Abstract This study was designed to assess reading difficulty dynamics and develop the corresponding interventions for students in the Banka Community Senior High School within the Asante Akyem South Municipality of Ghana. The study used multiple research designs and research methods in soliciting data for the analysis. Both semi-structured questionnaires and interview guides were used for data collection. A 100-worded paragraph was taken from the introductory page of the Integrated Science Textbook for Senior High Schools to assess the reading difficulty of students using the One-Minute Administration of Reading Passages (OARP) protocol. Three sessions of readings were done; the first without intervention, and the subsequent readings with teacher interventions. The results of the study show that majority of the respondents had text recognition accuracy (TRA), text pronunciation accuracy (TPA) and reading speed (RS) problems. Thus, TRA, TPA, and RS scores were below the 80% benchmark in the first reading (without intervention). Nevertheless, TRA, TPA, and RS scores increased above the 80% benchmark for the second and third readings (with teacher interventions). Four causative factors for the reading difficulties (RDs), three locational dynamics, four durational dynamics, four reading frequency dynamics and four periodic dynamics of RDs were identified. The study concludes that RD reduces with teacher interventions. The findings of this study is not a generalization of reading difficulty dynamics and intervention in all community schools in Ghana but rather presents contributions to an emerging academic problem which could have implications on SDG 4 in the near future within community schools. Hence, the need for setting up reading clubs in community schools towards reducing reading difficulties among students.

Discipline in class is essential. Without it the educational processes and teachings are difficult. In this manner curricula goals are almost impossible to achieve. There are and there always will be some kind of conflicts between teachers and students, but they should not evolve to become a problem. Teachers (especially elderly teachers) often express pessimism of contemporary students. They say that today's students have less knowledge, they do misbehave more often than previous generations. A study among students was conducted. It was trying to determine the rate of discipline in schools in Celje to see if these statements are true. The questionnaire to students of one primary and one high school in Celje, Slovenia were distributed. The answers from 234 students were received. On the one hand, it was found out that senior high school students have the worst level of discipline of all the grades tested. They themselves assess their class atmosphere as less disciplined. They report that teachers use a lot of time to calm the class down. All this is probably a factor in lower average grade that the senior high school students have. On the other hand, it was found out that teachers do not react to the disturbance or they are trying to be repressive. These are not the correct ways of dealing with discipline issues. Therefore, there are some recommended ways how teachers should react. Keywords: discipline in class, primary school, contemporary student, elderly teachers.

Concerning the fact that a large amount of teachers have been participated in the microlectures competition, it means the concept of microlectures has been recognized. However, English teachers are devoted to participating in these competitions but fail to put microlectures into practical teaching. Therefore, the focus of this paper is going to answer the following two questions, that is, how to make a good microlecture and how to use it properly. This paper chooses four videos from The Third China’s Microlectures Competition to analysis from three aspects: teaching philosophy, second language acquisition mechanism and education psychology. It is found that English teachers from senior high school generally do not understand the concept of microlectures. Generally speaking, teachers are intended to win the award of the competition but fail to put microlectures in the practical teaching. Teachers are inclined to select big topics, untypical teaching materials. What’s more, the structure of microlectures isn’t complete since some teachers ignore the exercise part. Based on these problems, on the one hand, English teachers should insist on life-long study and apply the latest education technologies into practical teaching. On the other hand, the organization of the whole microlecture should be developed logically. Suggestions are provided with teachers on how to make a make a good microlecture and how to use it properly.

Satisfactory Manner

Ten years ago the department of mathematics of Wichita High School began grouping students according to ability into three groups—honor, medium, and slow. At first we used an intelligence test as a part of the basis of classification. We have used the Stone Reasoning test, the Otis Intelligence Test, and the Terman Test. With or without an intelligence test we have always used the judgment of the teacher who had the pupils the previous semester and the one receiving the pupils. Not always have we given an intelligence test but we do feel that we lose some of the certainty of placing and at times find our first judgment wrong without the test. A student may be very good in the mechanics of elementary algebra, doing the original reasoning required there in a satisfactory manner, and yet lack the power of analysis required in geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry. Students naturally group themselves according to their analytic and reasoning power and an intelligence test discovers this grouping more readily than the regular classroom procedure.

In this 21st century, information flow has already reached a matured level. It is the time to promote on-line reading clubs, as high school students generally possess the ability to study by themselves through the internet. In 1990, Taiwan Ministry of Education announced the plan to practice inter-schools on-line reading clubs for all high schools and constructed the students’ website to achieve a significant milestone for on-line reading clubs on campus. The on-line reading clubs are running through interactive web pages, electronic book stores, discussion boards, knowledge sharing etc. The essence of these clubs is the combination of key elements: reading, materials and communication. In this research, we first conduct with questionnaire and interview approaches to study their current situations, executive guidelines, resource requirements, performance evaluations and operating strategies of on-line reading clubs in Taiwan. Then we give a blueprint of well-function on-line reading club web environment to encourage students to involve in the clubs and cultivate inter-school reading. Finally, we propose strategic suggestions for practicing on-line reading clubs in senior high school libraries.
