What is a research article?
Before we talk about how to find research articles, we have to
agree on what we're looking for. We're looking for scientific
truth. Where do you get it? From a Trustworthy Authority? Give
me a break! (see rant).
Scientific truth resides in research articles. A research article is
one that provides observations or the observed results of
experiments (not merely conclusions) and a description of how
the experiments were performed, in sufficient detail that
someone else might replicate them. You will recognize them by
the detail paid to the methods on which the results were based.
A news report of a scientific finding is not a research article. It
doesn't describe how to do the experiment. A review article is
not a research article. It combines lessons learned from multiple
research articles but, again, does not describe how to do the
experiments it covers.
Strategies to find research articles
If you know the exact title of the article you're looking for, then:
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/why-find-research-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/how-to-read-articles.html
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~elhaij/bnfo300/17/Units/Intro-course/trustworthy-authority.html
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/lsl/help/modules/review.html
• Your favorite search engine may be the fastest way to reach
the article (if you have its exact title). However, if you're
doing this from off-campus, the site you reach will not
recognize your IP address and not realize that you are a
member of the VCU community and thus deserving of the
full text of articles in journals to which VCU subscribes.
•
• VCU library general search facility is an excellent way of
getting most articles. If you are accessing it from off
campus, you'll be prompted for your eID and password if
needed. But no database is perfect, and you may sometimes
need to look elsewhere.
If you don't know the exact title, then:
• Using a search engines is generally a poor strategy -- too
low of a signal-to-noise ratio
•
• Google Scholar is much better but I haven't used it enough
to know how its database compares to others. Note that
Google Scholar allows advanced searches by clicking the
down arrow in the search box.
•
• For greater flexibility, try dedicated services, such as
PubMed and Web of Sciences.
There are two major strategies to use these indexes to find
research articles (plus one general fallback strategy):
• Keyword search: Looks for articles whose titles, abstracts,
or author lists contain a set of words that you supply. Used
by all the sites. This is what you're already used to.

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.
