The present study aims at investigating the students’ learning styles in EFL classes at university level.  Being aware of the students’ preferences and feedback concerning the way teachers teach and run their classes is important to ensure the success of the process of teaching and learning. Neglecting the students’ feedback and preferences in the class might affect the process of teaching and learning negatively. To avoid such a problem, the present study equips the teachers with a way to deal with different learning environments and class diversity. To achieve the aims of the study, a questionnaire of 20 items on the different learning preferences was designed by the researcher to collect data from 40 EFL seniors (23 males and 17 females) at University of Zakho during the academic year 2020-2021.The items included in the questionnaire are based on Fleming’s (2006) VARK model of learning styles with adaptation.  VARK is an acronym referring to the four types of learners: Visual, Aural, Read and Write, and Kinesthetic. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS Software version 22 through One-Sample T-Test and Independent-Paired Samples T-Test. The results show that the students prefer using the board and taking notes during the lecture and dislike attending online lectures via Zoom and Google Meet platforms. They also do not prefer recorded PowerPoint lectures uploaded to the Moodle. This is an indication that locking universities and adopting a blended system of teaching due to Covid-19 has affected the process of teaching as well as learning negatively. This study can be considered as a road map for EFL teachers when launching teaching any module since it takes into consideration what the students are interested in, namely class diversity and students’ preferences.

Reasoning Skills

Reasoning skills are very important in encouraging students to think more critically and logically, as depicted in the Malaysian Education Development Plan (2013-2025). Therefore, this study looked into improving the Differentiation Reasoning Level (DRL) of reasoning skills among students for a topic in the Additional Mathematics subject,  known as Differentiation, through reasoning learning strategy. The study participants consisted of a total of 31 students from a secondary boarding school in Johor, selected through a purposive sampling method. A pre-test was carried out for the participants, from the advanced level, followed by a number of repetition tests, before the post-test assessment was conducted. The data collection for this study employed a set of Reasoning Test on Differentiation (RTD) and 10 sets of learning activities on Differentiation based on modified Marzano Rubric for Specific Task of Situations (1992). This dimension involved four types of reasoning skills, namely,  comparison, classification, inductive, and deductive. The survey data, through paired samples t-test, revealed a significant difference between the mean scores in pre-test and post-test (p <0.05). In addition, the paired sample t-test showed a significant difference on the level of reasoning among students from each construct in the reasoning skills before and after using this module. In conclusion, the Marzano Model of Dimensional Learning (1992) is a thinking skill model that can help improve students' reasoning skills. The model covers analysis aspects of what has been learned by implementing the process of identifying reasons, which will help students to add and expand their knowledge. The findings also implied that, the processes of teaching and learning play an important role in ensuring students’ capability to emphasize on the implementation process of reasoning skills

This research aims to find out whether or not any significant effect of the Dictogloss technique on upgrading students’ competence in writing narrative text. The subjects of this research were all students in class XI MIA 5 of SMAN 4 Kendari which consisted of 34 students, but only 32 students who were participated in the pre-test and post-test. The researcher collected data by given pre-test to know students’ writing competence. The treatment conducted in teaching and learning process by applying Dictogloss technique. The post-test to know students’ writing competence after being taught by applying Dictogloss technique. The data were analyzed by using paired samples t test. The result showed that the use of Dictogloss technique is significantly influenced students’ writing competence which is reflected by the enhanmcement of students mean score from pre-test to post-test. It can be seen from the mean score of post-test is 77,78, while the mean score of pre-test is 53,19. Furthermore, the result of hypothesis testing showed that the value of Sig.(2 tailed) was 0,000 while the significance ρ value is 0,05, means that (H0) is rejected and (H1) is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of applying Dictogloss technique on upgrading students’ competence in writing narrative test of SMAN 4 Kendari.
