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.
2. I asked this question because I wanted to know if different age groups can affect answers to my
question. For example, a younger teen would be more interested in the different images used in
a magazine, whereas an older person would be more intrigued by the history of artists. I wanted
to have a range of different results from different age groups, and that was the result of it. In the
pie chart, you can see that 40% of my respondents were aged 16-21 and another 40% were 22-
29. This means that 20% of my respondents were aged 30 or above. This was very important
towards my research because it meant that not all of my results would be from one age group.
Nothing went wrong with this.
3. I asked these questions because it allowed me to find out which type of artists do people like
(solo or bands), as well as leading onto why they think this in the next question. Also, it would
benefit my magazine as it would let me know which types of artists would be expected to be in a
magazine. The results show that 5 people expected there to be solo artists in a magazine, and
another 5 expected there to be music bands. Below this, I asked which one they preferred and
60% of people chose music bands than single artists. Referring to my results, this means that
music bands are liked more than solo artists, for the reasons below.
4. This shows the different results shown from the 10 people I asked. It was important to ask
this question because it allowed me to see why people nowadays prefer music bands than
solo artists or vice versa. The main reason why music bands were chosen is because music
bands consist of more people, meaning a collaboration of ideas and different voices in songs.
It would have been easier for me to distinguish a general trend if some of the answers were
similar.
5. I have asked this question because it will make it easier for me when I am placing accessories
on my chosen artist. This information will help me create verisimilitude when recreating this
genre. As you can see, the results show that 60% of people think R&B artists usually wear
lots of accessories, whereas 40% think that they wear a little. I was happy with these results
because it meant that I could clearly see what the results were.
6. I have asked this question because it will give me a very clear idea of what images
people would expect to see in an R&B magazine. This information will be used so that I
can add these images in the magazine, to attract my target audience. The majority of my
results displayed that images of artists and concerts (that the artists have performed at)
would be displayed in a magazine.
7. I have asked this question because the information I receive, will determine what will be
displayed within my magazine, as well as what pages it would be displayed on, for example
Front page, contents page, double page spread. As you can see, the results were mainly tour
dates, the images and the top of the charts. I will make sure to include these things in my
magazine.
8. I asked this question because it will allow me to create a sense of verisimilitude within my
magazine. With this information, I can add, what people expect to be in a music
magazine, within my R&B magazine, which would therefore make it look more realistic
and professional. As you can see, the majority of the results said ‘information about the
artists, the top of the charts and tour dates’, which is what I will include in my magazine.
9. I asked these questions because the information will allow me to format my magazine
in a specific way. It would allow me to see what colours; magazine readers would
expect to see in a music magazine. On question 9, 2 people said that dark colours
would be used, and 1 person said that bright colours would be used within a
magazine. However, 3 people said that neutral colours would be used in a music
magazine because it would reinforce the overall R&B genre.
10. CONCLUSION
Overall, I conclude that for my first question, the majority of my respondents were 16-29 years
old. I think that the wide age range benefitted me because it meant that I had a variety of
different people giving their responses. In question 2, the results were split meaning that 50%
of the people I asked chose a solo artist, and the other 50% said that music bands are more
likely to be in a music magazine. Whereas in the next question 40% said they’d prefer a single
artist in a music magazine, and 60% said they’d prefer a music band. These results tell me
that I should include more sections for music bands, than solo artists. In question 5, 60% of
the people I asked said that they would expect artists to wear lots of accessories, whereas
40% of people believe they wear little accessories. This means that I will try to ensure that my
artist wears a sufficient about of accessories, when he is posing for my main image. For
question 9, 57.1% of my respondents believe that dark colours should be used within my
music magazine, and 14.3% believe that bright colours should be used, however I partly
disagree with this because I would assume that bright colours are associated with the genre
Pop. Moreover, 28.6% believe that plan neutral colours should be used for my magazine
because it would reinforce my genre. Although the majority of the people I asked believe that
dark colours are associated with the R&B genre, I would disagree and say that dark colours
are associated with the Rock genre; therefore plain neutral colours are ideal for my genre. The
only thing that would have improved my questionnaire is if I had more responses, so that my
results would be more accurate and quantitative. Overall, most of my results will affect the way
I want to present my R&B magazine, however a few of them may not, because I may want to
make my magazine look similar to other magazines.
