The chapter discusses factors that influence health and well-being. It covers how biology, psychology, social factors and stress impact health. Stress can negatively affect the body and lead to health issues like heart disease depending on one's personality and coping abilities. Positive psychology research emphasizes the benefits of well-being, happiness, optimism, and social support for physical and mental health. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and coping strategies can help enhance well-being.

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.

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

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.

4. What Affects Your Health?
11.1 Biology, Psychology, and Social Factors Influence Your Health
5. 11.1 Biology, Psychology, and Social Factors Influence Your
Health (1)
The traditional Western medical model sees health as the
absence of disease.
• Patients are the passive recipients of disease.
• Focus is on medical treatments like drugs.
• The assumption is that health professionals know best
and should maintain control over what happens to
patients.
Psychologists and most health-care professionals take a
more integrated approach to health and well-being.
• The individual plays a more active role.
• Attitudes and behaviors are critical to stay healthy,
regain health, and flourish.
6. Health psychology
• A field that integrates
research on health and on
psychology; it involves the
application of psychological
principles in promoting
health and well-being.
Well-being
• A positive state that includes
striving for optimal health
and life satisfaction
11.1 Biology, Psychology, and Social Factors Influence Your
Health (2)
7. Biopsychosocial model
• A model of health that
integrates the effects
of biological, behavioral, and
social factors on health and
illness
o This model is central to
understanding the difference
between the traditional
medical model and the
approach taken by health
psychologists.
11.1 Biology, Psychology, and Social Factors Influence Your
Health (3)
8. How Does Stress Affect Your Health?
11.6 Stress Has a Negative Impact on Your Health
11.7 You Can Have Several Responses to Stress
9. 11.6 Stress Has a Negative Impact on Your Health (1)
The biological effects of stress result directly from the ways we
think about events in our lives and the way social factors influence
us.
• Stress: A group of behavioral, mental, and physical processes
occurring when events match or exceed the organism’s ability
to respond in a healthy way
• Stressor: An environmental event or stimulus that threatens
an organism
• Stress responses: Physical, behavioral, and
psychological responses to stressors
o Mediating factors can increase or decrease the likelihood
that a stressor will elicit a stress response.
11. 11.6 Stress Has a Negative Impact on Your Health (3)
Types of stressors
• Major life stressors: Large
disruptions, especially
unpredictable and
uncontrollable catastrophic
events, that affect central
areas of people’s lives.
• Daily hassles: Everyday
irritations that cause small
disruptions, the effects of which
can add up to a large impact on
health.
13. 11.7 You Can Have Several Responses to Stress (1)
General adaptation syndrome is a physical stress
response.
• Immune system: The body’s mechanism for dealing
with invading microorganisms, such as allergens,
bacteria, and viruses.
• General adaptation syndrome (GAS): A consistent
pattern of physical responses to stress that consists
of three stages:
o Alarm
o Resistance
o Exhaustion
14. 11.7 You Can Have Several Responses to Stress (2)
15. 11.7 You Can Have Several Responses to Stress (3)
Immune response
• More than 300 studies have demonstrated that
short-term stress boosts the immune system—such
as occurs during the end of the fight-or-flight
response—whereas chronic stress weakens it,
leaving the body less able to deal with infection.
16. 11.7 You Can Have Several Responses to Stress (4)
Fight-or-flight response
• The physiological
preparedness of animals
to deal with danger
o Within seconds or
minutes, the fight-or-
flight response enables
the organism to direct its
energy to dealing with
the threat.
17. 11.7 You Can Have Several Responses to Stress (5)
Tend-and-befriend response
• Females’ tendency to respond
to stressors by protecting and
caring for their offspring
and forming social alliances
Negative stress responses
• When people are stressed,
they also eat junk food,
smoke cigarettes, use drugs,
and drink.
18. How Do Mediating Factors Affect Your Stress?
11.8 Personality Influences the Impact of Stress on Heart Disease
11.9 Coping Mediates the Impact of Stress
19. 11.8 Personality Influences the Impact of Stress on Heart
Disease (1)
Genetics is one of the many factors that influence heart
disease.
• Another critical factor is how we respond
to stressors.
20. 11.8 Personality Influences the Impact of Stress on Heart
Disease (2)
Type A and B behavior patterns
• Type A behavior pattern: Personality
traits characterized by
competitiveness, achievement orientation,
aggressiveness, hostility, restlessness, impatience
with others, and an inability to relax.
o Men who exhibit these traits are much more likely
to develop heart disease.
• Type B behavior pattern: Personality
traits characterized by being
noncompetitive, relaxed, easygoing, and
accommodating.
21. 11.8 Personality Influences the Impact of Stress on Heart
Disease (3)
Hostile personalities and depression
• Hot-tempered, hostile people who are frequently
angry, cynical, and combative are much more likely
to die at an early age from heart disease.
o There is considerable evidence that
negative emotional states not viewed as part of a
type A or B personality—especially depression—
also predict heart disease.
22. 11.9 Coping Mediates the Impact of Stress (1)
Primary appraisals
• The part of coping that involves making
decisions about whether a stimulus is stressful or
not
Secondary appraisals
• The aspect of coping that involves deciding how to
manage and respond to a stressful stimulus
23. 11.9 Coping Mediates the Impact of Stress (2)
Types of coping
• Emotion-focused coping: A type of
coping in which people try to prevent an
emotional response to a stressor.
• Problem-focused coping: A type of
coping in which people take direct steps
to confront or minimize a stressor.
o Downward comparison: You would
focus on possible good things—the
proverbial silver lining—in the
current situation.
o Another strategy is to give positive
meaning to ordinary events.
24. 11.9 Coping Mediates the Impact of Stress (3)
Individual differences in coping
• Some people seem stress resistant
because they are so capable of
adapting to life changes by
viewing events constructively. This
trait is called hardiness. It has three
components.
oCommitment
oChallenge
oControl
• Some people have more resilience
than others and are better able to
cope in the face of adversity.
25. 11.9 Coping Mediates the Impact of Stress (4)
Involving the family
• Including family members in a treatment plan for a
chronically ill person may seem important.
o According to the research, however, such
inclusion is often ineffective (Martire & Schulz,
2007).
o Family interventions can be beneficial when
family members promote the person’s feeling of
being in control.
26. Can a Positive Attitude Keep You Healthy?
11.10 Positive Psychology Emphasizes Well-Being
11.11 Social Support Is Associated with Good Health
11.12 Several Strategies Can Help You Stay Healthy
27. 11.10 Positive Psychology Emphasizes Well-Being (1)
Positive psychology
• The study of the strengths and virtues that allow
people and communities to thrive
o According to positive psychologists, happiness
has three components:
Positive emotion and pleasure
Engagement in life
A meaningful life
28. 11.10 Positive Psychology Emphasizes Well-Being (2)
A sense of well-being
• The Well-Being Index investigates people’s sense of
well-being across six areas:
o Life evaluation
o Emotional health
o Work environment
o Physical health
o Healthy behavior
o Basic access to housing, food, and water
30. 11.10 Positive Psychology Emphasizes Well-Being (4)
Health benefits of positive and well-being
• Positive and negative emotions were studied in relation
to three broad types of diseases (Richman et al., 2005):
o Hypertension
o Diabetes
o Respiratory tract infections
• Higher levels of hope are associated with reduced risk
of these diseases.
• Higher levels of curiosity are associated with
reduced risk of hypertension and diabetes.
31. 11.11 Social Support Is Associated with Good Health (1)
Social support helps people cope and maintain good health in two basic
ways:
• People with social support experience less stress overall.
• Social support enables people to better cope with stressful events.
Marriage can be good for your health.
• Marriage is generally our most intimate and long-lasting supportive
relationship, and it has many health advantages.
o Men and women derive approximately equal benefits from
marriage.
o Being single leads to greater mortality for both women and men.
o Comparable data are not available for gays or lesbians who are
married or in long-term, marriage-like relationships.
33. 11.11 Social Support Is Associated with Good Health (2)
Spirituality contributes to well-
being.
• Religion and spirituality
provide a sense of meaning or
purpose in life.
o On a daily basis, religious
beliefs can help
people achieve and
maintain well-being
through the social support
provided by faith
communities.
34. 11.12 Several Strategies Can Help You Stay Healthy
