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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

Essay

5. Research reading
Things to take into consideration while making
notes:
Review the commonly known facts about your
topic.
Try making a preliminary list of the subtopics you
would expect to find in your reading.
Choose a component or angle that interests you.
facts and theories that help answer your
question, and other people’s opinions about
whether specific answers are good ones.
7. Some General Advice
An essay should have an argument.
Formulate question(s) you will seek to answer
in your essay. Next, develop by thinking,
reading, and jotting a provisional thesis
or hypothesis.
An essay’s organization should be designed to
present your argument clearly and
persuasively.
8. Understanding Essay Topics: A
Checklist
Note the Key terms
Note which concepts or methods the topic
asks you to use.
ask yourself questions about the specific
topic.
formulate a tentative thesis statement at a
fairly early stage.
9. Thesis Statements
• It makes a definite and limited assertion that
needs to be explained and supported by
further discussion.
• It shows the emphasis and indicates the
methodology of your argument.
• It shows awareness of difficulties and
disagreements.
10. Paragraph
What is a paragraph?
• A paragraph is a series of related sentences
developing a central idea, called the topic.
• Probably the most effective way to achieve
paragraph unity is to express the central idea of
the paragraph in a topic sentence.
• Often, the body paragraph demonstrates and
develops your topic sentence through an
ordered, logical progression of ideas.
11. Topic Senteces
• Topic sentences state the main point of a
paragraph.
• They do not need to be at the beginning at the
paragraph.
• Not every paragraph needs to have a topic
sentence.
12. Types of paragraphs
Definition paragraph (it defines a term)
Analysis or classification paragraph (develops a topic
by distinguishing its component parts and discussing each of
these parts separately)
Comparison or a contrast paragraph (shows
similarity or difference between two sources, positions, or ideas)
Qualification paragraph (acknowledges that what you
previously asserted is not absolutely true or always applicable.)
Process paragraph (involves a straightforward step-by-
step description.)
13. Introduction
Use statistics
Quote an expert
Mention a common misperception that your thesis
will argue against.
Give some background information.
Use a brief narrative or anecdote that exemplifies
your reason for choosing the topic.
define a term that is possibly unfamiliar to your
audience but is central to understanding the essay.
14. Conclusion
If your essay deals with a contemporary problem,
warn readers of the possible consequences of
not attending to the problem.
Use an apt quotation or expert opinion to lend
authority to the conclusion you have reached.
Return to an anecdote, example, or quotation
that you introduced in your introduction, but add
further insight that derives from the body of your
essay.
Recommend a specific course of action.
15. How Not to Plagiarize
• Give the reference as soon as you’ve mentioned the
idea you’re using, not just at the end of the paragraph.
• Keep mentioning authors and pages and dates to show
how your ideas are related to those of the experts. It’s
sensible to use your own words because that saves
space and lets you connect ideas smoothly.
• Always write down the author, title and publication
information (including the specific identifying
information for online publications) so you can attach
names and dates to specific ideas.
16. Using Quotations
Consider quoting a passage from one of your sources if any of the following
conditions holds:
• The language of the passage is particularly elegant or powerful or
memorable.
• You wish to confirm the credibility of your argument by enlisting the
support of an authority on your topic.
• The passage is worthy of further analysis.
• You wish to argue with someone else’s position in considerable detail.
If an argument or a factual account from one of your sources is particularly
relevant to your paper but does not deserve to be quoted verbatim, consider
• paraphrasing
• summarizing
Verbs to introduce a quotation:
Argues – writes – points out - concludes – comments – notes – mantains-
suggests – insists – states – claims – reveals – explains – says - demonstrates
18. Revising And Editing
• First check whether you have fulfilled the intention of
the assignment.
• Then look at overall organization.
• polish and edit your style by moving to smaller matters
such as word choice, sentence structure, grammar,
punctuation, and spelling.
Hit Parade Of Errors In Grammar, Punctuation, and Style

paper, the name of the course, your name, the
date, and the instructor’s name.
• Number your pages in the top right-hand corner.
• Double-space your text, including indented
