The document discusses the differences between animals bred in pens versus in the wild. Animals in the wild are stronger and healthier since they have access to natural food and face more challenges. This is compared to language teaching that focuses only on textbooks without real communication tasks, which leaves students less motivated and competent in using the language. Various definitions of tasks in language teaching are provided, ranging from non-communicative to authentic communication. The document argues teachers should design syllabi that include both linguistic and communication tasks to develop students' abilities.
In this presentation, Rick Kappra and Amy Hemmert introduce participants to innovative techniques and teacherless activities to help increase student involvement and reduce teacher prep time -- plus give students the confidence they need for real-world English interactions! A handout with ready-to-go classroom materials was provided.

TASK BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
Task Based Language Teaching first appeared in the vocationaltraining practices of the 1950s. Task focused here first derived fromtraining design concerns of the military regarding new militarytechnologies and occupational specialties of the period. Task analysisinitially focused on solo psychomotor tasks for which littlecommunication or collaboration was involved. In task analysis, on-the- job, largely manual tasks were translated into training tasks. However,task analysis dealt with solo job performance on manual tasks, attentionthen turned to team tasks, for which communication is required.APPROACH:Task Based Language Teaching refers to an approach based on theuse of tasks as the core unit of planning and instruction in languageteaching. TBLT proposes the notion of “task” as a central unit of planningand teaching. A task is an activity or goal that is carried out usinglanguage, such as finding the solution to a puzzle, reading a map andgiving directions, making a telephone call, writing a letter, or reading aset of instructions and assembling a toy. “Tasks generally bear someresemblance to real life language use”(Skehan 1996). Some of its proponents present it as a logical development of CommunicativeLanguage Teaching since it draws on several principles that formed partof the communicative language teaching movement in 1980s.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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
