Purpose: Conducting meaningful interactions in the target language is essential for language learning. However, in many English language classrooms in China, it is rare that students are provided with such opportunities. In the current study, we presented and critically evaluated the implementation of a small-group discussion approach called Quality Talk (QT) in an eighth-grade English language classroom in China. Design/Approach/Methods: One eighth-grade English teacher and 82 eighth-grade students in a public middle school in Beijing participated in the study using a pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental design. Recordings of teacher coaching sessions and student discussions, researchers’ field notes, and participating teacher’s written reflections were used to identify successful practices and lessons learned with respect to the implementation of QT. Implications for future directions were also discussed. Findings: The results revealed that to successfully implement a discourse-intensive pedagogical approach in a large English language class, it is essential that (a) the materials used for discussion closely align with the school curriculum, (b) students are grouped heterogeneously and scaffolded to engage in discussions both in their native and target languages, and (c) student leadership be leveraged to facilitate discussion in each small group. Originality/Value: The present study delineated the details with respect to implementing a discourse-intensive pedagogical approach in an eighth-grade English classroom in China. We derived several key insights from recontextualizing QT in an English learning, large class context in China. These insights might hold the potential to improve the effectiveness of English teaching and learning in China.

Petri nets are a mathematical apparatus for modelling dynamic discrete systems. Their feature is the ability to display parallelism, asynchrony and hierarchy. First was described by Karl Petri in 1962 [1,2,8]. The Petri net is a bipartite oriented graph consisting of two types of vertices - positions and transitions connected by arcs between each other; vertices of the same type cannot be directly connected. Positions can be placed by tags (markers) that can move around the network. [2] Petri Nets (PN) used for modelling real systems is sometimes referred to as Condition/Events nets. Places identify the conditions of the parts of the system (working, idling, queuing, and failing), and transitions describe the passage from one state to another (end of a task, failure, repair...). An event occurs (a transition fire) when all the conditions are satisfied (input places are marked) and give concession to the event. The occurrence of the event entirely or partially modifies the status of the conditions (marking). The number of tokens in a place can be used to identify the number of resources lying in the condition denoted by that place [1,2,8]. Coloured Petri nets (CPN) is a graphical oriented language for design, specification, simulation and verification of systems [3-6,9,15]. It is in particular well-suited for systems that consist of several processes which communicate and synchronize. Typical examples of application areas are communication protocols, distributed systems, automated production systems, workflow analysis and VLSI chips. In the Classical Petri Net, tokens do not differ; we can say that they are colourless. Unlike standard Petri nets in Colored Petri Net of a position can contain tokens of arbitrary complexity, such as lists, etc., that enables modelling to be more reliable. The article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of modelling Colored Petri nets. The article discusses the interrelation of languages of the Colored Petri nets and traditional formal languages. The Venn diagram, which the author has modified, shows the relationship between the languages of the Colored Petri nets and some traditional languages. The language class of the Colored Petri nets includes a whole class of Context-free languages and some other classes. The paper shows modelling the task synchronization Patil using Colored Petri net, which can't be modeled using well- known operations P and V or by classical Petri network, since the operations P and V and classical Petri networks have limited mathematical properties which do not allow to model the mechanisms in which the process should be synchronized with the optimal allocation of resources.

This article aims to describe: the implementation of the SQ3R model to the ability to examine the characters contained in fiction texts in grade IV students of SDN Ganung Kidul 1 Nganjuk in the 2019/2020 Academic Year. This article is an descriptive qualitative research carried out through five stages, namely: (1) data collection; (2) determination of the sample; (3) recording data; (4) reduction; and (5) drawing conclusions. Data sources in this article are journals and books relating to the learning of the SQ3R model on learning to examine the characters contained in fiction texts. These data provide an overview of the application of the SQ3R model on the ability to examine the characters contained in fictional texts. Furthermore, the object of the research is the learning model SQ3R with a subject of 22 students. The conclusion of the article shows that: this SQ3R model is very good to be applied to the basic competencies of Indonesian language class IV semester II, namely the ability to examine the characters contained in fiction texts.
