Maximizing Comprehensible Input and Output to Improve Student Achievement in ...Chinese Teachers
By Yuqing Hong, Principal of P.S. 310 The School for Future Leaders
Chinese Language Teachers Association of Greater New York (CLTA-GNY) and NYU's Project Developing Chinese Language Teachers are delighted to bring this workshop which shares with participants teaching methods that focus on the way our brains naturally acquire language and techniques and strategies that prioritize the delivery of understandable, personalized and relevant messages, as well as way to empower students with meaningful output for learning.
Teaching culture with a pragmatics approachIATEFL BESIG
Sabrina Gerland: When learners are fluent in English and are still unable to communicate their speech intentions, they complain that their foreign counterpart just doesn’t understand. This is often the point when intercultural communication training is considered necessary. However, it is my belief that some of the problems could be dealt with in the language classroom using a pragmatics approach. The aim of this talk is to show the value of focusing on speech act performance as a means to approach the cultural dimension of language use.
Adjectives and their Difficulties in English and Arabic A Comparative Study -...Al Baha University
This study is an attempt to examine analytically the
similarity and differences of adjectives in both languages,
English and Arabic. The study attempts to methodically evaluate
the different kinds of English adjectives as well as the Arabic
adjectives focusing on the usage, the differences and similarities,
as well as the difficulties.
Moreover it aims to shed light on the way to make such
comparison understandable. It is prepared to contribute in
enriching the field of study because of the lack to researches in
this area.
The study is compromised of four sections. The first section
deals with a brief introduction summarizing the importance of
the study. A short definition of adjectives in English and Arabic
is presented. The second section deals with Adjectives in
English, detailed definitions, and the types of adjectives
supported by examples. Whereas the third part independently,
introduces with details the Adjectives in Arabic; its meaning, and
types supported with examples. The fourth concentrates on a
short comparative study between adjectives in English and
Arabic shedding light on the problems and difficulties of
adjectives in both Arabic and English followed by a general
conclusions, findings and recommendations of the study.

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
