Vocabulary plays a pivotal role in the EFL classrooms, but the outcome for recalling the vocabulary items are not satisfactory. As a result, the current study aims at examining the effects of glossing on different types of texts with different difficulty levels and varying lengths on vocabulary retention. In a quasi-experimental within subject design two types of text, namely, expository and narrative, three difficulty levels of easy, standard and difficult and two text lengths, including short and long were utilized. Forty-one participants were exposed to the 12 texts and then took the post-test. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated that there were significant differences in vocabulary retention of students (F 7.72), p=. 05. The findings of post- hoc analysis Tukey test indicated that the texts which were short with regard to length, easy with regard to difficulty, and expository with respect to type helped students retain the glossed words better than other texts.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas pelatihan self-regulated learning yang dilaksanakan dengan durasi yang singkat (90 menit). Penelitian quasi eksperimen ini menggunakan one-group pretest-posttest design dengan keterlibatan 9 siswa kelas VII SMP sebagai partisipan. Self-regulated learning siswa diukur pada tahap baseline (pretest), setelah intervensi (posttest), dan 3 bulan setelah intervensi (follow-up). Analisis data dengan ANOVA repeated measures satu arah menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara tiga waktu pengukuran SRL, F (2, 16) = 8.23, p = 0.003, ω² = 0.21. Skor SRL setelah pelatihan diberikan (M = 3.93, SD = 0.31) lebih tinggi dibandingkan sebelum pelatihan diberikan (M = 3.46, SD = 0.42). Pelatihan SRL yang singkat dapat meningkatkan self-regulated learning siswa dengan beberapa catatan yang perlu didiskusikan lebih lanjut. This study examined the effectiveness of self-regulated learning training which is carried out in short duration (90 minutes). This quasi-experimental study used one-group pretest-posttest design that inlvolve seventh grade middle school students as participants. Students’ self-regulated learning was measured at the baseline (pre-test), after the intervention (post-test), and 3 months after the intervention (follow-up). Data analysis with one-way repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences between three SRL time measurement, F (2, 16) = 8.23, p = 0.003, ω² = 0.21. SRL score at post-test (M = 3.93, SD = 0.31) higher than at pre-test (M = 3.46, SD = 0.42). Post hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction indicated that SRL increased following the intervention (posttest) with large effect size (d = -1.408, p = 0.009). SRL declined 3 months after posttest (d = 0.752, p = 0.162), yet insignificant. This brief SRL training can increase self-regulated learning with some points need to be discussed further.

Conducted in English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classrooms at the university level in China, this quasi-experimental study compared the effects of three different corrective feedback treatments on 72 Chinese learners’ use of regular and irregular English past tense. Three classes were randomly assigned to a prompt group, a recast group, or a control group and then participated in form-focused production activities that elicited the target forms. In the two feedback groups, teachers consistently provided one type of feedback (i.e., either recasts or prompts) in response to learners’ errors during the activities, whereas in the control group, the teacher provided feedback only on content. Pretests, immediate posttests, and delayed posttests administered 2 weeks after the treatment assessed participants’ acquisition of regular and irregular past tense forms in both oral and written production. Comparisons of group means across testing sessions using a repeated-measures ANOVA consistently revealed large effects for time. Post hoc within-group analyses of the eight immediate- and delayed-posttest measures revealed significant gains by the prompt group on all eight measures, the recast group on four, and the control group on three. The effects of prompts were larger than those of recasts for increasing accuracy in the use of regular past tense forms, whereas prompts and recasts had similar effects on improving accuracy in the use of irregular past tense forms.

This study examined the effects of using approximation and appealing for the help techniques on learning speaking skill among Iranian intermediate EFL learners. First sixteen participants out of 120 were chosen for the target population. The participants were then randomly assigned to three equal groups- two experimental groups and one control group. The groups were pretested by a speaking pre-test. Regarding the treatment, the experimental groups were taught by using the communicative approach techniques including approximation and appealing for the help. One experimental group received instruction on how to appeal for the help if their competence cannot come up with the exact word. The other experimental group received instruction on how to compensate failure in conversation by using approximate words. For example, in case of forgetting the exact word they used an approximate word or phrase like using "boat" instead of "ship" or "pipe" for "water pipe". However, the participants in the control group received traditional activities in learning speaking such as question and answer, topic discussion, dialogs and role playing. The treatment took 10 sessions of 45 minutes each under the guidance of the supervisor. Then, the control group and the experimental groups took the post-test of pet. After collecting the data, they were analyzed through using One-way Anova and Post-hoc Scheffe Test- Multiple Comparisons. The findings showed that both experimental groups outperformed than the control group. The results showed that those students who received appealing for the help treatment were better than approximation group and control group.
