This document provides information about incorporating cultural aspects into an EFL classroom. It discusses 6 cultural aspects: greetings, personal space, education, money, accents, and etiquette. For each aspect, it provides brief explanatory text, examples from English speaking cultures, and links to supplemental video resources. The goal is to raise learners' cultural awareness and engage them in learning about the cultures of English speaking countries.
Good grammar is a vital skill for advanced language proficiency: Knowing how words work and how they fit together is critical for putting foreign words to proper use. The need to learn grammar is always going to be part of language learning, and should not be neglected. Even when using an approach that emphasizes the acquisition of vocabulary, ways can and should be found to incorporate grammar into the learning process. The right strategies and technologies can overcome any objections about possible boredom or difficulty by making grammar learning appealing, efficient, and effective. This webinar explains the methodology of Lexical Functional Grammar and demonstrate how to integrate it into lesson planning.

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

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

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. Incorporating Culture in
the EFL Class.
• 1- When students travel to any country in the EnglishSpeaking world to learn English , they don’t only learn the
language but also they learn about the culture of the
people who speak it as a first language .
• 2- The cultural components in EFL class aim at raising
learners’ cultural awareness and engaging them
cognitively, behaviorally and affectively in culture
learning.
3. Cultural Aspect 1 :
Greeting
Greeting
• This activity you can
really do it with any level
and you can adapt it as
you see fit, but it's really
getting the students to
learn about greetings,
international greetings,
and then it leads into
American greetings and
how they can interact with
that.
Greeting

4. Cultural Aspect 2 :
Distance

tips from the clip’s

5. Cultural Aspect 3 :
Education
A typical school day
1- The students start arriving to the school’s playground from about 8:45
am. Most of the children walk from near by housing estates but some
travel to school by car.
2- The children wear a school uniform and carry their homework and
packed lunch in a school bag.
3- School begins at 8:55 am. The duty teacher blows a whistle and the
children line up in their class groups. They wait quietly for the teacher to
send them to their classrooms.
4- On arriving in their classrooms, the children empty their bags and put
their homework in the marking trays/boxes. They hang their bags and
coats on the pegs in the cloakrooms (each class has their own
cloakroom). The children then go back into their classrooms.
6. Cultural Aspect 4 : Money
British Currency
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=wnGIvhGqQ40
1 - The British currency is the pound sterling. The sign
for the pound is pound sign
2- GBP = Great British Pound sign
3- In England , they don’t use the Euro. Although a few
of the big shops will accept Euro, it is rarely used
across Britain.
4- Since decimalization in 1971 , the pound has been
divided into 100 pence.
7. Cultural Aspect 4 : Money
British Currency
• 5- The pound (pound sign) is made up of 100 pence
(p) exactly like the dollar is split into 100 cents.
The singular of pence is "penny". The symbol for the
penny is "p"; hence an amount such as 50p is often
pronounced "fifty pee" rather than "fifty pence".
4- Current coins are:
1 penny, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50
pence, 1 pound, and 2 pounds.
5- Current bank notes are:
• The 5 pound note, the 10 pound note, the 20 pound
note and the 50 pound note.
8. Cultural Aspect 5 :
Accents
Why is English spoken with different accents?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saDQ1xnUIa8
In Britain, every part of the country has its own way of speaking
English. People in Yorkshire sound very different to people in
Surrey; a Somerset accent is very different from any Scottish
accent and it's hard to believe that people from Birmingham are
speaking the same language as those from Cornwall. Most people
in Britain can guess where someone comes from by the way they
speak, either by their accent or by the words they use.
Identification of an accent can place the speaker in a general area of
Britain. Geordie, Scouse, and Cockney are well known dialects from
Tyneside, Liverpool and London respectively.
Today the 'home counties' accent is usually accepted as Standard
English. The home counties are the counties nearest to London .
9. Cultural Aspect 5 :
weather
•
•
•
•
•
1- It's true! British people often start a conversation with
strangers and friends by talking about the weather.
2- As weather is a neutral topic of conversation, it's usually
safe to use it to strike up a conversation – at the bus stop, in a
shop, or with a neighbor over the garden fence.
3- Although British people like to complain about bad weather,
they generally put a brave face on it.
4- If someone complains about too much rain, you might hear:
"Never mind – it's good for the garden.“
5- If someone complains that it's too hot, you could hear:
"At least my tomatoes will be happy."
10. Cultural Aspect 6:
Etiquette

politeness (please, thank you, excuse me) is
expected.
• How to greet someone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMVJTs1UkBE
•
English people are quite reserved when
greeting one another. A greeting can be a
bright 'Hello' 'Hi' or 'Good morning', when you
arrive at work or at school.
11. Cultural Aspect 6:
Etiquette
Visiting people in their houses
When being entertained at someone's home it is nice
to take a gift for the host and hostess. A bunch of
flowers or chocolates are all acceptable.
DOs and DON'TS in Britain
In Britain...
Do stand in line:
In England people like to form orderly queues (standing in line)
and wait patiently for your turn e.g. boarding a bus. It is usual to
queue when required, and expected that you will take your correct
turn and not push in front. 'Queue jumping' is frowned upon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezwu9XP1MmA
12. Cultural Aspect 6:
Etiquette
Do say "Excuse Me":
If someone is blocking your way and you would like
them to move, say “ excuse me “ and they will move
out of your way.
Do say "Please" and "Thank you":
It is very good manners to say "please" and "thank you". It
is considered rude if you don't. You will notice in England
that we say 'thank you' a lot.
Do Shake Hands
Do Smile:
•A smiling face is a welcoming face.
13. Cultural Aspect 6:
Etiquette
In Britain...
Don’t
Do not greet people with a kiss:
We only kiss people who are close friends and relatives.
Avoid talking loudly in public
It is impolite to stare at anyone in public.
Do not ask a lady her age
It is considered impolite to ask a lady her age .
Avoid doing gestures such as backslapping and
hugging
This is only done among close friends.
