The document provides guidance on what constitutes a literature review and how to conduct one. It defines a literature review as an evaluation and synthesis of previous scholarly work on a topic. It emphasizes that a literature review is not just a summary of sources but should critically analyze and integrate them to avoid bias. It outlines key purposes such as identifying gaps and avoiding duplicating past work. The document provides questions researchers should ask themselves to properly scope their review and critically evaluate sources. It stresses the literature review should be organized around the research question and identify areas of agreement, controversy and need for further work.

According to W.R. Borg
“The literature of any field forms the foundation upon which all future will be built. If we fail to build the foundation of knowledge provided by the review of literature our work is likely to be shallow and naïve and will often duplicate work that has already been done better by someone else”
A literature review is a systematic review of the published literature on a specific topic or research question.
The literature review is designed to analyze-- not just summarize-- scholarly writings that are related directly to your research question

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.
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

2. WHAT IS A LITERATURE REVIEW?
• Many students are instructed, as part of their
research program, to perform a literature reviewliterature review,
without understanding what it is.

3. Sources essential for LT
• Sources are generally described as primary, secondary, or
tertiary.
• Primary: Primary sources are “materials that you are directly
writing about, the raw materials of your own research.”
• Secondary: Secondary sources are “books and articles in
which other researchers report the results of their research
based on (their) primary data or sources.”
• Tertiary: Tertiary sources are “books and articles based on
secondary sources, on the research of others.”
– Tertiary sources synthesize and explain the work of others and might
be useful early in your research, but they are generally weak support
for your own arguments… at times they are challenged in your
argument!
4. What is Literature Review?What is Literature Review?
• A literature review is an account of what has
been published on a topic by accredited
scholars and researchers.
• Occasionally researchers are asked to write
one as a separate assignment (sometimes in
the form of an annotated bibliography), but
more often it is part of the introduction to an
essay, research report, or also a chapter in
M.Phil/Ph.D.thesis.
5. What is the purpose ofWhat is the purpose of
Literature Review?Literature Review?
• Purpose - to convey what knowledge and ideaswhat knowledge and ideas
have been established on a topic, and whathave been established on a topic, and what
their strengths and weaknesses are.their strengths and weaknesses are.
• As a piece of writing, the literature review must
be defined by a guiding conceptdefined by a guiding concept (e.g., our
research objective, the problem or issue you are
discussing, or your argumentative thesis).
• It is not just a descriptive list of the material
available, or a set of summaries
6. What is ‘not’ Literature Review?
– Not - chronological catalog of all of the sources, but an
evaluation, integrating the previous research together,
– But - it is to explain how it integrates into the proposed
research program. All sides of an argument must be clearly
explained, to avoid bias, and areas of agreement and
disagreement should be highlighted.
• Not - collection of quotes and paraphrasing from other
sources.
• But - good literature review should also have some
evaluation of the quality and findings of the research.
7. Why do a Literature Review?

project in relationproject in relation to other work
9. Two important objectives of LR:Two important objectives of LR:
• Besides enlarging your knowledge about the
topic, writing a literature review lets you gain and
demonstrate skills in two areas:
1.information seeking: the ability to scan the
literature efficiently, using manual or
computerized methods, to identify a set of
useful articles and books
2.critical appraisal: the ability to apply
principles of analysis to identify unbiased and
valid studies
10. A literature review must doA literature review must do
these things:these things:
• be organized around and related directly to
the thesis or research question we are
developing
• synthesize results into a summary of what is
and is not known
• identify areas of controversy in the literature
• formulate questions that need further
research
11. Ask yourself questions like these:
• What is the specific thesis, problem, or
research question that my literature review
helps to define?
• What type of literature review am I
conducting? Am I looking at issues of theory?
methodology? policy? quantitative research
(e.g. on the effectiveness of a new
procedure)? qualitative research (e.g.,
studies )?
12. Ask yourself questions like these:
• What is the scope of my literature review? What types
of publications am I using (e.g., journals, books,
government documents, popular media)? What
discipline am I working in (e.g., Engineering,
Psychology, Humanities, Pharmacy, Management)?
• How good was my information seeking? Has my
search been wide enough to ensure I've found all the
relevant material? Has it been narrow enough to
exclude irrelevant material? Is the number of sources
I've used appropriate for the length of my paper?
13. Ask yourself questions like these:
• Have I critically analysed the literature I use? Do I
follow through a set of concepts and questions,
comparing items to each other in the ways they
deal with them?
• Instead of just listing and summarizing items, do I
assess them, discussing strengths and
weaknesses?
• Have I cited and discussed studies contrary to my
perspective?
• Will the reader find my literature
review relevant, appropriate, and useful?
14. Ask yourself questions like these about each
book or article you include:
• Has the author formulated a problem/issue?
• Is it clearly defined? Is its significance (scope,
severity, relevance) clearly established?
• Could the problem have been approached more
effectively from another perspective?
• What is the author's research orientation (e.g.,
interpretive, critical science, combination)?
• What is the author's theoretical framework (e.g.,
psychological, developmental, feminist)?
15. Ask yourself questions like these about each
book or article you include:
• Has the author evaluated the literature relevant
to the problem/issue? Does the author include
literature taking positions she or he does not
agree with?
• In a research study, how good are the basic
components of the study design (e.g., population,
intervention, outcome)?
• How accurate and valid are the measurements?
Is the analysis of the data accurate and relevant
to the research question? Are the conclusions
validly based upon the data and analysis?
16. Ask yourself questions like these about
each book or article you include:
• How does the author structure the argument?
Can you "deconstruct" the flow of the argument
to see whether or where it breaks down logically
(e.g., in establishing cause-effect relationships)?
• In what ways does this book or article contribute
to our understanding of the problem under
study, and in what ways is it useful for practice?
What are the strengths and limitations?
• How does this book or article relate to the
specific thesis or question I am developing?
