The intricate nature of written expression presents a difficulty for many students. Learning english as a third language is a difficult assignment. Expressive composing abilities in english can't be procured in proper learning measures. Yet, it needs remarkable endeavors made by the student. There are some broad procedures for development recorded as hard copy abilities. Do these systems are dealt with by the student for composing tasks? To discover the response to this inquiry the current examination was performed. This paper is a review report which was directed on secondary school understudies to examine the degree of expressive abilities and utilization of composing methodologies among them. The outcomes showed that understudies are very much aware of general methodologies and utilize the systems seriously during and after the assignment when contrasted with before composing tasks.

The aim of the research is to identify the common grammatical errors in the written expression of high school students in Jordan, and to identify the level that enables the students to employ grammatical skills in their writing. The sample of the study consisted of (42) high school students who were assigned to write an expressive topic in about (150) words in two topics that were identified by the researcher, and after the students ’papers were corrected and the grammatical errors were classified in their writings, the results of the research showed that the number of types of errors The grammatical expression in the written expression of high school students totaled (58) grammatical errors, the percentage of those errors ranged between (5.17% - 18.97%) and the type of error (the syntax of the plural of the peaceful masculine) came in the first place, as the number of this error reached (11) errors. With percentages amounting to (18.97), and the error came in (the sentence of Anna and her sisters) with a frequency of (10) occurrences with a percentage of (17.24%), followed by the error in (Kana's sentence and its sisters) with a frequency of (9) iterations and a percentage of (15.52) The error in (the parsing of al-Muthanna) came in fourth place with (8) iterations with a percentage of (13.79%), followed by the error in (number and count) with a frequency of (7) errors with a percentage of (12.07%), followed by a mistake (Assert the present tense verb ineffective) enumerates (6) iterations with a percentage of (10.34%), followed by a mistake (the parsing of the five verbs) after occurrences of (4) occurrences and a percentage of (6.90%), and the error in (parsing the five names) came in the last place with a number of (3) occurrences and a percentage of (5.17%). The results also showed that the standard percentages of the types of grammatical errors common in written expression among high school students ranged between (5.17% - 18.97%), all of which were less than (40%), which indicates that high school students have a good level of employing grammar skills. needed for written expression. The researcher made a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: teachers' training for students from the first basic grades on expressive writing situations, so that they get used to correctly formulating the sentence. and accustom students to reading and reading so that the circle of their culture expands and they have a linguistic wealth that helps them to write expressively.

Most teenagers are chronically sleep deprived. One strategy proposed to lengthen adolescent sleep is to delay secondary school start times. This would allow students to wake up later without shifting their bedtime, which is biologically determined by the circadian clock, resulting in a net increase in sleep. So far, there is no objective quantitative data showing that a single intervention such as delaying the school start time significantly increases daily sleep. The Seattle School District delayed the secondary school start time by nearly an hour. We carried out a pre-/post-research study and show that there was an increase in the daily median sleep duration of 34 min, associated with a 4.5% increase in the median grades of the students and an improvement in attendance.

This research aims at exposing the impact of the variability of presentation ways of visual stimuli and their associated sign-language explanation(visual stimuli without sign-language explanation/ visual stimuli followed by sign-language explanation/ visual stimuli simultaneous with the presentation of sign-language explanation) in educational computer programs on academic achievement of some English words among high school students (deaf group) in the integration program At Ain Jaloot Secondary School and the integration program in Dumah Al Jandal Secondary School. The study population included students of the integration program of the two schools, the sample size was determined and it included (36) deaf students who were randomly distributed into three pilot groups. The prior assessment was applied by using the electronic achievement test prepared by the Quiz Creator application, its reliability and validity were then confirmed by checking the coherence of the three groups. The three pilot groups enrolled for an educational computer program, in which the first group studied the impact of the variability of visual stimuli without sign-language explanation, the second group studied the visual stimuli followed by sign-language explanation, then the third group studied the visual stimuli simultaneous with the presentation of sign-language explanation the groups and each group of the three groups included a sample of 12 deaf students. The results of the study showed: Presence of differences which are statically significant (P value= 0.05) between the average degrees of the three groups in favor of the second group who studied the visual stimuli followed by a sign-language explanation.

This chapter describes a children’s book project in which high school students used technology to create e-books for younger students. The benefits of the project for both younger and older students are discussed. Older students developed technology and writing skills; younger students developed letter writing and reading skills. The process is also detailed in the hope that others who might be interested in replicating the project in their own classroom would be able to do so.

Throughout 1974 and 1975 I worked among Aboriginal people in Rural Town, S.W. Queensland. With one exception, all Aboriginal people in this country town have attained at least a primary education. Further, almost 30 per cent of men and women in the 16–30 age group have attended some secondary school; although only two completed grade 10 in 1974, a further three attended tenth arade in 1975.These figures reflect the pattern of Queensland Aboriginal education as presented in Roper (1970:55). On the basis of these trends it should be possible to hypothesize that younger Aboriginals are attaining higher educational standards than their parents. But the figures lie – simply because more children are staying at school for longer periods this does not mean that they either learn more at school or are experiencing more satisfaction in the school situation.Obviously the proportion of individuals who attend at least some secondary school is increasing; Aboriginal parents generally support the principle that education is essential if the child is to acquire reasonable employment. Such schemes as the Aboriginal Secondary Grant Scheme are recognised by the Aboriginal community as worthwhile endeavours, not only because they enable parents to support their children for longer periods at school, but because they make the whole educational issue topical. Discussions about the grant lead to discussions about children’s problems at school. Ambitions for “good jobs” are intrinsically linked with educational achievement. Education officers associated with the Aboriginal Secondary Grant are sought out, asked for help to “have the kids sent to boarding school”, as the Rural Town high school does not teach classes beyond Grade 10, and their expertise enlisted to find employment. This concern is not restricted to high school students either. Mothers generally recognise that: “Kids need the first year at school or they get buggered up for the rest. If they miss too much in that first year, they never catch up….”
