A decline in number of credit hours of English courses for English-majoring students at National University of Mongolia is forcing teachers and students to focus on how to learn English more effectively and what factors would affect that process within credit hours allowed at the university. However, the English teaching class hours in Mongolian secondary schools have been increasing for the last few years, due to the interest in learning English as a foreign language, and resulting in a growth in the demand for English teachers. This study has a goal to investigate into motivation of English-majoring students towards learning English and the factors affecting them to be demotivated. Twenty students studying English as a major at National University of Mongolia, Erdenet School completed the research questionnaire  which intended to discover English learning motivation through 12 items and attended focus group interview with 5 questions to find internal and external demotivating factors in 2019-2020 academic year. The students had instrumental orientation and demonstrated a strong desire to learn English. Furthermore, they were demotivated by their teachers’ and classmates’ attitudes and living conditions. The researchers suggested some recommendations based on the study findings.

AbstractThe author reports her experience of and observations on the teaching of sociology at the Free University of Berlin. She examines the teaching behavior of the instructors, the relationship between colleagues, and those between teachers and students. Certain tendencies in the practice of teaching are viewed as expressing a form of coping by projection with the failures experienced in trying to reform studies, failures that are in fact caused by the unfavorable real conditions at the university. A tendency to make university teaching more like schooling is observed; reasons for this are found in the effects of pressure towards professional competition, which prevents both fruitful cooperation between instructors and genuine communication with students. The additional difficulties experienced by women in teaching are described. In the final section conclusions are drawn in the form of practical suggestions which take account of the actual possibilities of a university with very large numbers of students.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of various teaching methods used in higher education and the perception of the students regarding these methods. In order to determine the possible ways to obtain strategic advantages and benefit from the strengths, the university has to know what drives foreign students in choosing a certain study program, even if it is outside their country of origin. At the same time, knowing the disadvantages that prevent them from doing so, helps the university include ways to correct the weaknesses or to offer solutions to them. The students, participating in this research, are enrolled at the European University in Madrid, from different study programs and degrees (license, master and doctoral programs) and were asked to answer a questionnaire about the use of teaching methods, about their perceptions upon effective teaching and the reasons that have determined them to choose to follow a study program. The results were in favor of a higher use of projects, group activities and case studies during classes and seminars at the European University of Madrid and of using new technologies in the educational system (e-learning, simulations, use of intranet, and activities in laboratories). As a primer characteristic searched for when choosing a study program, the students mentioned practice, mainly for developing abilities useful for applying for a job as soon as possible. It is, therefore, important to analyze the teaching methods and this research helps us understand how students see the teaching process and which are the methods that help them to better understand and to be more active during classes. Key words: creativity development, innovative teaching, practical activities, teaching methods.

Student engagement is the time, effort and energy that students spend on all educational activities that enhance their learning ability. The improvement of student engagement is the principal aim of the Learning in Law project embarked upon by the Department of Mercantile Law at the University of the Free State (UFS), South Africa. One of the aims of the project, which is run in collaboration with the university’s Centre for Teaching and Learning, is to help lecturers develop innovative teaching methods and techniques to ensure in-class student engagement. As modern-day students are used to fast access to information, entertainment and social activity via their mobile devices, new teaching methods to catch and hold their attention and promote participation are needed. This contribution not only makes the case for new ways of teaching law in a changing higher education environment, but also suggests specific steps and techniques to be considered, drawing from the experience of the UFS’s Department of Mercantile Law.

Practicum is always an important and indispensable component in a training program  in general and a foreign language teacher education program in particular. Through this activity, students will be able to put their acquired knowledge into practice, thereby shortening the gap of "apprenticeship" of young graduates. To assess the appropriateness of the current teaching practicum at the University of Languages and International Studies  - Vietnam National University, Hanoi (ULIS-VNU), the study has conducted a survey with 30 teachers and 100 students. The initial results show that in terms of practicum duration and implementation time, most teachers required that the duration should be increased because 06 weeks was not enough for students to practice and learn from experience. However, most students believed that the current internship was reasonable in the final semester of the training program. Concerning the time of starting the internship, the majority of teachers said that students should start their internship in the last semester when they had sufficient foreign language skills and pedagogical skills; students conversely preferred to practice earlier. In terms of skills and knowledge that need to be equipped for students, all participants agreed that the training of soft skills should be added. In terms of the highschools that receive student teachers, most participants believed that those should be selected by the university; however, the schools’ level of support and effectiveness in guiding students were not highly appreciated. The initial findings of this study may serve as suggestions for the continous revision and improved facilitation of the teaching practicum activities at ULIS-VNU to achieve the goals of training prospective student-teachers.

Teachers’ response to student writing is a vital, though neglected, aspect of second language composition research. This present study adds to previous research through the development and implementation of an original study which investigates the current feedback-giving practice of the teachers and their students’ opinions on feedback as well as their recommendations for improving it. The subjects involved in the study were 200 second-year students and 20 teachers at the University of Languages and International Studies (ULIS) under Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU) who are currently teaching or have taught writing before. These teachers and students were invited to join the survey, to answer the questionnaires, to participate in the interview, and to provide the source for observation. The research reveals that there exist a lot of problems concerning teachers’ responding methods, their feedback focus, their frequent types and forms of feedback as well as what they have actually done to help their students process feedback successfully. Meanwhile, the students report their opinions and preferences for more effective teachers’ feedback, which clearly reveals the mismatch between what the teachers often give and what the students would like to get. On this basis, the study recommends several important directions for teachers to utilize in improving their feedback, helping students process feedback more effectively and thus creating a condition in which learners learn to write more easily and successfully
