    The research is an attempt to investigate experimentally the effect of vocabulary and dictation ESP programme on Iraqi students’ achievement at College of Physical Education for Women. The learners have to know what a word means and what it look like.  These are obvious aspects in teaching foreign language and teachers need to make sure that both these aspects are accurately learned.     The sample of the present research is (46) students of first year stage, College of Physical Education for Women, University of Baghdad. At the academic year 2012- 2013.      It is hypothesized that there are no significant differences between the experimental group taught ESP by vocabulary and dictation programme (Sadiq ,2012) and control group taught ESP with traditional English Course (Sadiq, 2010)  in pre and post tests.      To fulfill the aim of the research an experiments has been designed with two groups of students chosen randomly.  Both groups were matched in the subjects’ achievement in English for previous academic year (2011-2012).  Both groups have tested in pre and post tests. The experiment lasted nine weeks.     After analyzing the results statistically, it has been found that there are significant differences between the two groups in pre- test as well as post test. This indicates that using the vocabulary and dictation programme is more effective in teaching these two skills. Accordingly, the null hypotheses have been rejected.     Finally, English teachers at College of Physical Education are recommended to use the programme to improve the students’ achievement in vocabulary and dictation skills.

The aim of this research is to know the effect of using Predict Observe Explain (POE) method toward students’ achievement in Physics. This is an experimental research by using experimental group and control group. The research design was Post-test Only Control Group Design. The population of this research was the students of class VII SMPN 1 Lembar academic year 2015/2016. The sampling technique was Cluster Random Sampling in which class VII 2 as the control group and class VII 3 as the experimental group. Both of the groups were given a pre-test before the treatment to know the homogeneity of the groups. The instrument used is an objective test in form of multiple choices. The finding showed that the mean of the posttest in experimental group was 70 and the control group was 60.67, in which both of them were distributed normal and homogeneous. The post-test result was analyzed by using t-test (t-test polled variants) in which the value of the was 2.473 and the  was 2.015 with dk=46 and the significant level was 5%. It showed that the was accepted and was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that Predict Observe Explain (POE) Method gave significant effect to the students’ achievement in Physics at Class VII SMPN 1 Lembar Academic year 2015/2016.

This study aimed at investigating whether or not there was any significant effect on students’ listening competency who were taught by dictogloss strategy and those who were taught by conventional strategy. The population of this study was the tenth grade students in SMA N 1 Sukasada. Two classes were taken as samples in this study using cluster random sampling technique. They were assigned as experimental group and control group by lottery. To obtain the required data, the two groups were given different treatments. The experimental group was taught by using dictogloss strategy, meanwhile the control group was taught by using conventional strategy (cloze listening strategy). To collect the data the instruments used in this study were the teaching scenario and post-test in the form of listening test. The obtained data were then analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The result of inferential statistics showed that the t-observed exceeded the t-critical value. Thus, the null hypothesis was rejected, which means there was significant effect on students’ listening competency who were taught by dictogloss strategy and those who were taught by conventional strategy.

This paper investigates the effect of Differentiated Learning Method (DLM) on students motivation towards studying the Arabic language (AL) as a foreign language in Malaysia. The participants in this study were 100 (47 males and 53 females) Malaysian form four students attending secondary school in Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah (KISAS). They were selected for this study to determine the effect of DLM on their motivation towards studying AL. The pre-and post-questionnaire comparison groups design was used to determine if there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught using DLM based on the Universal Design of Learning model (UDL) and Differentiated Instruction model (DI), while the control group was taught using the Teacher Centered Method (TCM). Descriptive statistics were used to determine the effect of DLM on students motivation towards studying AL. The statistical results demonstrated that there was a significant difference in the post-test between the experimental group (M=155.740, SD=12 .663) and the control group (M=145.280, SD= 14.405); t (3.856); p<.05). The experimental group was generally more motivated than the control group which proves that the DLM is an effective approach in improving students motivation towards studying the Arabic Language as a foreign language in Malaysia.
