MEd: EAL pupils and classroom teachers' attitudes to class withdrawal vs main...
ABSTRACT
In the 1980s, the teaching of English to EAL (English as an Additional Language) learners in England moved from the provision of separate programmes to providing language support in mainstream settings. Both The Swann Report (1985) and The Calderdale Report (1986) considered teaching EAL students away from schools as racial segregation. Nowadays, the English government policy in England expects EAL learners to be included in the mainstream as quickly as possible, requiring subject teachers to teach both language and content in their classes. However, many schools still provide some withdrawal-based support to EAL learners, seeing such an approach as the most practical. Whilst, over the years, there have been numerous research papers debating the advantages and drawbacks of EAL withdrawal and mainstreaming, this debate has almost never included EAL children’s opinions themselves.
This dissertation reports on a small-scale study conducted at a secondary school in north-east England into the opinions held by new-to-English EAL pupils and mainstream teachers on whether or not such pupils should be mainstreamed or withdrawn for English language lessons, investigating whether these opinions are aligned or divergent. 5 EAL pupils and 5 mainstream teachers were interviewed for this study. Were EAL pupils’ and their teachers’ views very different, an assertion could be made that schools do not serve this group very well and act directly against their needs – perhaps due to political, historical and social processes. Taking into consideration factors likely to influence the opinions held by the two parties, this dissertation presents its findings, conclusions and recommendations for the future.

EAL Hull: Christiana Rose: Teaching Tenses Through Tasks
This document discusses ways to teach verb tenses through cross-curricular tasks. It notes that discussing language in the context of communication tasks is more effective than traditional grammar teaching alone. Example tasks are provided for teaching the present simple, future, and past tenses across subjects like English literature, geography, art, and science. Suggestions are made for how teachers can model correct verb forms and engage students in practicing tenses within communicative tasks. Cloze exercises and substitution tables are also proposed for structured practice of verb forms.

ELL Students Face Unique Challenges
1) English language learners (ELLs) are the fastest growing segment of the US public school population, and will make up 1 in 4 students by 2025.
2) Most ELL students are born in the US and come from low-income families. Three out of four ELL students speak Spanish as their primary language.
3) ELL students often face challenges like lower academic performance and higher dropout rates compared to non-ELL students. They must meet the same testing standards but are tested in English before being fully proficient.
English language learners intro power point
1 in 5 students in the U.S. are English language learners or children of immigrants. There are approximately 2-3.3 million English language learners, with 73% being native Spanish speakers. Students acquiring a new language progress through several stages, initially observing and imitating, then using single words and phrases, and eventually developing an initial understanding of grammatical rules. It can take 5-7 years for students to develop cognitive academic language proficiency needed for academic success, or up to 10 years if they have no prior schooling or native language support. Teachers' expectations have a strong influence, as high expectations can help students whereas lower expectations can hinder their progress.

EFL to ESL: Helping learners bridge the communicative gap
This document discusses strategies for helping learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) prepare for studying abroad in an English-speaking country where English is used as a second language (ESL). It outlines three key strategies: 1) modeling communicative activities and analyzing them using Bloom's Taxonomy to develop higher-order thinking skills; 2) scaffolding academic oral presentations to build presentation skills through peer feedback; and 3) implementing peer mentoring programs where former study abroad students or native speakers provide guidance to EFL learners preparing to study abroad. The document argues that these approaches can help EFL learners develop important communication, cultural, and academic skills needed to successfully transition to an ESL environment abroad.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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
