This study attempted to investigate the effect of using a suggested program of interactional metadiscourse markers on EFL majors’ reading comprehension and on their reader-friendly writing. The study used a pre-test/post-test experimental and control group design. An experimental group and a control group were exposed to pre-post means of getting data (a pre-post reading comprehension test and pre-post writing test). Thirty four EFL majors at the College of Education and Arts, Northern Borders University, participated in this study. A 10-week program of interactional metadiscourse markers was developed and given to experimental group students. Results revealed a significant improvement in the reading comprehension of the experimental group students and in their reader-friendly writing. Based on these findings, it was recommended that explicit teaching of metadiscourse markers should be integrated into EFL majors’ curricula.

<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>This study aims to increase resilience among survivors of violence against women through support group therapy. As resilience increases, survivors of violence against women form a powerless community of women as a vehicle for victims of violence to share experiences. This research is important because the number of violence against women shows an increasing trend from year to year. The hypothesis in this study is that there are differences in resilience of survivors of violence against women in experimental group and control group after group therapy. Subjects in this study were 10 women victims of violence aged between 35-40 years at Seruni Kota Semarang Integrated Service Center and divided into experimental groups and control groups. The measuring tool used is Modified Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Modules were taken from the therapy groups of Brabender, Smolar, and Fallon supporters (2004). The study used quasi experiment with non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Data were analyzed using different test of independent sample t-test. The result of the research shows that there is difference of resilience scores of survivors against women in experimental group and control group with p = 0,001 (p &lt;0,05). In conclusion, support group therapy is effective to increase resilience to survivors of violence against women.</p><p><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan resiliensi pada penyintas kekerasan terhadap perempuan melalui terapi kelompok pendukung.

Traditional laboratory chemistry experiments are often constrained by cost.Alternatively, the researcher developed a General Chemistry Laboratory Moduleof Small-Scale Experiments that can be performed individually by tertiaryfreshmen at lesser expense. It includes five experiments aligned with the Trendsin International Mathematics and Science Study TIMSS’ topics in Chemistry;hence, also offers public secondary schools the prospect of extensive chemistrylaboratory capability that can upgrade their performance in the TIMSS’assessment in science. A non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design wasused to investigate the effects of small-scale and traditional chemistry experimentson achievement, conceptual understanding and level of participation of theexperimental and control groups respectively. Validated and reliability-testedmultiple-choice tests measured achievement while concept maps with very stronginter-rater reliability assessed conceptual understanding. The experimental group showed greater percent gain in achievement and conceptual understanding, and a strong association between the variables. The independent t-test found nosignificant difference between experimental and control groups in achievementand conceptual understanding but the level of participation scored through aresearcher-made rubric gave a higher average for the experimental group. Onthe basis of achievement, conceptual understanding, and level of participation, small-scale chemistry experiments were found to be appropriate substitutes fortraditional laboratory experiments - pedagogically effective with added values ofbeing environment-friendly and cheap.Keywords: Chemical education, small-scale achievement, conceptual understanding,level of participation, non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design,Philippines
