The information technology has led to the profound transformation of society, economy and education. Multimedia-assisted language teaching (MALT) is one of important applications of information technology to education. As a modern educational technology, MALT has been widely used and it is the main trend in English teaching at present. In this paper, the author will discuss MALT in English class of junior high school with the emphasis on formative assessments.

Technology that is getting more advanced has not only positive but also negative impacts. The number of cyberbullying cases keeps increasing as the use of information technology appliances grows. The subjects of this research were 7th and 8th graders of state junior high school “S”, who were 12-14 years of age and had been using information technologies for at least 2 years. The result of this research showed that peer group conformity and emotional regulation are related to the tendency in them of becoming cyberbulliers as demonstrated by the F value=106.078 and p

This paper proposes a science and technology education program to teach junior high school students to measure terrain changes by using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The objectives of the proposed program are to evaluate and use information technology by performing SAR data processing in order to measure ground deformation, and to incorporate an understanding of Earth sciences by analyzing interferometric SAR processing results. To draft the teaching guidance plan for the developed education program, this study considers both science and technology education. The education program was used in a Japanese junior high school. An educational SAR processor developed by the authors and the customized Delft object-oriented radar interferometric software package were employed. Earthquakes as diastrophism events were chosen as practical teaching materials. The selected events indicate clear ground deformation in differential interferograms with high coherence levels. The learners were able to investigate the ground deformations and disasters caused by the events. They interactively used computers and became skilled at recognizing the knowledge and techniques of information technology, and then they evaluated the technology. Based on the results of pre- and post-questionnaire surveys and self-evaluation by the learners, it was clarified that the proposed program was applicable for junior high school education, and the learners recognized the usefulness of Earth observation technology by using interferometric SAR. The usefulness of the teaching materials in the learning activities was also shown through the practical teaching experience.
