The Secret Passageways of Writing - TOBELTA Reading & Writing ConferenceMalu Sciamarelli
There is no doubt that writing is one of the most difficult skills for L2 learners to master. The difficulty lies not only in generating and organizing ideas, but also in translating these ideas into an intelligible text. In this session I’m going to present an activity of reading/writing based on “The Shadow of the Wind”, and show that the teacher is responsible for translating all the writing principles into practice and should constantly record, ponder and analyze what they have done in the classroom, and use their reflective experience as a basis for improving their practices.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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

THE MOON IN THE WELL
One night Hodja was walking by a well when he had a sudden impulse to look inside of it. To his
amazement he saw the reflection of the moon in the water and exclaimed:
" The moon has fallen into the well! I must save it somehow!"
He looked around an found a rope with a hook on the end of it so he threw it in the well and
shouted:
"Grab the hook, moon, and hold tight! I'll pull you out!"
The rope latched onto a rock inside the well and Hodja pulled back on the rope as hard as he
could. Suddenly the hook broke free from the rock and Hodja fell over on his back. Lying there,
he noticed the moon high up in the sky above. He heaved a sigh of relief and said:
"Well, it wasn't easy, but it's sure a wonderful feeling to know that I've delivered the moon
from the well!"
THANK GOD!
Hadja had lost his donkey. While he was looking for it, he kept repeating, "Thank God!"
"Hodja, why are you thanking God all the time?" people asked.
"I am grateful that I was not on the donkey, otherwise I would be lost too." he answered.
THOSE WHO KNOW AND THOSE WHO DON'T
Friday is the Sabbath for Moslems and it is customary for the hodjas te preach to the
congregation after the midday prayers. Nasreddin Hodja was usually averse to preaching. One
Sabbath, after the prayers, he climbed up to the pulpit and addressing the people said:
"Oh, good people of Akshehir, do you know what I am now about to tell you?"
"No," came the reply.
"Since you don't know about so important a subject, I'd better save my breath."
So saying the Hodja got down the pulpit and walked out the mosque.
3. Next Sabbath, when he put the same question to the congregation:
"Yes," was the reply.
"In that case, there is no reason for my wasting your time," said the Hodja and walked out.
The third Sabbath when confronted with the same question, half the congregation said "Yes"
and the other half "No."
"Well, that's all to the good," said the Hodja this time. "Those of you who know can tell all
about it to those of you who don't."
SELLING BIRD
One day Hodja was wandering in the marketplace, checking out the stands as he always did. On
one of them, he noticed a different bird he had never seen in his life before. A bird with
strange colors. A merchant was shouting out its price.
" One hundred ".
One hundred for a bird !? Having been startled at the price of the bird, probably good for
nothing as he thought, Hodja rushed to his house and fetched his precious turkey over. Finding
a place next to the man selling the bird, he began shouting out :
" Two hundred, two hundred for turkey". People around him started to laugh. An ordinary bird
like turkey could never go for a price like that.
"But, he is selling that weird, useless one for one hundred ", Hodja tried to explain.
"No!", they said. " it is a parrot ".
" Well, so what ? What does a parrot do ? " asked Hodja.
" Don't you know Hodja " they replied all at once " a parrot speaks ".
Never have expected an answer like this, Hodja paused for a moment and as if he wasn't
impressed at all and he went on
" If a parrot speaks, a turkey meditates ".

Then came a man who said that he could get the money out easily. He turned Ragil upside
down and patted him with great precision on the back of neck and, sure enough, the coin rolled
out.
Everyone was amazed. The father said " you must be an expert!"
The man replied." No, sir, I'm just a debt collector."
DOCTOR AND LAWYER
As they were talking, they were interrupted by people describing their health problems and
asking the doctor for medical advice.
After an hour of this, the doctor asked the lawyer,"What do you do to stop people asking you
for legal advice when you are out of office?"
The lawyer replied,"I give them the advice, and then the next day I send them a bill for the
advice. They pay the bill, and never ask me for advice outside the office again."
The doctor was surprised but decided to try it.
The next day while the doctor was preparing the new bills, the postman pushed a letter into his
letter box. The doctor opened the enveloped and inside found a bill from the lawyer.

man. Take this to someone else, i couldn't read. said the Hodja.
How come? you are wearing the turban of a learned man yet you can't read a letter...
The Hodja took off his turban and placed it in front of the man
Ok, if it is skill of a turban, put it on and read your letter yourself!
TRY IT YOURSELVES
While working on the roof of his house Hoca had a dizzy spell and suddenly found himself on
the ground. The neighbours came running concerned and began to shout questions;
-What happened, Hoca?
-Did you hurt yourself?
-You should have paid attention...
-How do you feel, Hoca?
Hoca groaned
6. -Instead of standing around pestering me, you should climb onto my roof and roll over the
ledge head first, then you would have all your answers.
TIGER POWDER
One day Molla Nasreddin was sprinkling some powder on the ground around his house.
-Molla, what are you doing? a neighbor asked.
-I want to keep the tigers away.
-But there are no tigers within hundreds of miles.
-Effective, isn't it? Molla replied
The Moon or the Sun?
People ask Hoca;
-Hoca, is the moon or the sun more useful?
-Of course the Moon, replies Hoca. "While the sun enlightens the earth during daytimes, the
moon enlightens during the nights. "
NASREDDIN STORY
Most of Nasreddin’s neighbours were pleasant people, who were always ready to help each
other when they were in trouble, but there was one woman who lived in his street who was
disliked by everybody because she was always interfering in other people’s business, and
because she was always borrowing things from people and then forgetting to give them back
Early one morning, Nasreddin heard a knock at his front door, and, when he opened it, found
this woman outside. “Good morning, Nasreddin,” she said. “I have to take some things to my
sister’s house in the town today, and I have not got a donkey, as you know. Will you lend me
yours ? I will bring it back this evening.”
“I am sorry,” answered Nasreddin. “If my donkey was here, I would of course lend it to you very
willingly, but it is not.”
“Oh?” said the woman. “It was here last night, because I saw it behind your house. Where is it
now?”
7. “My wife took into town early this morning,” answered Nasreddin. Just then the donkey brayed
loudly.
“You’re not telling the truth, Nasreddin!” the woman said angrily. “I can hear your donkey. You
should be ashamed of yourself, telling lies to a neighbour!”
“You are the one who should be ashamed, not me!” shouted Nasreddin. “Is it good manners to
believe a donkey’s word rather than that of one of one’s neighbour?”
WHAT TIME IS IT?
A tramp lie down and sleep in the park. He had been sleeping for about 5 minutes when a
couple walked by. The man stopped, woke the tramp up , and asked him, "Excuse me.
Do you know what the time is?" The tramp replied, "I'm sorry - I don't have a watch, so I don't
know the time." The man apologized for waking the tramp and the couple walked away.
The tramp lay down again, and after a few minutes went back to sleep. Just then, a woman,
who was out walking her dog, shook the tramp's shoulder until he woke up again.
The woman said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I'm afraid I've lost my watch - do you happen to
know the time?" The tramp was a little annoyed at being woken up again, but he politely told
the woman that he didn't have a watch and didn't know the time.
After the woman had gone, the tramp had an idea.
He opened the bag that contained all his possessions and got out a pen, a piece of paper and
some string. On the paper, he wrote down, 'I do not have a watch. I do not know the time'.
He then hung the paper round his neck and eventually dropped off again.
After about 15 minutes, a policeman who was walking through the park noticed the tramp
asleep on the bench, and the sign around his neck. He woke the tramp up and said, "I read your
sign. I thought you'd like to know that it's 2:30 p.m."
8. THE BOSS AND THE TRAINEE
A Man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee. On his first day he dialed the pantry
and shouted into the phone, "Get me a coffee quickly!"
The voice from the other side responded, "You fool you've dialed the wrong extension! Do you
know who you're talking to, dumbo?"
No", replied the trainee.
"It's the Managing Director of the company, you fool!" The man shouted back, "And do you
know who YOU are talking to, you fool?" "No", replied the Managing Director. "Thats Good!",
replied the trainee and put down the phone!
NASREDDIN AND THE THIEF
Every Saturday, Nasreddin went to the market to buy food and other things. He put them in a
big basket, but he was old and weak, so he always paid another man to carry the basket home
for him. But one Saturday, while he was walking home in front of the man with the basket, the
man ran away with it.
The next Saturday, when Nasreddin went to the market again, a friend of his said, ‘Look,
there he is! That man stole your things last week!’ Nasreddin at once hid behind a shop, and
stayed there until the man left the market.
His friend was very surprised. ‘Why did you do that? He asked.
‘Well,’ said Nasreddin, ‘that man was carrying my basket whe he left me a week ago. He will
want me to pay him for seven days’ work, and that will cost me more than a basket full of
things!’
PRIVATE CONVERSATION;
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did
not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking
very loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned around. I looked at the man
and the young woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it.
9. I turned around again. “I could not hear a word” I said angrily.“It’s none of your business” the
young man said rudely. “This is a private conversation” (From: English New Concept)
Generic Structure Analysis
