Interactive Ways of Teaching Language SkillsYogeshIJTSRD
This work is aimed at developing all the skills of students in teaching foreign languages through interactive methods. Thus, the research topic is called “Interactive Methods of Teaching Language Skillsâ€. The study discusses the importance of perfectly organizing all skills in foreign language teaching. Modern methods and interactive methods will be carefully studied and applied. It is also important to increase the effectiveness of foreign language learning using modern methods, away from traditional teaching methods, and to use it as an effective teaching tool in the formation of language learning skills. The aim of the research is to provide foreign language teachers with a brief overview of the interactive methods used at different stages of language skills development, especially the various tools aimed at developing students ’cognitive skills.

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

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.
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.

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. Introduction
•
Speaking is "the process of building and sharing meaning through
the use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts"
(Chaney, 1998, p. 13). Speaking is a crucial part of second language
learning and teaching. However, today's world requires that the goal
of teaching speaking should improve students' communicative skills,
because, only in that way, students can express themselves and
learn how to follow the social and cultural rules appropriate in each
communicative circumstance.
3. How To Teach Speaking
• Communicative language teaching
is based on real-life situations that
require communication. By using
this method in ESL classes,
students will have the opportunity of
communicating with each other in
the target language. In brief, ESL
teachers should create a classroom
environment where students have
real-life communication, authentic
activities, and meaningful tasks that
promote oral language. This can
occur when students collaborate in
groups to achieve a goal or to
complete a task.
5. Discussions
• After a content-based lesson, a
discussion can be held for various
reasons. The students may aim to
arrive at a conclusion, share ideas
about an event, or find solutions in
their discussion groups. Before the
discussion, it is essential that the
purpose of the discussion activity is
set by the teacher. In this way, the
discussion points are relevant to this
purpose, so that students do not
spend their time chatting with each
other about irrelevant things.
6.
7. Role Play
• One other way of getting students to speak is roleplaying. Students pretend they are in various social
contexts and have a variety of social roles. In role-play
activities, the teacher gives information to the learners
such as who they are and what they think or feel.
8.
9. Simulations
• Simulations are very similar to
role-plays but what makes
simulations different than role
plays is that they are more
elaborate. In simulations, students
can bring items to the class to
create a realistic environment. For
instance, if a student is acting as a
singer, she brings a microphone
to sing and so on. Role plays and
simulations have many
advantages. First, since they are
entertaining, they motivate the
students. Second,they increase
the self-confidence of hesitant
students.
10. Brainstorming
• On a given topic, students can produce ideas in a
limited time. Depending on the context, either
individual or group brainstorming is effective and
learners generate ideas quickly and freely. The good
characteristics of brainstorming is that the students
are not criticized for their ideas so students will be
open to sharing new ideas.
11. Storytelling
• Students can briefly summarize a
tale or story they heard from
somebody beforehand, or they
may create their own stories to
tell their classmates. Story telling
fosters creative thinking. It also
helps students express ideas in
the format of beginning,
development, and ending,
including the characters and
setting a story has to have.
Students also can tell riddles or
jokes. For instance, at the very
beginning of each class session,
the teacher may call a few
students to tell short riddles or
jokes as an opening. In this way,
not only will the teacher address
students’ speaking ability, but
also get the attention of the class.
12. Interviews
•
Students can conduct interviews on selected topics with various
people. It is a good idea that the teacher provides a rubric to
students so that they know what type of questions they can ask or
what path to follow, but students should prepare their own interview
questions. Conducting interviews with people gives students a
chance to practice their speaking ability not only in class but also
outside and helps them becoming socialized. After interviews, each
student can present his or her study to the class. Moreover,
students can interview each other and "introduce" his or her partner
to the class.
13. REPORTING
• Before coming to class,
students are asked to read
a newspaper or magazine
and, in class, they report
to their friends what they
find as the most interesting
news. Students can also
talk about whether they
have experienced anything
worth telling their friends in
their daily lives before
class.
14. Conclusion
• Teaching speaking is a very important part of
second language learning. The ability to
communicate in a second language clearly
and efficiently contributes to the success of
the learner in school and success later in
every phase of life. Therefore, it is essential
that language teachers pay great attention to
teaching speaking. Rather than leading
students to pure memorization, providing a
rich environment where meaningful
communication takes place is desired. With
this aim, various speaking activities such as
those listed above can contribute a great deal
to students in developing basic interactive
skills necessary for life. These activities make
students more active in the learning process
and at the same time make their learning
more meaningful and fun for them.
