A Pathway To Teacher Autonomy And Learner Autonomy: A study on socioaffective...Yamith José Fandiño Parra
The growing popularity of learning English as a foreign language generates a substantial degree of sociocultural pressure for adults to learn or improve their language skills. However, there are indications that many EFL learners do not seem to either have appropriate beliefs, attitudes, anxieties, and motivations or make a good use of proper language learning strategies. EFL teachers in general and Colombian EFL teachers in particular should address these issues by engaging in critical reflections to provide their students with appropriate activities to face up to the emotional difficulties of social interaction and language learning, but more importantly, to open their own work to inspection and to construct valid accounts of their educational practices. Action research (AR) and reflective teacher-learning on socioaffective language learning strategies appear to be powerful means for developing both teacher autonomy and learner autonomy. Teacher autonomy is developed because new methodological and pedagogical opportunities are opened up for teachers to develop an appropriate expertise of their own. Learner autonomy is also developed because students can become aware of and identify their strategies, needs and goals as learners in order to reconsider and refashion approaches and procedures for optimal language learning. A particular action research study examined these issues by focusing explicitly on affective factors and socioaffective language learning strategies among learners in a monolingual EFL classroom at the Centro Colombo Americano in Bogota, Colombia. The results of the study suggested that explicit strategy instruction in socioaffective language learning strategies is helpful in heightening learner awareness of the importance of paying attention to their own feelings and social relationships as part of their learning process. The results also showed that when teachers reflect on their practical pedagogical know-how, it becomes rich personal pedagogical knowledge.
Coloniality and ELT education programs: the need for disrupting alternatives ...Yamith José Fandiño Parra
This presentation will call for disruptive research practices that not only can question the rhetoric of modernity and the logic of coloniality, but also position epistemic disobedience and a grammar of decoloniality (Mignolo, 2010) in the production of knowledge in foreign language education programs (Fandiño, 2021). It will do so by first going over coloniality in general and coloniality of knowledge in particular. Then, it will discuss knowledge production in the field of foreign language education. After that, it will propose some preliminary ideas about the decolonization of research in foreign language education programs. Finally, it will encourage participants infuse their own research agendas and research projects with disruptive alternatives.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

3. TEACHER EDUCATION AND POSTMETHOD PEDAGOGY
Postmethod
pedagogy
• It is not a method,
but rather a teaching
philosophy and a
principled approach
to teacher
development.
• It focuses on the
specific ways of
teaching that
teachers develop
according to their
experiences,
learners’ needs,
available resources
and socioeducational
contexts.
Principles
• PARTICULARITY: It
seeks to facilitate the
advancement of a
context-sensitive,
location-specific pedagogy
that is based on a true
understanding of local
linguistic, sociocultural,
and political
particularities.
• PRACTICALITY: It seeks
to enable and encourage
teachers to become
producers of knowledge by
theorizing from their
practice and practicing
what they theorize,
• POSSIBILITY: It seeks
to tap the sociopolitical
consciousness that
participants bring with
them to the classroom so
that it can also function as
a catalyst for a continual
quest for identity
formation and social
transformation.
Strategies
• Maximizing Learning
Opportunities.
• Minimizing
Perceptual
Mismatches.
• Facilitating
Negotiated
Interaction.
• Promoting Learner
Autonomy.
• Fostering Language
Awareness.
• Activating Intuitive
Heuristics (self-
Discovery).
• Contextualizing
Linguistic Input.
• Integrating
Language Skills.
• Ensuring Social
Relevance.
• Raising Cultural
Consciousness.
11. TEACHER EDUCATION AND POSTMETHOD PEDAGOGY
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements? Why?
The success of teaching English as a foreign language is mainly related to
teachers’ language level and their command over the latest teaching
methods.
Teacher education in EFL should focus not only on communicative and
methodological competences, but also on human decision making in
complex, dynamic social settings.
Student teachers in EFL programs need to commit to constructing their
knowledge, using inquiry-based strategies and critically reflecting on their
perspectives.
