This document discusses the passive voice and passive constructions in English. It provides examples of sentences with two objects and how they can be transformed into passive sentences. It also discusses the use of "get" in informal passive constructions and exceptions to the passive like "to be born". Key points covered include:
- Sentences with two objects can have two possible passive forms depending on which object becomes the subject.
- "Get" can be used instead of "be" in informal passive constructions and expresses unexpected or accidental action.
- Certain verbs like "to be born" are inherently passive and always use "to be" in passive constructions.

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.

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
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.

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. TWO OBJECTS IN AN ACTIVE SENTENCES – TWO
POSSIBLEPASSIVE SENTENCES
Passive voice also
known as passive
sentences
contains a direct and indirect object.
two possible active
sentences and two
possible passive
sentences.
Sentence 1: The professor gave the
students the books.
Sentence 2: The professor gave the books
to the students.
Normally the indirect
object is a person, were
the direct object are
things.
Object 1 = indirect object →
the students
Object 2 = direct object →
the books
3. EXAMPLES
Subject Verb direct Object
indirect Object
with to
The professor gave the books to the students.
Subject Verb Object 1 Object 2
Active: Rita wrote a letter to me.
Passive: A letter was written to me by Rita.
Passive: I was written a letter by Rita.
one of the two objects
becomes the subject,
the other one remains
an object
Note: As you can see in the examples, adding by
Rita does not sound very elegant. That’s why it is
usually dropped.
4. ACTIVITIES WITH 2 OBJECTS
Rachel will give you some advice.
→ Some advice will be given to you.
I sent him a letter.
→ A letter was sent to him.
The police officer showed us the way.
→ The way was shown to us.
Our neighbour gave me a lift.
→ A lift was given to me.
We have asked him a favour.
→ A favour has been asked of him.
5. PASSIVE GERUNDS.
use the words being
and the past participle
Gerunds are often confused with verbs. Because
gerunds take an "ing" ending, some students mistake
them for verbs in the continuous form. If you don't see
the verb "be" in front of a word with an "ing" ending, it's
probably a gerund.
1- He thinks that learning English is
important for his career.
2- I like listening to the radio.
3- This morning, they're meeting their
friends at the airport.
If you picked the first
two sentences, you're
correct! The third
sentence is in the
present continuous
tense.
6. EXAMPLES
1- He doesn´t like being told what to do.
He hates people telling him what to do
2- He enjoyed being read to.
He enjoys people reading to him
3- They don’t like being watched.
They don’t like people watching them.
4- Do you remember being paid?
Do you remember somebody paying you?
5- He hates being photographed
He hates people photographing him.
7. MORE EXAMPLES
She enjoys being photographed.
He hates being photographed.
Her baby loves being held.
Poodles like being pampered.
Most film stars hate being interviewed.
8. ACTIVITIES OF PASSIVE GERUNDS
The baby likes by her mother. (hold)
They're afraid of because the neighbourhood
is dangerous. (attack)
The students don't look forward to on their math
skills. (test)
to live in solitary confinement was very difficult.
(force)
Rabbits live in fear of alive by a fox or a large
bird. (eat)
Being held
Being attacked
Being tested
Being forced
Being eaten
9. Passive with to be born
There are certain events in life,
in which the receiver of the
action cannot perform the
action, and therefore it does
not have both an active and
passive verb that can be used
to describe them.
10. EXAMPLES:
She was born in 1971.
Where were you born?
“He was born at eight
o’clock in the morning.”
Mercy was born in Mexico
City.
11. "To be born" is
passive and is usually
used in past.
However, in some
cases, present or
future are appropriate
EXAMPLES
• Around 100 babies are born in this hospital every
week.
• We don't know on exactly which day the baby will be
born.
• They say that in China a new baby is born every five
minutes.
12. ACTIVITY
Is Samantha pregnant? Yes, she is. The
doctor says that the baby in late
July.
.- Both my mother and my father
the same year, in December.
15.- Around 100 babies in this
hospital every week.
Will be born
Are born
Were born
13. GET
Get is often used instead of
be in the passive voice in
informal spoken English.
EXAMPLES:
I got picked up by my brother at the
airport.
The dog gets fed every morning.
She got hired by the company in
2003.
14. When you use "get" to
make the passive voice
and the verb is negative,
don't forget to add "do" or
"did" for the present tense
and the past tense:
He gets paid on Friday. / He doesn't get paid on
Monday.
She got hired for that job. / She didn't get
hired until last week.
They get fed at noon. / They don't get fed in
the afternoon.
15. to refer to an action that
happens by accident or
unexpectedly:
EXAMPLES:
Their car got stolen in front of
their house last night.
Jerry got fired because he
was always late for work.
16. Get expresses action and change and is only
used with action verbs, not state verbs:
EXAMPLES:
Jerry was fired because he was always late for
work.
Jerry got fired because he was always late for
work. (fire is an action verb)
As get in the passive voice expresses action, it
makes it possible to differentiate between an
action and a state if it is not otherwise clear:
EXAMPLES:
The living room window was broken. (state or
action)
The living room window got broken. (action)
The passive with be and the agent mentioned also
makes the distinction clear:
The living room window was broken by the burglar.
(action)
17. Idiomatic expressions with the
get passive ( which are not
passive in meaning)
get dressed
get washed
get engaged
get married
get divorced
get lost
EXAMPLES:
I took a shower and got
dressed.
When did they get married?
Have you ever got lost while
travelling?
18. ACTIVITY
For each sentence, use the passive
with "get" whenever possible.
(pay) for a job you enjoy doing
must be the definition of a happy life!
How did the house so fast? ( build)
Getting paid
get built
