Developments in mobile phone technology, together with an increased research interest in utilizing computer games to facilitate teaching and learning, are an important catalyst for the emergence of the area of mobile, location-based computer games in schools. This article describes both the design process and an evaluation of Premierløytnant Bielke, a mobile, location-based game for teaching and learning history using mobile phones. We argue that by using the surroundings and milieu that are local to the students in a playful context, we can support the construction of meaning related to the subject of history in a way that is both engaging and worthwhile.

By adopting a Dick and Carey model, thepurpose of this study was to develop a multimedia humour model for the teaching of Malay narrative writing and test the effectiveness of the model in the classroom. This study was conducted to a group of 29 students at SekolahMenengahKebangsaan Syed Mashor, Batang Kali, Selangor. The research design was quasi experimental involving single group pre-test and post-test design. Following this design, participants were selected, pre-tested, and exposed to the multimedia video (animation) and then post-tested. The instrument used in this research was the writing test on Malay narrative focusing on cleanliness. Descriptive quantitative analysis was employed on the findings (frequency, percentage and mean) followed by a comparison of pre-test and post-test. The findings show that there were significant differences between the pre and post-test. In the post-test, the mean score for the participants after receiving the intervention were higher than the mean scores for the pre-test. The findings also reveal that the use of visual images (animation), sound and graphic through multimedia video for teaching Malay narrative writing help the students to improve their vocabularies and writing skills. Thus, teachers may also adopt this type of learning approach to attract student’s attention towards the subject and hence, improve their academic performance of a particular subject.

This case study examines the vocabulary gains made by an adult learner of English as a second language as a result of performing four communication tasks. Gains were measured on comparisons of pre- and post-tests of vocabulary from the worksheets from the four tasks. These gains are discussed in relation to the interactional processes involving unfamiliar vocabulary. Explicit negotiation of word meaning appeared less deterministic of post-test improvements than use of words in the process of completing the task. While this result may to some extent be an artifact of test design, it is also true that when the group actively used vocabulary which was unfamiliar to the subject of this study, the embedding of this vocabulary in the context of the task and its interactive use are likely to have provided not only important information about word meaning but also the conditions whereby that meaning could be acquired. The placement of a word on task worksheets and the nature of a task, whether a split information task or a shared information task, both had a strong effect on use and acquisition of new vocabulary. © 1995, Sage Publications.

Teacher Deployment Program Activities in Schools (PDS) are very beneficial for the lecturers and the school as well as LPTK. The Teacher Deployment Program in Schools (PDS) has a symbiotic nature of mutualism, meaning that it benefits both parties, both the school and the Lecturer and LPTK. An innovative learning model that can encourage students' understanding of Japanese vocabulary mastery. One form of innovative learning models is the Word Square learning model. Word Square learning model can be used to encourage students 'understanding of the subject matter, can train students' discipline, can train their attitudes carefully and critically and can stimulate students to think effectively. Of the 20 students who were tested in the pre-test before applying the Word Squared learning model in studying Japanese vocabulary can be seen from the results of the average grade of 49.5. Whereas after using the Word Square learning model, the progress of learning outcomes is so well evidenced by the average grade of the post-test that reaches 90.15. This proves that the application of the Word Square learning model in learning Japanese vocabulary plays a big role in a teaching and learning system, especially for education.
