For Iraqi EFL learners who are studying English pronunciation in a traditional instruction method often requires more effort and hard work. Thus, using new methods of teaching such as the flipped classroom model (FCM) is necessary to facilitate learning and improve performance. Hence, this study reports on explanatory research that investigates the effect of using the FCM in the teaching of English pronunciation for Iraqi EFL learners at the university level. The study implemented mixed research methods for data collection in a quasi-experimental analysis. Therefore, two tests were conducted on the assigned groups to measure the effect of the FCM before and after the intervention. Besides, a questionnaire and interviews were used on the experiment group students to collect data about their perceptions of the FCM. The study length (lasted)  was 15 weeks and is comprised of 60 students from the department of English, College of Arts at the University of Anbar. The students were divided into two groups, experimental, and control with 30 students in each group. The findings revealed that there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups in favour of the experimental group with better performance, indicating that the FCM has considerably assisted the Iraqi EFL learners to improve their English pronunciation. Moreover, the students expressed their positive feedback and satisfaction on the use of the FCM in their responses to the questionnaire and the interviews. As such, the current study recommends further research to study the effect of applying the FCM in areas and disciplines other than language learning.

Digital storytelling has been around in foreign language contexts for at least two decades and showed to be a promising technique for teaching different language skills. This study aimed at investigating the effect of using two types of digital storytelling, i.e. asynchronous and synchronous digital storytelling, on the EFL learners' speaking performance in terms of accuracy and fluency. To this end, a quasi-experimental design with an experimental and a comparison group was devised. Sixty-five intermediate EFL learners were conveniently selected based on their scores on Oxford Placement Test. The speaking module of Preliminary English Test (PET) was used to measure the participants' speaking accuracy and fluency before and after the intervention. The results of the study indicated that both groups made a significant improvement after the course. Nevertheless, the asynchronous digital storytelling group outperformed the synchronous one after the intervention.

Background: Muscle wasting is one of extrapulmonary manifestations that occur in 20-40% of patients with COPD as a result of an imbalance of protein synthesis and degradation, where it is thought to be a consequence of chronic inflammation. One of the factor that affect muscle wasting is nutritional factor. The purpose of this study is to prove that nutrition therapy can improve inflammation (measured by levels of leptin, adiponectin) further improve muscle wasting and improve the quality of life of patients COPD with muscle wasting. Method: The clinical study design is pre and post auto control quasi experimental in stable COPD patients with comorbid muscle wasting. The experiment was conducted in Pulmonary Outpatient Clinic Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital and Physiology Laboratory of Medical Faculty Brawijaya University. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was diagnosed based on 2014 GOLD criteria. Muscle wasting was diagnosed through examination of the BIA. Levels of leptin and adiponectin was measured using ELISA method, and quality of life was assessed using CAT score. We measured BIA, Leptin, Adiponectin and CAT in 32 COPD patients with muscle wasting, before and after 12 weeks supplementation of Opiocephalus striatus extract 3x1000mg/day. Results: There were significant increased of BMI (p = 0.046), no significant increase of FFMI (p = 0506), a significant decrease in leptin levels (p = 0.000) and a significant increase in adiponectin levels (p = 0.048) and improvement of quality of life (score CAT) (p = 0.000) ) after administration of opiocephalus striatus extract for 12 weeks. Conclusion: Suplementation of Opiocephalus striatus extract for 12 weeks can improve BMI, decrease levels of leptin and increase level of adiponectin resulting in improvement of quality of life in stable COPD patients with muscle wasting.

The purpose of this study was to find out whether the CTL model was effective in improving the narrative essay writing skills of grade 6 elementary school students. The research design used was a Quasi experimental study. Based on the results of research conducted, it is known that the pretest data of the experimental and control classes are normally distributed and homogeneous. The pretest t-value is smaller than the t-table price (-0.081 <1.647) and the significance (0.935> 0.05), meaning that HO is accepted. This shows that there is no difference in the average score of narrative essay writing skills between the control class and the experimental class at the time of the pretest. Posttest t-count value is greater than t-table price (2.153> 2,000) and significance (0.036 <0.05). Ha was accepted and HO was rejected. Ha accepted means that there is a difference in the average score of narrative essay writing skills between the control class and the experimental class, ie the average experimental class is higher with a mean difference of 0.1552. Large increase in the experimental class can be seen in the average normalized gain of 0.357 or included in the medium category, while the control class 0.209 included in the low category. The effectiveness of the CTL model is expected to be a consideration for grade 6 teachers to apply the CTL model to Indonesian language learning with other aspects or material. The application of the CTL model is expected to be one of the innovative models for effective Indonesian language learning
