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.

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.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

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

1. The study of Language
George Yule
Language history and
change
● Florencia Martinez
● Julieta Dattoli
Language and Written Expression IV, 2020
ISFD N°41
2. Family Trees
All languages have a common ancestor
Proto-indo-european
This was the original form (proto) of
a language that was the source of
modern languages in the Indian
subcontinent (Indo) and in Europe
(European) Indo- European family tree traces
the lineage of many modern
languages
3. Family Connections.
There are some common
features in writing some word in
different language:
The fact that similarities
occur is a good evidence of a
family connection
4. Cognates
A COGNATE of a word in one language is a
word in another language that has a similar
form and IS or WAS used with a similar
meaning.
Somes examples:
A COGNATE is necessary to
establish family connections
between languages
Can you notice any similarities?
Modern English and
German have a common
ancestor which is the
branch called
“Germanic” in the
family tree
6. Sound Reconstruction
Look at these examples of three different languages
What can you notice?
● The initial sounds of the
words in languages A and
B are all /k/ sounds while
in language C the initial
sounds are all /ʃ/
But… Which sound was the original one?
1. Following the majority principle
we can claim that the initial
sound in A and B is older than
the /ʃ/ sound in language C
1. According to the most natural
development principle, change
occurs in the direction on stops
becoming fricative. /k/ sound is
older than /ʃ/ sound
Let’s see the direction in which changes
take place
7. 1
FINAL VOWELS OFTEN

VOICELESS SOUNDS

CONSONANTS BECOME
VOICELESS AT THE END
OF WORDS

STOPS BECOME
FRICATIVES
● Any final vowel disappeared
● Any voiceless consonant became
voiced
● Stops consonants DO become fricative
Looking at
the previous
examples
The /k/ sound is more
likely to have been the
original
THE MOST NATURAL DEVELOPMENT
PRINCIPLE
8. WORD RECONSTRUCTION
A set of cognates
from three related
languages
Using the majority principle, we
can suggest that the older
forms will most likely be
based on language 2 or
language 3.
then the consonant
changes must
have been [p] → [b],
[t] → [d] and [k]
→ [ɡ] in order to
produce the later
forms in
language 1.
There is a pattern in these
changes that follows one
part of the “most
natural development principle,”
i.e. voiceless sounds become
voiced between vowels.
9. THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH
Language has undergone
substantial changes through time,
we can take a brief look at
the history of English, which is
traditionally divided into four
periods.
10. The primary sources
for what developed
as the English
language were the
Germanic
languages spoken by
a group of tribes
from northern
Europe who moved
into the British
Isles in the fifth
century.
11. OLD ENGLISH
From the sixth to the eighth
century, there was an extended period
during which these Anglo-Saxons were
con-
verted to Christianity and a number of
terms from Latin (the language of the
religion) came into English at that time.
from this period have emerged
some words like angel, bishop,
candle, church, martyr, priest
and school.
12. Middle English
The End of the Old
English period
The Beginning of the
Middle English
periodArrival of the
Norman French
in England
The Normans had a deep influence on England
The french-speaking
invaders became the
ruling class. French
was the prestige
language
The language of
peasants
remained English
13. In the two hundred years, from 1400 to 1600, the
sounds of English underwent a change known as the
Great Vowel Shift (raising of long vowel sounds).
This was the result of:
● EXTERNAL CHANGES
● INTERNAL CHANGES
15. Syntactic changes (between Old and Modern English
● Word order: In Old English there are a number of different orders that are no
longer used.
○ The subject could follow the verb
■ He travelled/ Ferbe he
○ The object could be placed before the verb or at the beginning of the sentence.
○ The use of negative also differs from Modern English. Double negative construction
is possible:
16. Semiotic changes
Modern English differs from Old English in:
1. Borrowed words
a. tax, defense, beef...
2. Words that have ceased to be used.
a. A common Old English word for man was “were” but it has fallen out of use
There are two semiotic processes:
1. Broadening: a specific term which was used to talk about a specific
meaning now is used to refer to a general meaning.
a. Holy day: change from “Religious feast” to the very general break from work
2. Narrowing: From general meaning to specific.
a. Wife: It was used to refer to any woman but has narrowed in its application
nowadays to only married women.
