Literature review paper
This literature review examines research on the use of interactive whiteboards in foreign language learning. Several studies found that interactive whiteboards can increase student motivation and participation in class by making lessons more visual, interactive, and engaging. However, other factors like how the technology is utilized and whether it accommodates different learning styles are also important. Additionally, some research found improved student performance, like faster mastery of non-Roman scripts, while other studies noted performance gains may not be immediate. The efficiency of interactive whiteboards is mixed, as while teachers express confidence in the technology, it also requires extra time for lesson preparation and materials can become outdated quickly.

Impact of audiovisual aids in teaching home economics in secondary schools
ABSTRACT
The study attempted to investigate the appraising instructional materials as being used in secondary schools in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The study equally reviewed some important and extensive literatures under sub-headings. The descriptive research survey design was applied in the assessment of respondents’ opinions towards the subject matter. In this study, four null hypotheses were formulated and tested with the application of the independent t-test and the Pearson Product Moment Correltional Coefficient Statistical tools at 0.05 significance level. Also, the simple percentage frequency counts was used to analyse the questionnaire response of the selected respondents together with the research questions. A total of 100 (one hundred) respondents, 50 (fifty) male and 50 (fifty) female teachers were selected for this study. At the end of the data analyses, the following results were obtained: there is a significant relationship between teaching materials and teaching effectiveness among teachers in Akwa Ibom State public schools, there is a relationship between the availability of instructional resources and academic performance of students in public secondary schools in Akwa Ibom State, there is a significant relationship between teaching methods and students’ academic performance in Akwa Ibom State public schools and there is a significant gender in the academic performance of students due to the use of teaching materials in Akwa Ibom State public schools. Based on the conclusions reached at the end of this study, the following recommendations are made by the researcher: There should be allocation of more time to the practical aspects of educational technology in secondary schools, government should subsidise the cost of students’ practical work on Education Technology and graduates from other disciplines coming into teaching profession as a last resort due to high rate of unemployment; should be discouraged. This is because they are not well equipped for the tasks which they are to perform.

Based on the conclusions reached at the end of this study, the following recommendations are made by the researcher: There should be allocation of more time to the practical aspects of educational technology in secondary schools, government should subsidise the cost of students’ practical work on Education Technology and graduates from other disciplines coming into teaching profession as a last resort due to high rate of unemployment; should be discouraged. This is because they are not well equipped for the tasks which they are to perform.
The effect of using multimedia on english skills acquisition
This document discusses a study on the contribution of using multimedia on English acquisition among students in schools in Tangerang and Jakarta, Indonesia. The study utilized qualitative methods, including interviews with four English teachers from different school levels.
The interviews found that multimedia tools like laptops, projectors, and speakers helped make English lessons more engaging and interactive for students. However, the teachers noted individual and school factors also influence students' language acquisition beyond just multimedia use.
The document aims to further examine whether multimedia use highly contributes to improving students' English skills, which can be a challenge as English is not the first language in Indonesia. Student test scores will also be analyzed to validate teachers' perspectives on the impact of multimedia
Effects of Team Teaching on Students’ Academic Achievement In English Languag...
:This study examined the effects of Team Teaching Approach (TTA) on the achievement of students in
English language comprehension and how the effects vary across gender. The study employed non randomized
pretest-posttest control group quasi experimental design. Intact classes were therefore assigned to the
experimental and control groups. The population consisted of 5,171 senior secondary two students made up of
2,407 males and 2,764 females in Onitsha education zone of Anambra State. A total of 189 students (97 males
and 92 females) randomly selected from four public secondary schools constituted the sample. Two of the
schools selected were used as experimental group while the other two were used as the control group. Two
research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. Data were collected with one comprehension
passage. Data generated were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions
while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. The major findings showed that the
students taught English language comprehension with team teaching approach achieved significantly higher
than those of the control group who were taught with single teacher teaching approach. The female students in
TTA group achieved significantly higher than their male counterparts Based on the finding of this study, it was
recommended that team teaching approach should be adopted as a more effective approach to teaching and
learning English language comprehension in public secondary schools to enhance academic achievement of
students in the subject.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of concept maps and lecture teaching methods on achievement and retention of organic chemistry concepts among senior secondary school students in Nigeria. Specifically, it examined: 1) The influence of each teaching method on achievement and retention scores, 2) The influence of gender on scores with each method, and 3) The interaction between teaching method and gender on scores. A quasi-experimental design was used with pre- and post-tests to compare scores of students taught with concept maps versus lecture. The study found that concept maps led to higher achievement and retention than lecture alone. Gender differences in scores were also found to depend on the teaching method used.

The document summarizes a study on engineering undergraduates' perceptions of collaborative teaching and learning approaches at Jawzjan University in Afghanistan. The key findings were:
1) Students preferred classes with lots of group work, pair work, and activities rather than teacher-centered lectures. Most students strongly agreed they wanted these collaborative activities.
2) Students also preferred that the teacher act as a facilitator or guide for the class rather than solely lecturing. Over half of students strongly disagreed with teacher-centered classes without student activities.
3) Benefits of collaborative learning discussed in the literature include improved self-confidence, more positive attitudes towards the subject, and opportunities for both stronger and weaker students to learn.

EFFECTIVENESS OF HEUTAGOGY INTEGRATED E-CONTENT MODULES ON UNDESTANDING OSMOS...International Educational Applied Scientific Research Journal (IEASRJ)
The learning teaching process has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years. It has shifted from teacher centred to student centred. Hence, the challenge of a teacher has become as to how to cater to the needs of all types of learners in the classroom when their learning styles vary according to their individual needs. Heutagogy is a technique of self-determined learning with practices and principles rooted from andragogy that could be responsible for the developments in higher education. This technique coupled with e-content is an innovative strategy that provides multi-sensory experience to the learners. The learners can visualize the entire content and attain mastery over the topics. In the present study, the e-content on osmosis was developed and given to the tertiary learners for learning. Pre-test and post-test were administered to the samples to ascertain the effectiveness of heutagogy integration into e-content. The results of the study revealed that e-content with heutagogical approach for learners of higher education were effective.30
This document summarizes a study on teaching writing to 8th grade students using picture-based methods. It found that:
1) Students taught writing using pictures as a medium showed greater improvement in their writing abilities compared to students taught without pictures, with their average scores increasing over 10 points versus 6 points for the control group.
2) A t-test analysis found a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups, indicating that using pictures was an effective way to teach writing.
3) By looking at pictures, students were better able to arrange words and sentences for writing assignments compared to relying solely on textbooks.
Blended learning - Online Learning and Traditional Learning
Blended learning can increase flexibility for learners in several ways:
- It allows learners to access course content and materials online, so they can learn anywhere at any time, not just during scheduled class meetings. This provides more flexibility over when and where they learn.
- The online components allow learners to review lectures, lessons, and materials at their own pace. They aren't constrained by the pace of the entire class.
- By moving some content online, it frees up class time that can then be used for more interactive, applied, and personalized learning activities like discussions, projects, labs, etc. This shifts the focus to applied, active learning during face-to-face meetings.

Student engagement can be demonstrated in various ways depending on the classroom. The purpose is to share research-based, effective engagement strategies.
Breaking down barriers to effective efl communication a look at sense making ...
The present “new wave” investigation tackles cutting-edge perspectives of one of the most pressing problems – breaking down the barriers to effective fluent English communication. The publication reflects a broad array of stud-ies in the area of methodology of teaching English. The investigation distills the research about sense-making techniques in the language awareness. The paper reveals obstacles and reasons for language barriers to fluent English communication. The author demonstrates an alternative way of approaching the problem of English as a foreign language acquisition. We undertake the empirical investigation of how foreign languages are learnt and taught using sense-making techniques. A foreign language should become a personal need for students allowing them to set goals, choose language improvement strategies, and exercise self-esteem and self-control. Against the backdrops of research, the experiment was carried out. Those tested were 85 students of Southern Federal University, Russia. They were split into two groups: a control group of tertiary participants who were given an instruction using traditional methods of teaching English; and a second group –experimental one implementing sense-making techniques in learning a target language.
Using studio based learning for enhancing efl preservice
This document summarizes a research study that investigated the effects of a studio-based learning approach on enhancing preservice English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. The study involved dividing participants into an experimental group that received training in a collaborative studio classroom focused on classroom management and lesson planning, and a control group that received traditional lectures on the same topics. Results of pre- and post-tests of pedagogical knowledge and an assessment of pedagogical content knowledge found that the experimental group performed significantly better, indicating that studio-based learning had a greater positive impact on developing these areas of teacher knowledge compared to traditional lecturing. The research recommends giving more

This document discusses the history and applications of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). It defines CALL as using computer technologies to support language teaching and learning. CALL can promote in-depth learning, increase engagement, and build global connections. However, many teachers are reluctant to integrate technology due to lack of training and support. The document advocates for action research where teachers experiment with CALL applications in their own classrooms to overcome barriers and improve practice.
EFFECTS OF CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK ON LEARNERS OF ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL)
This paper attempts to probe the effects of corrective feedback on English as Second Language (ESL) students’ motivation, achievement and performance. After reviewing seven theses and twenty-seven research papers, it has been noticed that corrective feedback has exhibited remarkable effectiveness in
boosting learners’ motivation, achievement and performance when learning second languages. However, other research underscored that corrective feedback impinges learners’ performance and motivation negatively. Hence, further research needs to be conducted to probe the effectiveness of corrective feedback when incorporated in other foreign languages, and various subject matters

Lowering Foreign Language Anxiety through Technology: A Case of Iranian EFL S...English Literature and Language Review ELLR
This study focused on fostering learning experiences and improving students’ oral communicative potential by lowering their anxiety through technology. The participants were EFL students at the Zand Higher Education Institute in Shiraz, Iran. Their responses to the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (Horwitz et al., 1986) proved that they were suffering from some emotional factors; particularly anxiety interfering with their second language acquisition process. Voice Thread, an on-line program was introduced to them as a tool to achieve the above-mentioned goals. An oral survey based on items used by Von Worde (2003) showed this group of EFL language learners’ anxiety was alleviated by using the proposed tool. As speaking is one of the main productive skills in second language learning, the pedagogical implications of the study can be beneficial to both teachers and learners. The results can help teachers match instruction to learners’ needs.

1) The Triple Talaq Bill aims to criminalize the practice of instant triple talaq among Muslims but the author argues it has a communal agenda of bringing in a Uniform Civil Code.
2) Existing laws like the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 already protect women's rights and there is no need for a separate law only for Muslim women.
3) Imposing criminal liability for uttering talaq thrice is illogical as the Supreme Court has already ruled it does not dissolve the marriage, and it could further marginalize Muslim women.

This document summarizes a presentation on the negative consequences of austerity policies through public expenditure cuts. The presentation discusses how austerity aims to reduce debt and deficits through lower spending and higher taxes. However, evidence from several European countries shows that austerity had unintended consequences like harming healthcare systems, increasing health inequalities, damaging work-life balance, and reducing life expectancy. The conclusion proposes setting reasonable constitutional limits on expenditures and minimum levels for key investments and services to prevent disproportionate austerity measures from causing further social issues.

This study examined how cultural dynamics influence perceptions of workplace bullying among managerial employees in Sri Lanka. A survey was administered to 230 managers in the fast-moving consumer goods industry. The findings showed that person-related bullying, such as ignoring and insulting colleagues, was more prevalent than work-related bullying behaviors. Additionally, some behaviors considered bullying in Western contexts, such as off-hand remarks and jokes, were viewed as normal occurrences. The study suggests that what constitutes bullying may differ across cultures. The results contribute to conceptualizing workplace bullying in Asian cultures and can help organizations design interventions to promote healthy and just work environments.

This document summarizes a study on legal protections for victims of domestic violence in Peru. The study aimed to assess whether Peruvian laws sufficiently address violence against women and are efficiently implemented. Through interviews and data analysis, the study found that while Peruvian laws do sufficiently address the issue, implementation is inefficient due to lack of resources. For example, laws mandate support services for victims but services are underfunded and inaccessible in some areas. The case study also examines factors that make women in Ayacucho especially vulnerable to violence. In conclusion, more resources are needed to properly enact existing laws and protect women across Peru.

This study analyzes land cover changes in Kadawatha Sub Urban area in Sri Lanka between 1989 and 2016 to examine urban sprawl. Spatial analysis of land use digital data found that home gardens increased, especially beyond 1km from the urban core, as people established residences further out. Other agricultural lands like rubber and coconut declined significantly as land was converted to residential use. Paddy lands were largely abandoned. Overall, Kadawatha has developed ideal suburban characteristics over the past 30 years, with non-agricultural uses expanding into peripheral areas and more commercial development concentrated within 1km of the urban center. Urban sprawl can be understood from the increase in housing beyond the initial 1km buffer zone.

Health and environmental consciousness, common attributes of organic foods, and market availability are key determinants of Sri Lankan consumers' purchase intention of organic foods. A survey of 144 organic food consumers in 6 Sri Lankan cities found that over half were female aged 31-45. While consumers were aware of organic foods' values, lack of availability was a constraint. Improving awareness, accessibility, and certification could help stimulate demand. Policymakers should promote health benefits and support farmers to increase organic production and market conditions.

This study quantified the role of seed contamination as a source of weedy rice infestation and spread in four provinces in Sri Lanka. Seed samples were collected from farmers in these provinces and tested for weedy rice contamination. The results showed that the majority of farmers used their own seed or seeds from neighboring farmers, which were contaminated with 19-73% weedy rice seeds. This means farmers were seeding 46,000 to 60,000 weedy rice seeds per hectare. The study concluded that contaminated seed paddy is a main source of weedy rice infestation and spread in the studied areas due to farmers' lack of awareness about weedy rice and use of certified seeds.

- 9. DISCUSSION As Allen, Kate and Marquez (2011, p 1-5) stated, “Visual aids impact and add interest to a presentation. They can create excitement. Visual aids enable students to use more than one sense at the same time. One picture can elicit unlimited words”. So, variation can be brought into the classroom through various visuals. These different visual tools enhance the learners’ focus on to the topics. When different pictures related to the topic of the lesson are used in a class, it makes the class environment livelier and provides the learners with some outlines of the topic. In the same line, Mathew and Alidmat (2013) realized that audio-visual materials will make lessons easily understandable. Compared to descriptive reading materials, images a learner sees on the screen can be comprehended and remembered easier. In this way, students believe they can recall the information for a longer time, because of the use of audio-visual props. Harmer (2001) also stated that utilization of pictures in the classroom increases the learners’ interest in the lesson. He drew out attention to the fact that recent textbooks and newspapers are intentionally designed in a way to seize the readers’ interest. Also, images enhance the text by providing readers with a view of the outside world. As a result, having something visual on the lesson is always fruitful and practical for the learners.
