Teaching a foreign language by means of drama techniques contributes to the social, emotional, and intellectual development of the student's personality. Also, drama techniques help to increase the motivation of both the student and the teacher. The teacher takes into account the needs and interests of students, has personal approaches to them. Each of the students develops according to their abilities. In the distribution of roles from the play, complex texts are distributed among students with a higher level of training, and simple roles among students with less training. This is not a reason to believe that someone showed better performance and someone played not well. Every role is counted. When a reciprocal feedback arises between the teacher and the student, the work will be more fruitful. Such a creative atmosphere allows the teacher to subtly and imperceptibly educate students, monitor their behavior, and correct it. Consequently, drama techniques creates such conditions when a student wants to listen to a foreign speech, speak a foreign language, when he is carried away and feels a sense of satisfaction from what he is doing and what he can do in a foreign language. The article discusses of use of the drama techniques in teaching English, which acts as an effective means of teaching the language and increasing motivation.

The mother child relationship can help or hinder the social, emotional and intellectual development of the infant. Research has shown that the interaction between mother and child can affect the child’s cognitive development. Research has shown that mothers from the lower socio-economic groups do not stimulate their babies optimally and that this may affect the children negatively. In this study 86 underprivileged mothers from two different cultural backgrounds were asked to describe the ways in which they kept their infants occupied during the first year of their infants’ lives. The differences between the two groups are discussed and recommendations are made.

Inclusive classrooms provide new opportunities for group membership and creation of effective learning environments. In order to facilitate the success of inclusion as an approach and philosophy, it is important that all class members as well as their teachers develop the skills to understand one another, and to communicate and work together effectively. Students with or without disabilities have the right to be educated in the least restrictive, most appropriate environment. The movement toward less restrictive environments is not only a school phenomenon; it is a societal one with the ultimate goal being to have individuals with all types of disabilities live, work and be educated in their own communities. For this reason it is imperative that the schools adjust to serve all students. If we do not work in this line, it is conceivable that he/she will not develop the necessary skills for how to effectively live and work with them. EBE-EUSMOSI have the aim to identify and integrate, within a reference model, the research procedures which can contribute to an evidence-based validation of educational programs aimed at school inclusion for all pupils. The PROSEL program was conceived: (1) From the will to experiment with innovative didactic practices which support the structure of an inclusive school through the development of social, prosocial and emotional skills in all students; (2) From the commitment to give teachers, appropriate “tools” useful in their daily work and adaptable in the increasingly heterogeneous classes. Four basic approaches to implement the PROSEL program: Systematical teaching of the social-emotional and prosocial competences; Integration of the social-emotional and prosocial competences in others subjects; Create a positive climate in class; Engaging the families.

Abstract Given the evolving multimodal features in educational settings, modes other than language further enable the diversity in the realization of meanings and pedagogic goals. This paper explores modality in multimodal pedagogic materials for teaching English as a foreign language in China. Drawing upon the social semiotic approach to modality in visual media, this study provides a comparative analysis of modality markers in different elemental genres that constitute the macrogenre of a teaching unit, with a focus on explaining the underlying reasons for the different choices in terms of coding orientation. It is shown that different degrees of deviation from the accepted coding orientation are employed in different constituent genres of the macrogenre of a given text.

This study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of why foreign language teaching, especially English, believes in using digital trend applications to improve learning effectiveness and evaluation validity in the perspective of current opportunities and challenges. So, for this purpose, the step we take is to examine hundreds of scientific reports on teaching English in many international contexts to answer the questions above with valid and reliable principles. Because Indonesia is currently in the process of implementing restrictions on public movements to respond to Covid-19, we have decided that this study will depend on secondary data through a Google search engine on scientific journals such as Willey, Taylor & France, Google Book, ERIC, Sagepub, and other international journals. Our data is analyzed with an unusual approach: coding, evaluation, interpretation, and drawing of results that answer the problem of the study. Discussing the results, we found that teaching English believes in digital applications to improve teaching and evaluation effectiveness because these applications have proven to be very innovative and effective in increasing the world's productivity globally. Hopefully, this finding helps develop future teaching studies.

The article focuses on ways to intensify the educational activities of students, to increase their motivation and the quality of knowledge obtained during the study of lexical units of a foreign language using game technologies. The article substantiates the effectiveness of gamification as a new way of organizing training, which has a huge pedagogical potential. It is proved that the use of tools for various games in the educational process increases the probability of achieving the goal, because using game practices, gamification does not turn reality into a game, but gives students game settings that correspond to reality to achieve professional tasks in the context of reality. The authors present a method of using a modern scenario for organizing students' play activities on any topic. It includes components for using game techniques in the classroom – word search, memory game, bingo, and crossword puzzle. Skills of using such techniques help students in the process of learning a foreign language, motivating students to independent creative work and solving problems within the framework of gamification, accompanying the entire educational cycle. Gamification helps to replace external motivation with internal motivation. By modeling certain behavior of students, the teacher increases their integration without their awareness of this fact. Unconscious involvement activates involuntary attention, which is the most effective means of assimilating up to 90 % of information. Active methods encourage students to become the main participants in the educational process. And teamwork when performing a task with gamification elements becomes an important factor in the development of emotional contact between all participants. To help the teacher should come modern educational platforms, where the teacher will adjust their material to the level of training and motivation of students.

Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.
