Online learning is one of the most rapidly growing trends in educational use of digital technologies. The article touches upon the importance of MyEnglishLab as one of the newest tools for blended English language learning. Due to the pandemics of the 2020 many learners began to implement different tools of digital technology to an increasing extent. An effective and appropriate tool for learning English aimed at developing communication skills allows to increase individualization of educational activity, to optimize mastering language structures and grammatical rules, and also to overcome some obstacles of both oral and written competences of the students. An interactive platform is one of the newest blended learning tools that combines different English language learning activities in a variety of formats. It is a web-based system providing learners 24 hours a day, 7 days a week online access to the teacher-managed course content, supports different learning styles, provides students with a large number of supervised practices. The platform MyEnglishLab contains lexical and grammatical tasks, audio materials listening and reading as well as watching videos. Tasks are performed in three stages: the formation of lexical and grammatical skills; improvement of language skills and using those phrases and sentences that were consolidated in the first stage in the dialogue with a computer; development of skills to use lexical and grammatical knowledge acquired during the previous two stages. The platform has options for choosing the number of attempts to perform both test exercises and training. In this article we present a research carried out among the freshmen of Yerevan State University Faculty of European Languages and Communication.

The purposes of this study were to develop a blended learning model using Edmodo as a learning tool in language learning and examine the effectiveness of the model implemented in an English course regarding oral proficiency, motivation, and attitude. To achieve these purposes, a quasi-experimental design was employed to collect data using the tests and questionnaires. The samples in this study were the second-year students enrolled in an intermediate English course. The samples were from two classes, each of which contained 42 students. One class was used for the control group; another one for the experimental group. In the control group, students were only taught in a face-to-face learning environment using the PPP model whereas the experimental group studied through the PPP model in class supported by online learning using Edmodo. The findings indicate that blended learning was more effective than traditional learning. That is, students in the experimental group not only outperformed those in the control group in oral proficiency, but they also exhibited higher learning motivation. Although students in both groups did not differ in their attitude toward the PPP model, those in the experimental group expressed a positive attitude toward Edmodo. The findings of this study have implications for English language instructors, encouraging them to see how technology can facilitate learning and help learners produce better academic performance.

The purpose of this study is to discover, describe and explain the development model of character-based English language in senior high schools to improve student’s achievement. This study is designed to approach research and development, the research is followed up by studying, investigating, and understanding as well as how the model-based development of English Language learning character develop. The sample of the study consists of 30 teachers who are taken from 8 senior high schools in Banda Aceh that have the same background and characteristics. To produce a model of teaching English in senior high schools in Banda Aceh, the model is conducted systematic steps in the form of the process of action, reflection, evaluation, and innovation. The method used is direct observation, questionnaires, interviews, seminars, and development. Furthermore, this research is expected to produce English language-based learning model character in accordance with the national culture.

This study aims to determine the comparison of the English learning outcomes between the students who taught by Blended Learning model and Discovery Learning model. Moreover, this study also aims to reveal which model is more effective in enhancing the students’ English language learning outcomes. This experimental research involved two experimental classes in which the first experimental class taught using the Blended Learning model with the help of WhatsApp software (online class), while in the second experimental class taught using Discovery Learning model with the help of Power Point software (offline class). The sample who are involved in this study was 30 students. The data collected using writing test. The results showed that the students learning outcomes were increased in both the experimental 1 and 2. However, the mean score of the students who taught using Discovery learning is higher than the mean score of the students who taught using Blended Learning. Thus, it can be concluded that H1 was accepted and H0 was rejected. Further, the applying of Discovery Learning assisted by PowerPoint software is more effective than using Blended Learning model assisted by WhatsApp. The application of the Power Point-assisted Discovery Learning enables the students more focus as they take responsibility in learning, then it allows the students to learn pacely.

English language learning (ELL) children suspected of having specific-language impairment (SLI) should be assessed using the same methods as monolingual English-speaking children born and raised in the United States. In an effort to reduce over- and under-identification of ELL children as SLI, speech-language pathologists (SLP) must employ nonbiased assessment practices. This article presents several evidence-based, nonstandarized assessment practices SLPs can implement in place of standardized tools. As the number of ELL children SLPs come in contact with increases, the need for well-trained and knowledgeable SLPs grows. The goal of the authors is to present several well-establish, evidence-based assessment methods for assessing ELL children suspected of SLI.


Accurate pronunciation has a vital role in English language learning as it can help learners to avoid misunderstanding in communication. However, EFL learners in many contexts, especially at the University of Phan Thiet, still encounter many difficulties in pronouncing English correctly. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the role of pronunciation in English language learning and examine their pronunciation practicing strategies (PPS). It involved 155 English-majored students at the University of Phan Thiet who answered closed-ended questionnaires and 18 English-majored students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students strongly believed in the important role of pronunciation in English language learning; however, they sometimes employed PPS for their pronunciation improvement. Furthermore, the results showed that participants tended to use naturalistic practicing strategies and formal practicing strategies with sounds, but they overlooked strategies such as asking for help and cooperating with peers. Such findings could contribute further to the understanding of how students perceive the role of pronunciation and their PPS use in the research’s context and other similar ones.
