Children nowadays have insufficient vocabulary, difficulties in expressing their opinion and expressing themselves, difficulties in asking questions and answering them. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is important to improve child's speech and vocabulary, which includes all of the aforementioned elements. Even after eliminating the pronunciation disorders of the sounds s-z and sh-zh, it is necessary to develop the active and passive vocabulary, to ensure that as many words as possible are in the active vocabulary. It is important to improve the grammatical structure of the language, so that children can form longer simple extended sentences instead of sentences consisting of 2-3 words. It is necessary to work on improving the conversational language, so that children, when answering questions, can substantiate their thoughts, attitudes, are able to perceive the essence of the content, preserve it and express themselves in the end. The paper provides information about a set of speech therapy games, developed and approbated by E. Michule, for the enrichment of the vocabulary of 5-6 year old children after the elimination of pronunciation disorders of the sounds s-z and sh-zh, as well as the results obtained in the approbation.

Science is about asking questions but not all science courses provide students with opportunities to practice this essential skill. We give students ownership of the processes of asking and answering questions to help them take greater responsibility for their own learning and to better understand the process of science with its inherent uncertainty. Peer learning activities throughout the course embed multidirectional feedback within and between students and instructors. Students are our partners in the design and evaluation of exam questions and we learn from them as they rise to the challenge of identifying important information and applying it. The lab program is supported by peer assisted learning in which peer mentors partner with instructors to generate activities addressing the use of evidence and experimental design. While not all students engage as partners, those who do value these experiences and demonstrate they can use scientific content creatively and critically.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the features of inflection skills of the preschoolers with a general speech disorders. The problem of studying the grammatical structure of speech plays a leading role in modern scientific and practical research, and the question of the mechanisms of the formation of grammatical patterns of language of children having general speech underdevelopment and the development of recommendations for speech therapy effects on this basis is especially relevant. Taking this factor into consideration, it is important to study the characteristics of inflection skills of preschoolers with a general speech disorders, as one of the categories of the grammatical structure. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics of inflection skills of preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment. In accordance with the purpose, the course of the study is described, its results are analyzed, and conclusions are formulated. Accordingly, recommendations for speech therapy have been developed.Materials and methods. The study of the features of inflection skills of preschoolers with a general underdevelopment of speech was carried out in several stages. At the stage of analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparison of scientific literature data, the main theoretical and practical works of leading specialists were studied, dealing with the problem of formation and development of inflection skills in both normal and impaired speech development process. At the stage of the ascertaining experiment, preschoolers were offered a test aimed at determining the level of formation of inflection skills. At the final stage, empirical methods for processing empirical data (quantitative and qualitative analysis) were used.Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the inflection skills  of preschool children with general speech disorders are mainly formed at a lower-than-average level, while their peers with normal speech development are formed at a high level. The hypothesis of the study, which suggested that the word-modification skills of preschoolers with General speech disorders, in contrast to preschoolers with normal speech development, are characterized by inconsistencies in gender, number, case of nouns and adjectives, errors in the use of forms of number and gender of verbs, was confirmed.Discussion and Conclusions. Taking into consideration the results of the study, we concluded that there is a need for speech therapy to compensate for the underdevelopment of inflection skills, as a result, logopedic recommendations were developed for developing inflection skills of preschool children with general speech disorders, which are part of a comprehensive speech therapy on the development of oral speech.

Verbal scientific communication skills observed in this study include: asking questions, answering questions, contributing ideas / opinions, responding to other students' opinions, and conveying the results of the discussion. Based on the results of the study concluded that the oral communication skills of Al-Azhar Kayangan high school students through learning the integration model of local wisdom are still in the low category. A skill cannot be taught in a short time so it needs to be practiced repeatedly so that students become more skilled. Further research is needed to be related to non-verbal communication skills at the same location and students so that observation of students' communication skills is more comprehensive.

One important problem in MOOCs is the lack of personalized support from teachers. Conversational agents arise as one possible solution to assist MOOC learners and help them to study. For example, conversational agents can help review key concepts of the MOOC by asking questions to the learners and providing examples. JavaPAL, a voice-based conversational agent for supporting learners on a MOOC on programming with Java offered on edX. This paper evaluates JavaPAL from different perspectives. First, the usability of JavaPAL is analyzed, obtaining a score of 74.41 according to a System Usability Scale (SUS). Second, learners? performance is compared when answering questions directly through JavaPAL and through the equivalent web interface on edX, getting similar results in terms of performance. Finally, interviews with JavaPAL users reveal that this conversational agent can be helpful as a complementary tool for the MOOC due to its portability and flexibility compared to accessing the MOOC contents through the web interface.

This paper explores the dynamics of peoples' responses to questions and uses case studies to explore ways in which the validity of data can be improved. Much social research takes for granted that the process of asking questions through interview, survey or focus groups provides accurate data about behaviour, perceptions and attitudes. However, the literature suggests that many questionnaires produce inaccurate data. Cognitive psychologists report that people tend to minimise the difficult recall or imaginative tasks when answering questions. Instead, respondents use ‘schemas’ or ‘scripts’ to interpret and respond to their immediate situation. A schema provides a ‘logic’ or ‘rationality’ that informs their responses. Some practitioners have found that they get more robust results by asking respondents to recreate mentally, specific events before asking questions based on those events.

Shyness, low self-esteem, and fear of peer/instructor’s judgment are among the common factors hindering students’ participation (e.g., asking/answering questions) in classrooms. In this regard, anonymous response systems such as iClickers have been used to improve students’ engagement in classroom activities. Although iClickers can enhance students’ participation, they promote one-way interactions only (i.e., students answering questions). Online interaction platforms are alternatives to traditional clickers that provide more flexibility for students and allow them to answer/ask questions in real-time. In this study, we investigated the use of an online tool that allows for real-time presentation of the lecture’s slides integrated with an audience interaction platform for anonymous classroom participation. The findings of our study provide evidence regarding the positive impacts of using this tool (e.g., improved classroom participation through asking questions and voting in polls) in an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Design course. We discuss the potential improvements that can be made to the implementation of this approach in future courses to enhance students engagement when using this interactive tool.
