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.
2. Welcome!
Virtual Tour of the Library
RefWorks
Conducting a “literature review”
• First steps
• In-depth
Getting what you need
• Borrowing/Browsing the stacks
• RACER Interlibrary Loan
Other Useful Tips
3. The Library Website
Links to
RACER,
RefWorks
and more
Access to
library
catalogue,
articles and
more
Renew
books,
see fines,
etc.
Get to
the
Research
Guides
5. “Literature Review” – first steps
Use a general tool, like SuperSearch
It’s a great way to test the water and see what’s out
there.
SuperSearch is basically a
Google-like
DISCOVERY LAYER,
Bringing together the library
catalogue and a number of
library databases.
6. WorldCat
Is a union catalogue
of libraries from
around the world.
Use it to find books
that we don’t have
at Brock.
Amazon is another
tool.
7. Other Databases
We have over 500 databases
Individual databases (vs. SuperSearch) often include
special search features and limiters.
One example – includes
fields for director/film title
And is entirely focused on
film and television periodicals
so less sifting.
8. Let’s do section 1 together
Use the Research Guide for all the links to the resources
mentioned.
Use the RefWorks account to store what you find:
Login Name = PCUL5P02library
Password = lovethelibrary
9. More in-depth research
Reference Sources –
why??
Mainly for the
bibliographies &
further reading lists
But also helpful for
the historical
significance and new
angles to take
10. Proquest Dissertations
Provides subject, title, and author access to almost all
American dissertations accepted at an accredited
institution since 1861 and full-text of over 100,000
dissertations and theses.
Again, very useful for checking out the bibliographies
AND…
Dissertations are often revised into books and the names
you see (advisors, authors) may be key researchers in
the field now.
11. Tracking Citations
A number of tools exist (Google Scholar, Web of Science,
JSTOR)
Citations are of great importance in the sciences esp.
STEM, less-so in the Humanities and Social Sciences –
but still important for seeing articles/books that have
had a lot of influence
Demo of Scholar vs. Web of Science vs. JSTOR
12. Finding Journals
Library Catalogue
Ulrichs
MLA Directory of Periodicals
Why?
Ideas for publishing
See if it’s peer-reviewed
We don’t subscribe to every journal out there
