This document discusses various approaches to reading and writing. It covers topics like the relationship between readers and writers, top-down and bottom-up processing models of reading, and the importance of considering the reader in the writing process. Barriers to effective reading are explored, such as mismatches between reader and text knowledge or difficulties with certain grammatical structures. Suggestions are provided for developing a reading course curriculum.

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.

Television viewers gradually become
passive in their action. Television may
be a splendid media of
communication, but it prevents us from
communicating with each other or with
the outer world. The world seen
through television is only the restricted
one: It separates us from the real
world.
The reader of this text must be able to
recognize some of the key words and
their exact meanings in order to
understand the point being made by the
author. ( passive, communication,

8. The Reader based
Approach
to Writing
Developed by Bereiter and Scardamalia in 1987.
Views writing as aiming to produce a text that can be read successfully.
The writer has the responsibility of creating a text that accommodates to the
potential reader.
The writer has to be fully “committed both to the content and to the form of the
written text.
The writer must develop evaluation and reformulation strategies in the writing process.

22. Global Processing Difficulties
● Mismatch between the reader´s view of
the world and the view presented in
the text.
● A reader who approaches the text with
preconceived expectations might
misread the message.
● A reader who may not understand
some of the key words.
23. Where did the text
appear and what do
we know about the
book where it
appeared?
Who is the author and what do we
know about him/her ?
When was the article or text
published and what were the issues
of concern at that time ?
Teachers can help students
to recognize some of the
features related to the
interaction between global
coherence and local
coherence by asking these
questions.
Strategies that combine top-down
processing with
scanning the text for key
sentences can help the
reader construct the overall
coherence of the text.

24. Grammatical
Features that
cause
Reading
Difficulties
NOUN
PHRASE
ADJECTIVAL
CLAUSES
A Noun Phrase may be due to a multiple
modifiers, relative clauses with deleted relative
pronouns and compound modifier in
prenominal position.
The complexity of the resulting
structure may cause readers
difficulties recognizing the head
noun,affecting the processing of the
text.
Adjectival Clause with deleted subjects
may interfere with the identification of
the modifier and the head.
The grammatical form of the participles
may mislead readers into thinking that
such a construction is a verb phrase.
25. On one hand, Linguistic
competence is necessary in
order for a reader to
successfully recognize the
internal connections within the
text and be able to relate old to
new information.
On the other hand, General
knowledge of the world is
necessary to connect one´s
background to the ideas
presented in a written text.
30. Use of Tense and Aspect Markers

Cohesion
Simple Past Tense

Aspect
► Main Events
► Main Actions
► To set the scene within
which the main event is about
to occur.
31. Simple Past Vs. Past Progressive
When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing, some
were talking on the phones, the boss was yelling directions, and customers
were waiting to be helped. One customer was yelling at a secretary and
waving his hands. Others were complaining to each other about the bad
service.
Historical Present
At the end of the story, Luke becomes a Jedi and defeats Darth Vader.
32. Lexical Accessibility
The readers combine:
Personal Knowledge + Textual Information
to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words,
only when the context provides them with immediate clues for guessing.
33. The optimal level of textual support should be derived from:
1) The reader´s general schemata or general knowledge structures extending
beyond the text.
2) The reader´s familiarity with the overall context of the text.
3) Semantic information provided in the paragraph within which the lexical item
appears.
4) Semantic information in the same sentence.
5) Structural constraints in the sentence.
35. Reading goals
Discourse-based approach
○ Maximize Independent Reading
○ Facilitate Negotiated Interaction
○ Foster Metacognitive Awareness and Learner
Autonomy
○ Expand Access to New Content Areas
36. Planning a Reading Course.
Effective Reading Strategies.
○ Silent reading in guided situations
○ Shared reading in groups
○ Individual reading inside and outside the
classroom
38. Goals /Metacognitive
awareness
Helps readers make decisions and choices
before ,during and after their reading of the
text.
Expose the learner to a variety of texts
genres,content areas, and styles of writing.
The learner can develop the knowledge
component and the processing skills.
39. Reading Activities that Lead to the
Development of strategic reading
