September has arrived and we are getting ready to start the new academic year and get back to our everyday routine. Our students will probably be stocking up on new stationery, clothes and books for school, so we have designed our activities this month with this in mind. Our B2 First and C1 Advanced students will learn some useful vocabulary to describe graphs and comment on shopping habits. A2 Key and B1 Preliminary learners will practise their speaking and listening skills to be better prepared when they find themselves in shopping situations. Finally, the youngest ones can practise their speaking and writing to describe their favourite shop. Happy teaching!

Who are the customers of fashion brands? You might be surprised!
If you’re thinking of starting your own fashion brand, it’s important to know who your customers are – and who they aren’t. Your customer base should reflect your brand image, and if you try to cater to everyone, you’ll end up pleasing no one in particular. So if you have an idea for an upscale line of designer dresses, you shouldn’t expect to be selling those same dresses to teenagers just because they like your trendy designs and low prices.
Fashion & Customers - What do they want?
Customers may complain about paying too much for clothing, but studies have shown that people often spend more on clothing than they need to. What do these customers want? Understanding what drives your customer’s purchasing decisions will help you sell more products and services to them over time. Who makes up your target audience? If you’re looking to create a new product or service, who should you design it for, and why wou

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.

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.

September 2021 - Cambridge English Teachers Activities
1. 1
September
September has arrived and we are getting ready to start the new academic year and get back
to our everyday routine. Our students will probably be stocking up on new stationery, clothes
and books for school, so we have designed our activities this month with this in mind. Our B2
First and C1 Advanced students will learn some useful vocabulary to describe graphs and
comment on shopping habits. A2 Key and B1 Preliminary learners will practise their speaking
and listening skills to be better prepared when they find themselves in shopping situations.
Finally, the youngest ones can practise their speaking and writing to describe their favourite
shop. Happy teaching!

Listen to these statements. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Take notes of relevant points
made during the discussion.
1. Digital shopping is here to stay.
2. Customer loyalty (1) has plummeted, with buyers switching brands at unprecedented
rates.
3. Consumers are changing their shopping habits in response to health and safety
concerns.
Follow up (15’) – in pairs / groups of 3
Read some additional information about the statements above. Are they in line with what has
been discussed? Why (not)?
The survey found a 15-30% overall growth in consumers who made purchases online across a broad
range of product categories. Many of the categories see a (2) double-digit percentage growth in
online shopping intent, led by over-the-counter medicines, groceries, household supplies and personal
care products.

3. 3
Physical distancing and stay-at-home orders have forced whole consumer segments to shop
differently. A few months after the pandemic started, consumer shopping online had increased
significantly across many categories. Consumer intent to shop online continued to increase, especially
in essentials and home-entertainment categories. More interestingly, these habits seem like they’re
going to stick as US consumers report an intent to shop online even after the COVID-19 crisis.
Categories where expected growth in online shoppers exceeds 35 percent include essentials such as
over-the-counter (OTC) medicine, groceries, household supplies, and personal-care products. Even
discretionary categories such as skin care and makeup, apparel, and jewellery and accessories show
expected customer growth of more than 15 percent.
Source: Charm et al (2020)
The crisis (3) has prompted a surge of new activities, with an astonishing 75 percent
of US consumers trying a new shopping behavior in response to economic pressures,
store closings, and changing priorities. This general change in behavior has also been
reflected in a (4) shattering of brand loyalties, with 36 percent of consumers trying a
new product brand and 25 percent incorporating a new private-label brand. Of
consumers who have tried different brands, 73 percent intend to continue to
incorporate the new brands into their routine. Gen Z and high earners are most prone
to switching brands.
Source: Charm et al (2020)
4. 4
• Can you explain the underlined expressions (1-5) above?
As consumers contemplate going back out to shop, hygiene and hygiene transparency
have emerged as important sources of concern. It is becoming increasingly important
for stores and restaurants to not only follow hygiene protocols but also communicate
effectively that they are following those procedures.
US consumers have already started to change their behavior in response to hygiene
concerns. Technologies that enhance hygiene, particularly contactless activities such
as food and grocery delivery (5) are taking off. Millennials and Gen Z are the widest
adopters of contactless activities.
