The document summarizes key concepts from the "political landscape school" of political geography. It discusses several elements that are studied, including the area of a state (location, size, form, core areas, and political subdivisions). It also covers internal patterns like race, language, religion and their distributions related to suffrage and parliamentary representation. Terminal elements examined include boundaries, disputed areas, and frontier zones/defense positions. The conclusion notes that the school provides a limited interpretation of political geography by focusing only on visible/tangible elements of political organization.
Political Ecological School is a thought in political geography where people are important than the political area they live. It concentrates on human group rather than political boundary.
Multi-level planning refers to the process of planning and decision-making across multiple levels of government, institutions, or organizations. In multi-level planning, there is a coordinated effort to ensure that plans, policies, and decisions are aligned across different levels to achieve shared goals and objectives.

Trewartha approach in studying population geography. Sushanta Gupta
According to Trewartha, Population is the point of reference from which all the other elements are observed and from which they all, singly and collectively, derive significance and meaning. It is population which furnishes the focus
In broad terms, cultural geography examines the cultural values, practices, discursive and material expressions and artefacts of people, the cultural diversity and plurality of society.
It also emphasizes on how cultures are distributed over space, how places and identities are produced, how people make sense of places and build senses of place, and how people produce and communicate knowledge and meaning.

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

2. POLITICAL LANDSCAPE SCHOOL
According to the school, political geography is the study
of various features of the political landscape of the
states such as size, shape, population differences,
subdivisions, frontier and boundaries. It is concerned
with the cultural landscape.
3. The items included in such a study of political
geography are the following:-
The Area:
Location, size and form
Core areas and nuclei
Political sub-divisions—local, sub-provincial and
provincial.
4. 1. Area
Location: In political landscape school the location of a state
determines it's economic or military power. For example, India has
open water ways to the Indian ocean & it's economic condition is
more stable than Nepal.
Size: The size of a state or country determines its human & natural
resources. A medium size state which really adds political strength,
while the large or larger size has inherent inner contradictions;
often leading to political crisis or instability and small size is
politically enviable. For example, Bhutan is a small country which
has a small population & fewer resources.
Forms: Every country differs in their own forms and structure. A
dominant forms determines the political landscape of a state. For
example, In Afghanistan, the land forms are hilly whereas in
Bangladesh is a country of flood plain. That's why transportation
system is much easier than of Afghanistan's.
5. Core areas & nuclei: It is a common idea that conceives the
people in the entire region that they belong together.
Historically, in certain states, a core may have played a major role
in spreading that idea to other regions & it may continue today
as in France, Argentina & Mexico to focus the interest of the
regions on itself as the centre of what has become a functioning
unit but the common idea for a state may develop where no
core-area exists.
Political Subdivision- Local, sub-provincial, provincial : Some
Countries have their political power distributed among
provinces, sub province and local respectively. For example, In
Canada, local governments have been called "creatures of the
province" because the authority of a local government derives
solely from the provincial government. Provinces can create,
merge, and dissolve local governments without the consent of
the federal government or the people in the affected locality.
7. 3. The internal pattern
Races: A race is a grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into
categories generally viewed as distinct by society. Some states are divided according to
racial category. For example, In Africa the majority of people are Negroid whereas in
Russia there are majority of people are mongoloid.
8. Language: language determines the distinctiveness of a country. For example,
In Germany, German language is needed to communicate & all administrative
work. Like Germany, Arabic for Saudi Arabia & Korean for Korea.
9. Religion: Sometimes religion differences form distinct states to bring peace &
avoid religious conflict. For example, In Saudi Arabia, the majority of the
people are Muslim, Hindu in India Christian in Western countries.
10. Distributions
Suffrage: Suffrage means the right to vote in political elections.
In most democracies, eligible voters can vote in elections of
representatives. Voting on issues by referendum may also be
available.
In Switzerland, this is permitted at all levels of government. In
the United States, some states such as California & Washington
have exercised their shared sovereignty to offer citizens the
opportunity to write, propose & vote on referendums &
initiatives, other states & the federal governments have not
11. Parliamentary Representation: Parliament in a parliamentary
form of government is a multi functional organ of a state, but
its functions are rarely defined in any constitution or other
document anywhere in the world. The Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE) consists of a number of
individual representatives from each Member State, with a
President elected each year from among them for a maximum
period of two sessions.
For example, Parliament of Bangladesh is a unicameral
legislature consisting of 350 members of which 300 Members
from 300 territorial constituencies that is one from each
constituency, on the basis of adult Franchise. The remaining 50
seats are reserved for women who are elected by the aforesaid
elected Members in accordance with law on the basis of
procedure of proportional representation in the Parliament
through Single Transferable Vote. This provision for 50 reserved
women seats will continue for ten years from the beginning of
the 9th Parliament.
12. 3. Terminal Elements:
Boundaries and their configuration
Disputed areas.
Frontier Zones:
Defence positions
Militarised and demilitarised zones
Custom barriers
13. 3. Terminal Elements
Boundaries: Boundaries are dividing line that marks the limit of
an area. It indicates the operation of centripetal forces. It’s a
spreading factor. The boundaries are linear. It’s artificial,
geometrical and political. In boundaries there is no human
settlement. Boundaries are changing phenomenon and highly
moveable.
14. Disputed Areas: A disputed area is one countries claim belongs to
them, so that there is a disagreement or war between them.
in Bangladesh and the Indian states of West
Bengal, Tripura, Assam and Meghalaya. Within the main body of
Bangladesh were 102 enclaves of Indian territory, which in turn
contained 21 Bangladeshi counter-enclaves, one of which
contained an Indian counter-counter-enclave – the world's only
third-order enclave. Within the Indian mainland were 71
Bangladeshi enclaves, containing 3 Indian counter-enclaves.
15. Frontier zones
Frontier is a line which separates two countries. In political
geography frontier is the political and geographical area near or
beyond a border or boundary. Basically it’s the region of a country
that fronts on another country.
Defence positions: Defence services are needed to defend a
country. It’s vital for national interests and values against external
and internal threats of armed aggression. In short armed forces
are an imperative as the ultimate instrument of national security.
16. Militarized zones: A military or an armed force is a
professional organization formally authorized by a sovereign state
to use lethal or deadly force and weapons to support the interests
of the state. It typically consists of branches such as an Army,
Navy, Air Force, and in certain countries the Marines and Coast
Guard.
For example, Kashmir is the most densely militarized zone in the
world. More than 700,000 Indian military personnel are deployed
in the state; for every eight Kashmiris, there is an Indian soldier.
Few of the largest military forces of the world consist of USA,
China, UK, Turkey, Japan, Pakistan, India, and North Korea.
17. Demilitarized zones: A demilitarized zone, DMZ is an area in
which treaties or agreements between nations, military powers
or contending groups forbid military installations, activities or
personnel. A DMZ often lies along an established frontier or
boundary between two or more military powers or alliances. A
DMZ may sometimes form a de facto international border, such as
the 38th parallel between North and South Korea. Other
examples of demilitarized zones are a 120-mile (190 km)
wide area between Iraq and Kuwait, Antarctica (preserved for
scientific exploration and study) and outer space (space more
than 100 miles (160 km) from the earth's surface).
Many demilitarized zones are considered neutral
territory because neither side is allowed to control it, even for
non-combat administration.
18. Custom Barrier: A customs barrier, or trade barrier, acts to limit
trade across borders by creating and enforcing various
restrictions.
Customs barriers may be put in place by governments who are
looking to give an advantage to a domestic industry over that of a
foreign competitor.
19. 4.The External Pattern
International grouping: Many countries form alliance for certain
beneficial facts. As per se a country may take help of another
countries military to defend against other threats. Or sometimes
many small militarized countries form alliance to defend themselves
from other vast military powers.
For example in the 2nd world war the Axis alliance was Germany,
Japan, and Italy. Whereas the other main leading countries are
former Soviet Union, United states, United Kingdom, and The
Republic of China.
20. Colonial Patterns: Colonies are build by colonists of different colonies
stretching from their home to different extent. Some colonists may
approach as for trade, but overtime settles and may dominate after long
period. The British colonists were found in the Indian, Australian,
Canadian and some African regions. The French colonies were found in
the western African regions. China was colonized by Japans colonists.
21. Conclusion
Since the school “restricts the subjects to a study of the
visible elements of mans of political organization & activity”,
it can afford a limited interpretation of political geography &
narrows down a scope.
