has begun to take on various attributes of a supra-national (or even federal state).
58. Team Project Controversy: As the EU has expanded, there has also been a growing controversy regarding how much expansion is appropriate.
59. Team Project To discuss this controversy surrounding expansion…. students should consider…
60. Team Project Geographic: For the geographical dimension, students will focus on Turkey and it's bid to join the European Union. Students must answer the question: “Should EU enlargement include Turkey?
61. Geographic (Turkey question): Students should analyze the pros and cons of EU membership both from the EU perspective and from Turkey's perspective. Students must include discussion about political, economic and social issues related to the potential Turkish membership in the EU. What are the reasons for including/ excluding Turkey from EU membership? Should the EU consider expanding at all? If not Turkey, then who? If no new members should be invited to join, why not?
62. Team Project Geographic: To help with Turkish-question, consider reading: Book p 32-36 , including box “The Turkish question” Book p56-57 Book p205-207 “Relations with Eastern Europe” Reading: Economist special report on Turkey
63. Team Project Economic / business dimension : For the economic / business dimension, students will focus on the Single Market and objectives (4 freedoms) Concepts to consider include: How does the single market help European businesses to compete with global competitors (US, Japan, China, etc). How has expansion into Eastern Europe helped / hurt this goal? How important has the euro currency been to this project? What are the key issues of the single market in the future?
64. Team Project Political dimension Students will focus on issues related to national sovereignty and the transfer of power from national capitals to Brussels. Answering the following questions… What do you think the EU should be in the future? Should it become a "United States of Europe", totally unified and a super-state, or should it be a looser union (not any deeper than now)? more…
65. Team Project Political dimension Ideally, should the EU become a global rival to the USA, a second superpower to balance the US internationally? With respect to security, defense, taxation and other sensitive issues, do you think countries of Europe should cede more power to the EU?
