The document discusses the challenges university students face with writing. It notes that students typically work long hours, support families, and have little time to tackle new material, practice writing, or learn different assessment formats. The document then lists the wide variety of writing assignments students must complete and provides student quotes about feeling humiliated by writing demands and not understanding academic language. It suggests the problem may not be that students cannot write, but that they have insufficient time to learn subjects, practice writing, and write to learn before being assessed through various methods and assignments. The document concludes with an activity where participants freely write for ten minutes and note any reasons for stopping to help improve
For Summer 2015 Bodwell began a series of orientation workshops for new students to enable them to better adapt to a new work and living culture. This session focused on various strategies that can be used in order to succeed at school and in life. Students were actively engaged in activities that made them critically think about topics such as stress management, time management, types of learners, speaking English, reading for understanding, learning vocabulary, peer-editing, and graphic organizers. If students are able to apply all of these skills, they should be able to be confident learners and active participants

Effective Teaching & Learning Process in the ClassroomAjay Kumar
Classroom teaching is always the most important as well challenging part of the education system. We need to cater all kind of learners and need to finish the syllabus in the best way. I just tried to add some points based on my experience.
Teaching writing
Of the 4 skills, writing is arguably the most problematic for learners and often the most challenging
for teachers. Writing is not easy particularly when compared with speaking, where
reformulations, body language, clues from listeners can do much to compensate for a lack of
precision or inaccuracies when communicating messages. Time is also a factor – writing may be
relegated to homework tasks as there is often a feeling that writing in class uses up time which can
be more usefully spent on other activities. However, as this workshop aims to show, developing
good writing skills is conducive to the development of other language skills including
communication skills.

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.

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.

1. Writing AC TIVITY
Nowhere in the university system is the
debate about the ‘crisis’ in education and
the ‘lowering of standards’ more intense
than in the arena of student writing.
(Lillis 2001)
2. Typically Students:
Working 20 or more hours per week
Supporting or raising families
Engaging in modules rather than courses…
Have little time:
to tackle new material
to practice their thinking/writing
to familiarise themselves with a bewildering
array of assessment engines
3. Imagine tackling
Presentations &
seminars Seen & unseen exams
Essays, reports,
Open or closed book
exams
papers, dissertations & Exams with differing time
projects limits
Case studies & child Exams with differing word
studies limits
Annotated
bibliographies AND that perennial favourite
Group work – with group
Reading Records mark awarded
Learning Logs Group work – with
Abstracts & individual mark awarded
Group work - with self-
Summaries and/or peer evaluation
4. Student responses to this:
I’ve been humiliated in ways I’d never have
put up with outside that institution
I am still not sure if my work is considered
academic, I still don’t know what makes
one of my essays better than another.
5. And:
Academic language, the kind of language that
doesn’t readily flow off my tongue: the type
of language I rarely use when speaking to
my peers. The type of language that I don’t
readily understand and the type of language
that means spending hours at a computer
turning something quite simple into
something that sounds moderately
impressive with elitist results.
6. Perhaps it is not that the trouble with
students is that they cannot write
But that the problem for students is that
they have to write when:
Insufficiently inducted into the epistemology,
discourse and content of a subject
Tackling new material, at new levels within
a variety of assessment engines
Having little opportunity to ‘write to learn’, to
practice their writing or to discover that …
Writing gets easier with practice. So …
7. Participant Activity
Free writing
Each person should have in front of them:
Two sheets of paper:
One, blank, to write upon,
One, the ‘commentary’ sheet, to note
reasons for not writing
Pens or pencils
8. Participant Activity
The Activity
When asked, turn to your blank paper and
write for ten minutes without pause (on
anything you see, hear, think or feel)
If you stop writing for any reason, write
that reason, no matter how trivial or
insignificant on the ‘commentary’ sheet.
After ten minutes we will discuss the
exercise, leaving enough time at the end
for the Q&A session
9. Participant Activity
Collate ‘reasons for stopping’
Discuss solutions
How will this help with future
writing?
10. Some reasons for stopping:
Thinking
Searching for a word, spelling, tense
Uncomfortable
Distracted
Couldn’t see the point
11. Some solutions …
Get into a good physical & mental space:
Be comfortable – your way
Accept the task – or fake it!
Brainstorm & plan before you write
Once you start – go with the flow
Don’t stop!
Do not search for the right word – re-
draft and improve later.
12. Writing …
How will this help with your writing?
