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

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Writing a First Draft
⮚ Now that your research is done and you’ve
made a good plan in your outline, it’s time
to begin actually putting words to
paper.
⮚ Don’t worry about making everything
perfect this first time around—that’s why they
call it a draft.
⮚ Just get all of your ideas down in a way
that makes sense.
4. Write with your purpose, form and audience in mind.
Ask yourself these questions as you write:
a) What do I want my readers to learn from my report?
b) How will I organize my writing to make it easy to
understand?
2. Use your first paragraph to introduce your topic, get your
reader’s attention, and present your thesis statement.
3. In the next few paragraphs, tell about what is important for
your topic.
4. Remember to cite your sources in your paper and list those
sources alphabetically on a works cited page (more details
later)
5. Citing Sources Within the Paper
When you have all the information:
• The most common citation lists the author’s last name
and the page number in parentheses:
• “Marco Polo discovered that Tibetans used salt cakes
stamped with the imperial seal of the great Kublai
Khan as money” (Kemper 70).
• If you already named the author in your sentence, or if
you’re quoting from the same item for a second time
within the same paragraph, just include the page number
in parentheses.
• Steve Kemper explains that during the Civil War, the
North sent troops to attack the South’s salt producers in
order to make the South weaker (71).
6. 5-Paragraph Essay Form
Say what you’re going to say, say it, then say that you
said it.
1.Opening Paragraph
a) Remember the funnel!
b) End with your thesis statement.
2. First Body Paragraph (first point about topic)
3. Second Body Paragraph (second point about topic)
4. Third Body Paragraph (third point about topic)
5. Conclusion Paragraph
a) Reverse the funnel.
b) Start by restating your thesis.
7. Opening Paragraph Approaches
• Start with an interesting fact with broad appeal.
• Twelve hundred feet below the ground, an enormous
mine has been operating almost nonstop for more than a
century.
• Ask an interesting question.
• How many people know that there are cars and trucks
driving on roads more than 1,200 feet below the city of
Detroit?
• Start with a quotation.
• “The only dirty part of this job is getting to work,” says salt
miner Joel Payton.
8. Opening Paragraph Example
Twelve hundred feet below the ground, an enormous mine
has been operating almost nonstop for more than a century.
A hundred miles of tunnels connect its huge chambers. It
has underground roads for cars, trucks, and mining machines
This mine produces hundreds of tons of “rock” every day.
However, the rock from this mine is not gold, or iron ore, or
even coal; it is salt. This enormous, hundred-year-old salt
mine lies beneath the city of Detroit, Michigan.
9. Developing the Middle Part
• The middle part of your paper should start by
stating why your topic is important.
• Each paragraph should focus on one aspect of
your topic.
• Each paragraph should begin with a topic
sentence covering one main point about your
overall topic. This sentence is sort of a minithesis
sentence for just this paragraph.
• Use your outline to help you keep your focus.
10. Conclusion Paragraph
• Your final paragraph should sum up your
report and bring it to a thoughtful close.
• State any conclusions you have drawn and
the reasons for them.
• Other possible endings include:
• Remind the reader of the overall main idea
(your thesis sentence).
• Provide information about the future of your
topic.
• Make a final observation for the reader.
