The study investigates the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in Public sector colleges of Pakistan. The experimental study traces improvement in comprehension and writing skills of intermediate level students (studying in grades 11 and 12). An experiment group and a control group are used to study the effects of CLT on learners’ progress. A pre-test and post-test are carried out to measure any improvement in the students’ cognitive learning process. The experiment group is given treatment through vigorous intervention of CLT based activities. The control group is taught through the traditional method of GTM. The data collected from the two groups are analyzed using SPSS. The results show a significant improvement in the learning process, comprehension and writing skills of the students in the experiment group. The analysis proves the appropriateness of CLT for Pakistani ESL context.

Since it is a productive skill, writing is considered one of the most crucial abilities in communication; nonetheless, EFL learners have difficulty composing texts which are both communicatively and linguistically competent. This study intends to explore the benefits of using authentic materials in EFL learners, with an emphasis on writing skills. To pursue this objective, fifty-two participants were chosen randomly from a B1 level (following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The participants were distributed into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The students were majoring in various degrees at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador (PUCE). In this case study, in which the application of authentic materials covered fifty percent of daily two-hour classes, data was collected through a structured pre-test, post-test, and an opinion survey. All data was analyzed using a rubric designed for this purpose. This research, which is based on the Communicative Language Teaching Approach, also deals with various concepts regarding authentic materials and researchers’ perceptions. The findings elicited positive results for students’ writing with the use of authentic materials skills and shed lights on participants’ opinions.

Observation Results

The objectives of this pre-experimental study are: (1) to describe the effectiveness of learning by applying creative media on  material of basic locomotor movement, (2) to compare the result of basic locomotor movement abilities between students who learn by implementing creative media and by implementing conventional media. This research is a pre-experimental study applying Pretest-Posttest Design. During the research, its subject was given a pre-test and post-test experiment. Conventional learning was provided for the control group, while creative media learning was provided for the experimental group, then data of locomotor movement ability was recorded. The data was analyzed by using SPSS to answer the problem statement. The results of this research are obtained as follows: (1) Learning process of basic locomotor movement by implementing creative media is effective for 3rd grade students of elementary school. (2) Its effectiveness can be referred from the observation results towards learning process of most students considered in good category, completeness learning of the students is greater as many as 19 students or 58%, compared to conventional learning as many as 12 students or 36%. (3) The average test result of the students’ basic locomotor movement ability using creative media is 2.06, while the average ability of students using conventional learning media is 1.86.

Cognitive Learning Outcomes

<p>One of the factors affecting student learning outcomes is the learning process in the classroom. A teacher-centered learning process provides little learning experience for students. Student-centered learning needs to be developed so that students may experience meaningful learning and achieve good outcomes. The purpose of this study was to see the different cognitive learning outcomes caused by the implementation of two cooperative learning methods: jigsaw and TAI. The research method used is a quantitative quasi experiment with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Student learning outcomes were measured by a post test. The difference in the learning outcomes were tested using a t-test. The research concludes that there is a significant difference of cognitive learning outcomes between students who are given cooperative learning jigsaw type (mean 43.14) and TAI (mean 47.85).</p><p><strong>ABSTRAK BAHASA INDONESIA: </strong>Salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi hasil belajar siswa adalah proses pembelajaran di kelas.

This is an experimental study in the area of Didactics applied to the learning of English as a foreign language and complemented by CALL. The main objective of this work is to know the degree of incidence existing between two groups of students: one, based on conference-style classes where students, guided by the teacher, have to search for information about a topic in the computer lab and present it in front of the class and, in the other, where students are taught by the teacher according to a printed text. The experimental design consisted of a pre-test/post-test plus the application of different techniques to develop the different linguistic and cognitive strategies, between these tests. The methodology used by the Experimental Group forced learners to generate their own knowledge, so they had to apply the information and work by themselves in Workshops; and the Control Group participated in the classroom according to the communicative approach, guided by the teacher in the traditional class. Statistics were applied to the scores obtained between both tests, and the scores obtained weekly in the different competences contributed to knowing whether there were significant differences between both groups.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a developed writing module on enhancing the General Foundation Program students’ writing skills. The study made use of a pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design. The study participants incorporated 70 Omani students and 2 EFL teachers. The students were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group incorporated 35 students who studied English at the General Foundation Program of Sur Nursing Institute. The control group involved 35 students who took an English course at The General Foundation Program Centre in Muscat. Both institutions function under the auspices of the Omani Ministry of Health. The control group studied the ministry’s writing syllabus, whereas the experimental group studied the writing module. The writing pre-test was done before module delivery and the post-test was done after the intervention. ANCOVA test was utilized to draw a statistical analogy between the mean scores of tests of both groups. The test findings divulged that there was a statistically significant mean difference between the control and experimental group’s scores in the writing post-test. The module significantly enhanced the experimental group’s writing skills.

The Subject

The problem that we need to be solved in the world of our education is the weak learning process. The learning process in the classroom is still directed at the child's ability to memorize information. While biology requires logical and reasonable learning to be accepted and absorbed by the brain so that it can last long. The aim of the research is to know the influence of course review horay learning toward student’s of cognitive learning class ten in the subject matter cell in MA Sabilul Hasanah Kecamatan Sembawa Kabupaten Banyuasin. This research method used quasi-experimental design with a quantitative approach research pretest-posttest control group design. The sample is taken by using purposive sampling techniques. The sample was grade XI MIA 2 as an experimental class and class XI MIA 1 as the control class. The instrument used in this research is a test to measure student’s cognitive learning about the cognitive categories C1-C4. Data analysis use the t-test, data on the calculation difference average posttest both groups earned value t-test much as 4,806 while value t-table with significant level5% with degrees of freedom (dk) 42 is equal to1,684, it can be said that t-test > t-table means the alternative hypothesis (Ha) be accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) rejected. It can be concluded that there is a significant influence of course review horay learning toward student’s of cognitive learning class eleven in the subject matter cell inMA Sabilul Hasanah.
