          Peer teaching is a strategy that allows the students to teach the new content to each other, and they must be accurately guided by instructors.     The researcher proposes that the use of students peer teaching  may promote students' achievement  and ensure the engagement of all the students in the learning process. Therefore, the researcher employs it as a teaching method aiming at investigating its  effect on Iraqi EFL students' achievement in the course of Library and Research Work .      The study hypothesizes that there is no significant difference between the students' achievement who are taught library and research work by students peer teaching  and that of the students taught by the traditional way. The experimental design of the study is Parallel Groups, Random Assignment, posttest. Each group consists of 35 students, chosen randomly from the Third Year Students at the Department of English in the College of Basic Education. Both groups were matched in terms of their age and parents' education. The experiment was fulfilled in the first course for 15 weeks during the academic year 2016-2017.       The same materials were presented to both groups. This included   units from Writing Research Paper by Lester D. . Post-test was constructed and exposed  The t-test for  independent samples was used to analyze the results and it is found out that there is a statistical difference between the two groups in their achievement because the calculated t- value 2.635 is bigger than the tabulated t- value which is 2.000, and also shown the superiority of the experimental group. The results indicate that the experimental group, who was taught Library and Research Work by peer teaching   was better than the control group, who was taught according to the traditional way. So, the null hypothesis is rejected. Finally, some recommendations and suggestions are presented in the light of the study findings. to a jury of experts to verify its validity and it was administered to both groups.

One of the problems in teaching English to students in vocational high schools is how to make the students more active, creative, and critical. An alternative teaching method that can be used by teachers is Problem-Based Learning (PBL). The objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of PBL provides a significant effect on the students’ writing descriptive text. This study used a quasi-experimental design which was conducted at a vocational school in Malang. The participants of this study were class X Office Administration 1 as the experimental group consisting of 23 students and class X Office Administration 3 as the control group consisting of 23 students. The researcher gave pre-test and post-test and compared the participants’ writing scores in the control and experimental groups by using an independent sample t-test. The result of the post-test indicates that the students in the experimental group achieved a higher mean score than those in the control group on writing descriptive text. The statistical analysis reports that there was a significant difference in scores between the two groups (t = 6.99, p < 0.05). This finding indicates that PBL can be an effective method for teachers in teaching writing descriptive text.

In this study, by using the Dalcroze teaching method in the education of special talented students, practices focused on the perception of the Turkish musical “zencîr usûlü” with the support of the musical element and the determination of the level of learnability. However, with the applied curriculum, it is aimed to develop rhythmic perception and musical sensitivity by using interdisciplinary method technique and Dalcroze teaching method technique. The subject study group of the study was formed from the students of the music department studying in Akhisar Science and Art Center affiliated to the Ministry of National Education. In this study; A curriculum suitable for students' levels was prepared by foreseeing that gifted students grasped and progressed in a process three times faster than their peers, and that many activities would be easier for them than their peers. Based on the saying "Body movement with music is one, it cannot be separated" mentioned in Ancient Greece, the evaluation of the teaching technique we envisioned with the Turkish musical procedural technique, the pre-test post-test experimental design with control group Handled using. In order to determine whether there is a significant difference between test results, Mann - Whitney U Test, and "SPSS 20" package program was used for pre-test and post-test results. In order to determine the reliability of the study, an expert opinion form regarding the rubric and rubric was used at the pre-test and post-test stages. In the control group, the lessons were taught with the traditional teaching system, while in the experimental group, the teaching model was handled. According to the findings obtained in the study, it was determined that the experimental group in which the teaching model based strategies were applied was more successful than the control group in which the traditional method technique was used.   Özet Bu çalışmada, özel yetenekli öğrenci eğitiminde Dalcroze öğretim yöntemi kullanılarak, Türk mûsıkîsi zencîr usûlünün müzik unsuru ile desteklenerek algılanması ve öğrenilebilirlik düzeyinin tespiti üzerinde yoğunlaşılan uygulamalar yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte, uygulanan öğretim programıyla disiplinlerarası yöntem tekniği ve Dalcroze öğretim yöntem tekniği kullanılarak ritmik algı ve müzikal duyarlılığın geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın denek çalışma grubu, Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı Akhisar Bilim ve Sanat Merkezinde öğrenim gören müzik bölümü öğrencilerinden oluşturulmuştur. Bu araştırmada; özel yetenekli öğrencilerin, yaşıtlarına göre normalden üç kat daha hızlı bir süreçte konuyu kavradıkları ve ilerledikleri, yaşıtlarına göre pek çok etkinliğin onlara daha kolay gelebileceği ön görülerek öğrencilerin seviyelerine uygun bir öğretim programı hazırlanmıştır. Antik Yunan’da zikredilen “Müzikle beden hareketi birdir, ayrılamaz” sözünden yola çıkarak, Türk mûsıkîsi usûl icra tekniği (meşk sistemi) ile öngördüğümüz öğretim tekniğinin değerlendirmesi, söz konusu tekniğin, bedensel hareket ve koordinasyon eşliğinde uygulandığı ön test son test kontrol gruplu deneysel desen kullanılarak ele alınmıştır. Test sonuçları arasında anlamlı bir fark olup olmadığını belirlemek amacı ile Mann - Whitney U Testi, ön test ve son test sonuçlarında ise “SPSS 20” paket programı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın güvenirliğinin tespiti için de, ön test - son test aşamalarında dereceli puanlama anahtarı ve dereceli puanlama anahtarına ilişkin uzman görüşü alma formu kullanılmıştır. Kontrol gurubunda dersler geleneksel öğretim sistemiyle işlenirken, deney grubunda ise öğretim modeli ele alınarak işlenmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre, geleneksel yöntem tekniğinin kullanıldığı kontrol grubuna nazaran öğretim modeline dayalı stratejilerin uygulandığı deney grubunun daha başarılı olduğu saptanmıştır.
