Affected by exam-oriented education, many teachers and students pay more attention to written knowledge in the process of English learning in junior high schools in Zhejiang Province. Students’ ability of oral English is not as good as written expression, especially in areas where economic development is relatively slow. This paper aims to find out the factors that affect the oral communication ability of junior high school students in Zhoushan through the field investigation of Ningbo and Zhoushan. It can provide direction and reference for improving students' oral English ability in economically underdeveloped areas in the future.

This study examines depression in students at public high schools in Taiwan. The purpose of this study is to examine which student-level and teacher-level variables affect student depression due to teacher emotional overinvolvement and other factors. A survey instrument adapted and translated from existing surveys was distributed to 1,479 Taiwanese adolescents aged 13—15 years and 172 teachers from 10 public junior high schools in the city of Taipei. The hierarchical linear model (HLM) was used for a cross-level analysis of the data. The HLM shows that student-level measures account for most of the variance. Teacher emotional overinvolvement and core self-evaluations are the preponderant influences on student ratings. In terms of teacher-level variables, the effects of teacher involvement, teacher depression, and teacher educational background on student-level variables are strong and significant. The findings of this study recommend the development of a comprehensive counseling system for teachers and students.

The ability of mathematical communication is the skill to communicate mathematics that is learned and the skill of using mathematics as a communication tool (mathematical language). Mathematical communication skills are very necessary in learning. Without mathematical communication skills, a person will not be able to deliver statements according to their desire. This qualitative descriptive study aims to describe the level of mathematical communication ability of junior high school students in solving open ended problems with the topic of functional graphs. The method of collecting data through written tests and interviews. Written tests were given to 115 8th grade students of junior high schools in Surabaya, followed by interviews of one student at each level of mathematical communication ability. The results showed 51 people (44%) were at fourth level, 27 people (24%) at third level, 23 people (20%) at second level, and 14 people (12%) at first level. Students at fourth level and third level are equally able to use mathematical language that was accurate and effective, and appropriate in providing the strategies. But it was different in giving the arguments. Students at second level can not provide logical arguments, the mathematical language used was less effective and accurate, and the strategies used were precise but incomplete. Students at first level did not provide the right strategies because the lack of information which contained in the story, did not provide responses more to the stories they have been written, and did not demonstrate the ability to use mathematical language that was  accurate and effective.

Student motivation is always a central concern of the junior high school teacher, particularly in mathematics. In the present article we offer a sample unit of mathematics instruction suitable for junior high school students, with two purposes in mind: (1) to illustrate a current theory of learning and motivation, and (2) to offer a model for the construction of other such units. The unit is purposely built around division, since that topic is commonly disliked by both teachers and students.

E-learning dramatically changes the learning process. As a result, both teachers and students have to work hard to adapt to the process. In response to these changes, this study aims to analyze the perceptions of junior high school, senior high school, and parents regarding online learning. This study involved 44 parents, 24 junior high school students, and 20 high school students. Data were collected using two questionnaires. The data collected were analyzed quantitatively in the form of percentages. The results of data analysis show that junior high school students use computers/devices for online learning activities; however, they consider traditional methods (live class meetings) to be more appropriate than online learning. (2) High school students also use their computers/devices for online learning and have full support from their teachers, but they prefer traditional methods. They consider traditional methods more effective than online learning, and (3) parents prefer traditional methods over online learning. Therefore, teachers are advised to be creative in teaching online; parents are expected to continue to control their students' online learning. More research is needed so that more information about online learning can be obtained.
