scholarly journals The Effect of Interaction between Active Learning Strategies of Random Excitement and Rolling Stone and Audio and Visual Learning Styles in Developing English Conversation Skills Among 9th Graders in Gaza governmental Schools

The aim of the study is to explore the impact of interaction between two active learning strategies (random excitement and the rolling stone) and the learning styles (auditory and visual) in developing the oral, and performance aspects of the English conversation skills among ninth graders in Gaza. The mixed approach was used. The sample contained (207) ninth graders and was chosen randomly from Al-Aysheya Basic Elementary School for Girls. To collect data, a conversational skills rating scale and an oral conversation test were used. The results showed a significant difference between the average scores in the experimental group 1 which was taught through the random excitement and the experimental group 2 taught through the rolling stone in the posttest of the oral side of the conversation skill due to the effect of the interaction between (random excitement and the rolling stone) and the learning styles (auditory and visual). The results also proved that a significant difference between the average scores in the experimental group1 which is taught through the random excitement and the experimental group 2 taught through the rolling stone in the posttest of the performance aspect of the conversation skill due to the effect of the interaction between (random excitement and the rolling stone) and the learning styles (auditory and visual). Considering the outcomes, the study proposes creating managing materials to furnish educators with the required information to utilize dynamic learning techniques, building up instructors' capacities in picking the perfect discussion exercise procedure to meet diverse learning styles, and concentrating on all conversation skills such speaking rate, volume, and accuracy in teaching conversation.

Active learning has been linked with increased student motivation, engagement and understanding of course material. It promotes deep learning, helping to develop critical thinking and writing skills in students. Less well understood, however, are the responses of international students to active learning. Using social constructivist theory, the purpose of this study is to examine domestic and international student perceptions of active learning introduced into large undergraduate Accounting Information Systems lectures. Several active learning strategies were implemented over one semester and examined through the use of semi-structured interviews as well as pre- and post- implementation surveys. Our results suggest broad improvements for international students in student engagement and understanding of unit material when implementing active learning strategies. Other key implications include international student preference for active learning compared with passive learning styles, and that international students may receive greater benefits from active learning strategies than domestic students due to social factors. Based on these findings this paper proposes that educators should seek to implement active learning to better assist and integrate students of diverse backgrounds.

This study investigated how learning styles (visual/verbal) and the use of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) software affect English as a Second Language adult learners’ improvement during a 12-week course focusing on pronunciation. In the control group (n = 28), the teacher corrected and gave feedback on the adult learners’ pronunciation; experimental group 1 (n = 33) used dictation ASR along with peers’ correction; and experimental group 2 (n = 31) used dictation ASR alone. Their pre- and post-tests on pronunciation in reading tasks and live conversation were analyzed with their learning styles taken into account, using 2-way ANCOVA. The results suggest that learning styles made a significant difference in the pronunciation performance of the reading task in all groups. Visual style learners outperformed verbal style learners in the reading task. The combination of ASR and peer correction yielded the highest improvement in both reading tasks and live conversation.

AbstractAlthough political science instructors increasingly recognize the advantages of incorporating active learning activities into their teaching, simulations remain the discipline's most commonly used active learning method. While certainly a useful strategy, simulations are not the only way to bring active learning into classrooms. Indeed, because students have diverse learning styles—comprised of their discrete learning preferences—engaging them in a variety of ways is important. This article explores six active learning techniques: simulations, case studies, enhanced lectures, large group discussion, small group work, and in-class writing. Incorporating these activities into an introductory, writing-intensive seminar on globalization and surveying students about their engagement with course activities, I find that different activities appeal to students with different learning preferences and that simulations are not students most preferred activity. Bringing a broader range of active learning strategies into courses can improve teaching for all students, no matter their learning style.
