Increasingly it is recognised that universities are preparing students for an uncertain future. Accordingly, key graduate attributes of Massey University’s redeveloped Bachelor of Arts degree are critical reading and writing skills and engaged citizenship. The authors teach two large first-year courses in these topics. Student engagement is critical in these courses because the student cohort is diverse, the courses are compulsory, and the topics are developmental. Some of the assessments have been designed to engage students with the use of personal experience as a strategy for critical reading and writing. While not without its challenges, this approach has proven to be effective: emotionally engaging students and enabling them to critically reflect on themselves and the world around them through the development of connected skills and dispositions in critical reading and writing.

Online teaching and learning (T&L) is a new norm in the education system. This study was conducted to identify the challenges and impacts of online learning on the reading and writing literacy of primary school students. The research approach used was quantitative. The study sample consisted of 109 Level 2 students who were randomly selected in Pekan and Muadzam Shah Districts, Pahang. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Questionnaire data were analyzed through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 software. The findings of the study showed that the challenges of online learning and the impacts of online learning on reading skills were at a moderate level with mean = 3.07 and mean = 2.46 respectively. The impact of online learning on writing skills was at a low level with a mean = 2.21. T-test inferential analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the impacts of online learning by gender on reading and writing skills. The correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between internet access and the impacts of online learning on reading and writing skills. These findings indicated that stable internet access improves students’ online reading and writing skills. Therefore, the study found that the reading and writing skills of Level 2 students were at a moderately satisfactory level even though the learning was implemented online.

<p>Language forms the medium of communication through verbal and nonverbal means which help to develop understanding. The communication and pedagogy are part and parcel of each other as well as the teaching process. The aims of teaching could not be achieved without better communication between teacher and students. The present study was thus planned to analyze the effect of PEELI (Punjab Education and English Language Initiative) training on communication skills of primary school teachers. The findings showed that the educators recruited in 2017 and 2018 have found PEELI interesting and innovative. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four dimensions of communication. PEELI training has assisted them in enhancing speaking and writing skills of learners. However, they feel difficulty in developing and interacting learners in listening and reading. They look for more modules and sessions to be organized to cover all the four aspects of communication to develop better interaction with learners. It is recommended to overcome the drawbacks in future training policies thus to bridge the communication gaps between teachers and students of primary schools.</p>
