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
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.

Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

Procedures
I am going to greet my students and make a lovely comment about what a pleasure it is
to share classes together.
“Hello, children! It’s a pleasure to meet you”.
“How were you this week? Do you remember that you are working? Would you like us
to remember?”
First, we are going to review vocabulary about the family: what words do you
remember?
Then the teacher will put the following image on the board to refresh the basic
vocabulary of the family members and the scheme will be completed
3. After completing the words that they remember, the teacher will write the definitions that
they do not remember on one side and the students must choose in which part they
should be placed.
To finish we will orally review the terms to be able to continue with the class.
We are going to reinforce what was learned in previous class (Work spelling: capital
letter, question mark, exclamation mark).
Next, we will watch a video about the members of the family but first using the same
scheme we will practice the use of the questions:
- Who´s this? He is the father / she is the mother.
- How old is he? He´s thirty-four.
Activity 1:
Here the students will be able to practice the rules learned, using their observation,
listening and attention skills.
The activity consists first listening and watching the video. This will happen twice and
then the teacher will ask them to take note of what they understood and remember from
the video.
For example: brother – doctor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQLlxmqsVdc
Orally, the students will recount and discuss what each one heard and what words they
marked: what did I understand? what did you write?
To finish, the students will be given the transcript of the video and then they must mark
the following:
- capitalization: blue
- use of exclamation marks: yellow
- use of question marks: red
- unknown words: green
A- Is this your family?
B- Yes
A- Who´s this?
B- My brother
A- He´s so handsome!
B- How old is he?
A- He´s thirty-four
B- Oh!
A- He’s a doctor.
B- Oh!
A- That’s his wife.
B- Oh. She´s very pretty
A- Who´s this?
B- That´s my mother
A- Your mother? But she’s so old.
B- She’s not old. She’s fifty-eight
A- Ok
B- Who´s this?
A- Is he a doctor too?
B- No, he´s an architect. That my sister’s husband
A- Who´s this?
B- That my sister´s son. He’s a university student.
A- He’s so cute!
B- He´s so young
A- Who’s this short old woman? What?
4. B- That is not a short old woman. That´s me
A- Oh! Sorry
Transition: “Very good job children, now we continue working with the vocabulary of the
family”
Activity 2:
Here the students will practise reading and observing through a text.
The activity will be individual at the first to mark the words, but then we will work it in
groups and orally to see the mistakes or explain why. The idea is to generate interaction
and participation among all.
The activity consists of first completing the table located below, then asking questions
such as those previously learned. For example: Who's is this? she is Carla.
How old is she? She’s 20 years old.
To finish make sentences using "so" for exclamation. For example: She´s so beautiful.
To finish, each student will write a short fragment about their family, at the end they will
read it to their classmates.
