June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
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 âany matterâ at âany timeâ 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

Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Hanâs Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insiderâs LMA Course, this piece examines the courseâs effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
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
Â
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 wasnât 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.

3. Formalist Reading
⢠Formalists examine how individual elements of a
text come together to create a work of art. They
are concerned with inside relations as a text for
them is âa self-contained entityâ. They seek
governing principles that allow a text to reveal
itself.
⢠They make second reading and note repetition of
words, images, patterns of sounds and multiple
meanings in detail.
⢠They focus on form, diction and unity
4. Form
⢠Form contains all those organizational devices that
create the total effect i.e. recurrences, repetitions,
relationships, motifs. Form and content are
inseparable. Form is created by how parts affect each
other and fit together. Images gain significance and
create form and unity by appearing more than once
whether randomly or regularly.
⢠The point of view is also a shaping force. Formalists
person,
note whether the narrator is omniscient 3rd
first person or second person.
⢠Formalists note whether the form is traditional or not.
5. ContiâŚ
in sequential
They note whether the events are
fashion or flashback.
They examine whether the ending of a work is
surprising or satisfyingâclosed or open.
They trace effects of meter rhyme, rhythm, sound
patterns, visual patterns, similes and metaphors.
⢠Form is however, hard to be determined in modern
works without guideposts. âHowever, no form is also
form.â It conveys the vision of a chaotic and
meaningless world.
6. Diction
⢠Words are keys to meanings. They have denotations
(literal meanings: lion: an animal)and connotations
(figurative meanings: lion: a brave person). Formalists
look at these aspects and their etymology (origin and
development). Scientists focus on directness and
singularity of meaning and use denotation for practical
purpose while poetry aims at ambiguity and richness
through suggestive, evocative, compressed and multi-
leveled language. Poetry has divergent meanings.
⢠Poetry has complexity resulting from multiple often
conflicting meanings woven through 4 devices.
7. ContiâŚ
⢠1-Paradox-- a statement that appears self-contradictory but
represents the actual way the things are: - Lose life to gain
it. Child is the father of man. Lifeâs spiritual and
psychological realities are paradoxical in nature.
⢠2-Irony-- an event undermined by the context in which it
occurs:
⢠3-Ambiguityâa word or an image or an event generating
two or more different meanings: Lack of clarity and
precision lends richness, depth and complexity to a work.
⢠4-Tensionâa literary text is created by tensionâlinking
together of oppositesâthe abstract and the concrete, the
religious and the secular.
8. Unity
⢠Unityâmultiple meanings produced by the
text must be resolved or harmonized. Organic
unity must be established.
⢠âIf a work has unity, all of its aspects fit
together in significant ways that create a
wholeâ. Each element contributes to its
totality and unifying effect.
9. Russian Formalism
⢠New Critics and Russian Formalist are two groups who are distantly
connected. The latter flourished in Moscow and St. Petersburg in
the 1920s, and although the principles they formulated have some
similarity to those of the New Critics, yet they are two separate
schools. In fact, because the work of the Russian formalists was
based on the theories of Ferdinand de Saussure, the French
linguist, they are probably more closely related to the structuralists,
who were to garner attention in the 1950s and 1960s. Saussureâs
influence is seen, for example, in the Russian formalistsâ argument
that literature is a systematic set of linguistic and structural
elements that can be analyzed. They saw literature as a self-
enclosed system that can be studied not for its content but for its
form. Russian formalist may be termed as early Structuralist.
10. Reader Response Theory
⢠Reader Response critics found the Formalist slogan âThe text
itselfâ very narrow and restrictive. The text can not be
separated from what it does. The reader concretizes the text;
otherwise it is just black marks on the page. They argued that
the text was nothing without the reader. Their extreme
position is that there is no text. The reader creates the text
during the process of reading.
⢠âThe reader makes implicit comments, fills in gaps, draws
inferences, tests out hunches, and to do this means drawing
on a tacit knowledge of the world and literary conventions in
general.â
⢠Formalists had shifted the focus from the author to the text.
Reader Response Theorists(RRT onward) shift it to the Reader.
11. ContiâŚ
⢠âDifferent readers are free to actualize the work in
different ways, there is no single interpretation which
will exhaust its semantic potential.â
⢠What is readerâs response? Actually if a tree falls in the
forest and none is around there to listen its voice, Does
it make a noise? In the same way, if a text sits in a shelf
in a bookstore and none is there around to read it,
Does the text have meaning ? So the practitioners of
RR theory advocate that a readers interaction with text
gives the text its meaning. The text cannot exist
without the reader. There are different schools of
thought in RR theories. They are following:
12. TRANSACTIONAL READER RESPONSE
THEORY
⢠Louise Rosenblatt saysâreader brings âan
attitudeââ âsome personal flavour or
colouring of feelingâ.
⢠Both the text and the reader are necessary for
the production of meaning. A text serves as a
blueprint and people respond in a personal
way influenced by their feelings, associations
and memories.
13. ContiâŚ
⢠Louise Rosenblatt wrote influential books in this regard
⢠A) Literature as Exploration (1938)âtransactional reading.
⢠B)The Reader, the Text, the Poem(1978)âreciprocal
relationship between the text and the reader.
⢠Roman Ingardenâs The Literary Work of Art (1938) regards
literary works as organic wholes. The readers are supposed
to fill the gaps to complete the harmony.
⢠Formalists reading is âa neutral event that occurs in an
historical or cultural vacuumâ. RRT âinevitably personal
and intrinsically human quality.â
14. ContiâŚ
âIt is a kind of experience valuable in and for itself and yet or
perhaps, therefore, it can also have liberating and fortifying
effect on the ongoing life of the readerâ (Rosenblatt, 1938)
⢠He further elaborates that Reading are of two types:
Aestheticâwhat occurs during the actual reading event itself.
There can be transaction between the text and the reader
only if the text is aesthetic.
⢠Non-Aesthetic (efferent)âmaterial from experience
(information, life)
15. ContiâŚ
⢠Booth in The Rhetoric of Fiction (1961) gives
The concept of the implied author He says
"However impersonal [an author] may try to
be, his reader will inevitably construct a
picture of the official scribe who writes in this
manner.â In the same way an Implied Reader
who is presumed image of the reader in
writerâs mind while writing a literary work.
⢠Boothâs The Company We keep(1988)
introduced ethical criticism which examines
interconnections between our lives and the
literary work we consume.
16. ContiâŚ
⢠Ethical value lies in poem or the reader. Of
course the value is not there, actually until it is
actualized by the reader. Nevertheless, of
course. It could not be realized if it were not
there, in potential in the poem (1988. p. 89)
⢠âHe makes of his reader, as he makes of his
second self, and the most successful reading is
one in which the created selves, author and
reader can find complete agreementâ (Booth,
1961).
17. PSYCHOLOGICAL READER-RESPONSE
THEORY
⢠Norman Holland argues that the readerâs motives
strongly influence the way he
interpretations reveal something
reads. Our
about our
psyche. We react to events in texts as we react to
events in real life. Our goal of interpretations is to
fulfill our psychological needs and desires.
Interpretive process has three stages or modes
that occur and recur as we read.
18. AFFECTIVE STYLISTICS
A literary text is an event that occurs in time
and comes into being as it is read. It is not an
object that exists in space. It affects the reader
when it is read line by line and word by word.
A text is not an âobjective, autonomous
entityâ. Stanley Fish asserts that a textâs
meaning can be found by analyzing how it is
structured and responded to.
19. SUBJECTIVE READER-RESPONSE THEORY
For David Bleich, readerâs response are the text.
He made distinction between real objects
(physicalâprinted page) and symbolic objects
(experience created by the readerâconceptual
memories). All knowledge is subjective.
world created by his experiences and
The
whole meanings lie in the mind of the Reader.
20. Social Reader-Response Theory
⢠Fish revised his earlier views. He denied purely
subjective responses and regarded them product of
interpretive communities to which readers belong.
The members of interpretive communities share the
interpretive strategies and bring them to texts when
they read.
Interpretive strategies result from institutionalized
assumptions of what makes a literary text. He wrote
the names of linguists and told the students that the
poem was written in metaphysical period. We find in a
text what strategies put there.
21. Conclusion
⢠Transactional RR Theory analyses the transaction between reader
and the text. Both are seen equally important. A reader can take an
efferent stance based on determinant meaning and aesthetic
stance based on indeterminacy of meaning.
⢠Affective Stylistics RR Theory examines the text in slow format in
which each line or word is studied to determine how (stylistics)
affects the reader in the process of reading
⢠Subjective RR Theory believes that readerâs responses are the text
and all meanings of the text lies in the readers interpretations.
⢠Social RR theory focuses on that a readers approach the text with
interpretative strategies that are the product of the interpretative
communities in which they belong.
⢠The Psychological RR theory believes that how the readerâs
motives strongly influence the way he reads. Our interpretations
reveal something about our psyche.
