This experimental study is an attempt to bring a new perspective and a new teaching method CDIO (Conceiving, Designing, Implementing, and Operating) to the ELT field. The CDIO method was applied in the 11th grade in a private high school in Diyarbakir, Turkey. The students were subjected to a pretest before the treatment process and to a posttest after the process. The treatment procedures and materials were prepared according to the CDIO curriculum and standards. The treatment process lasted for fifteen weeks for the experimental group while the control group continued learning English without being exposed to the CDIO teaching method. Subsequently, the collected data was analyzed with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 to see whether the CDIO methodology has effective results on the students’ performance or not. After the data was collected and analyzed, the results showed that the students performed better after learning English using CDIO in the rate of 14.45%, where the mean score of the pretest was 71.66 while the mean score of the posttest was 86.23. Moreover, the results exhibit that the participants’ fulfillment developed in grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension skills. Accordingly, there is a great improvement in the students’ performance of the experimental group. Also, the outcomes show that the CDIO has played a big role in developing the students’ level and has shown a positive effect on learning English. Finally, it is expected from this research to open the door for schools and faculties of teaching English to adopt the CDIO approach and apply it in their programs.

A quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of music playback on intravenous cannulation pain among children in a selected hospital. Objectives: to assess the mean posttest pain score among children in the experimental and control group, to find out the effectiveness of music playback on intravenous cannulation pain among children and to find out the association between posttest pain score and selected socio demo graphic variables of children in control group. Quasi experimental posttest only controls group design and convenience sampling technique was used to select 60 children in a selected hospital at Alappuzha district. Conceptual framework: Ernestine Wiedenbach’s Helping Art of Clinical Nursing Theory (1969). Posttest was conducted in the control and the experimental group by using FLACC Behavioral Pain Scale and Socio demographic proforma. Music playback was played to the experimental group for 10 minutes during intravenous cannulation. The data were tabulated and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean posttest pain score of children in the experimental group was 4.1 with SD 1.33 which was significantly lower than the mean posttest pain score of children in the control group which was 7.8 with SD 1.27 with a mean difference of 3.6. The calculated ‘t’ value 10.910 was greater than the table value 2.00, is significant at p<0.05 level with degree of freedom 58. Hence, we can conclude that the music playback was effective in reducing the pain level of children during intravenous cannulation. The analysis showed that the calculated chi square value for family monthly income, number of previous hospitalisations, previous exposure of cannulation were greater than that of the table value at p < 0.05 level of significance. Hence null hypothesis (H02) can be rejected and research hypothesis (H2) can be accepted. So, it can be concluded that there was significant association between posttest pain score an

The purpose of the current research was to strength the production of non-literary written dialogues by using idiomatic expressions in the English- Language teaching-learning process, applied to second level students, class B in the Language Center at Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo from October 2016 to March 2017. It has been evidenced that the syllabus of the Language Center does not consider the use of idiomatic expressions, so the students acquire neither lexicography nor appropriate vocabulary. This was a correlational, quasi experimental, field trip and documentary research applied to two heterogeneous groups; a control group and an experimental group. The control group developed the traditional contents planned in the institutional syllabus, while the experimental group developed a set of activities as a methodological strategy; a booklet was also designed for being used as a guide by the teachers. Both groups were evaluated through a rubric in two stages: the pre-test and post-test obtaining data to be tabulated, analyzed, interpreted and then compared in order to prove the hypothesis. It was determined that the use of idiomatic expressions strengthens the production of non-literary written dialogues, so it is recommended to apply them in the English language teaching-learning process.
