This document summarizes the results of a survey about audience preferences for soap opera elements. Some key findings include:
- 50% of respondents preferred soap operas airing weekly rather than daily.
- Audiences wanted to see both young couples and alpha characters featured.
- A majority (71%) wanted cliffhangers at the end of each episode.
- Romance and murder were the most preferred narrative themes.
- Working class female characters and neighborhood settings including pubs polled very well.
The survey results will help inform the creation of a soap opera trailer by highlighting elements that would appeal most to target audiences.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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. Question 1
• In this questions I wanted to
find out how long the interval
between each episode of a
soap opera should be and 50%
of those who I had asked said
it should be aired once a week.
I too think this is a good idea
as it gives the audience
something to look forward to
each week instead of watchign
the same soap opera everyday
which could get boring. This
result could benefit me and my
team as we could announce
that it would be aired once a
week which would attract the
50% of people.
3. Question 2
• It appears in this survey I got
the results that I wanted
except for the young couples, I
thought that young couples in
a soap opera is something the
audience could relate to
mostly. On the other hand I
knew it would always be a
good idea to have an alpha
male/female in a trailer as it is
an inspiring sight for audiences
as the character is dominant.
Because of this survey it could
really benefit my teams trailer
as we know what types of
characters the audience want
to see.
4. Question 3
• For this question I had three
choices for my audience and
they had mainly chosen a
mixture of both, I too thought
this would be most chosen as
it could separate out soap
opera from others by bringing
originality. Having originality in
my teams trailer could attract
larger audiences also the fact
that we will have different
types of narratives in our soap
opera would interest our
audience, especially if the
episode was to be mainly
related to one shocking events
instead for multiple.
5. Question 4
• Here I wanted to know what
themes the audience prefers
to be in a soap opera and it
seems as if they would be
really interested in all 4 of the
themes that I had mentioned
(action, romance, murder,
drama). But they specifically
think that murder and
romance would be the best to
structure our soap opera
around (85.71%), this is mainly
because these two themes can
really be intriguing to the
audience and interesting.
6. Question 5
• In this question it was a clear
answer to as what the
audience wants which would
help out I and my teams soap
opera. 71% of those who I had
asked said that they would
prefer a soap opera to have a
cliff-hanger in each episode as
it could increase desperate
levels for the audience. It will
encourage and persuade the
audience to watch the next
audience if they want to find
out what happens which is also
a good way to either increase
or maintain a soap operas
popularity.
7. Question 6
• This was also a multiple choice
question which was done
because I thought it was
important to find out what the
audience really want to see in
a soap opera. It has come to
my attention that all of the
dilemmas that I had
mentioned will possibly have
to be included in our trailer to
gain the maximum amount of
viewers. This is because these
dilemmas would attract the
attention and create dramatic
events which could lead to a
continuing soap opera.
8. Question 7
• For this question it was a
multiple choice which
enabled those who
answered to specifically
choose a type of person
such as upper class
male/female. It turned out
that Working class females
came out to be the most
picked which would
stereotypically be ideal for
soap operas. A high 64.29%
would be an ideal audience
for my teams trailer, this
would be enough to
captivate attentions.
9. Question 8
• These are the sort of locations
that are usually included in
some soap operas such as
Eastenders and could also
possibly be sued for our trailer.
It would be good if we had a
good amount of these
locations locally like Albert
Square from Eastenders. From
the results that was collected it
appears that the audience
really want to see a soap opera
based in a neighbourhood
(92%)with the stereotypical
pubs (85%) which is mainly
where the drama happens in
most soap operas.
