The present study investigated the feasibility of applying the Silent Way in teaching Japanese to Taiwanese university students. A total of 168 (96 female and 72 male) students in a university in central Taiwan were the subjects of this study. They were studying Japanese as a general course, and were grouped in five classes ranging from freshmen to juniors. Some basic principles and techniques of the Silent Way were adopted in teaching them some vocabulary and 50 Japanese Hiragana sounds during six successive sessions in three weeks. Each administration took about 20 minutes embedded in the normal class time. A 25-item Hiragana sounds oral test was used as the pre-test and post-test in order to examine the effects of applying this method. Using a paired sample T-test (α ≤.05) significant difference between students’ knowledge of the Japanese sounds before and after the experiment was observed. However, comparing female and male students’ gained scores via applying a Mann Whitney U-test, no significant difference was observed. Thus, this study shows that the Silent Way can be used in teaching Japanese sounds and vocabulary, and that the effects for both females and males seem to be the same.

This study aims to find out whether there is a significant effect of chain drill technique on the first year of SMP Negeri 3 Raha. The research question formulated “is there any significant effect of chain drill technique on students’ speaking achievement at SMP Negeri 3 Raha?”. The design of study was pre-experimental research design that consisted of one group pre-test and post-test. The population of this study was all students on the first year of SMP Negeri 3 Raha who were registered in academic year 2017/2018. The sample of this study was one class namely VII3  which consisted of 22 students. The instrument of this study was oral test in dialogue based on the cue card about how to greet and respond. The research used Paired Sample T- test to analyze the result of the study of the effect of chain drill technique on students’ speaking achievement after analyzing the normality of the data in the experimental class. The result shows that students’ speaking ability in the post test is 2.806 higher than 1.647 is the post test. The hypothesis testing is found that the level of significant is 0.00, since the level of significance value is less than 0.05, i.e. 0.00<0.05, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and H1 is accepted. It means that the use of chain drill technique shows a significant difference on students’ speaking achievement on the first year of SMP Negeri 3 Raha based on the result of the post-test. Keywords: Speaking, Teaching Speaking, Chain Drill Technique

Objetivo: Analizar los efectos de un programa de estimulación motriz de 8 semanas basado en actividades lúdicas, en el nivel de desarrollo motor grueso de varones escolares de tercero y cuarto básico del Instituto Salesiano Valdivia. Método: Participaron 15 alumnos hombres, con una edad de 9.03±0.63 años en un programa de estimulación motriz basado en actividades lúdicas, realizando tres sesiones semanales, por un tiempo de ocho semanas. Se midió el nivel de desarrollo motor grueso antes y después de la intervención, utilizando el Test de Desarrollo Motor Grueso (TGMD-2), el cual determina la edad motriz a través de la evaluación de habilidades manipulativas y locomotoras. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que hubo una diferencia significativa entre pre y post test en las habilidades locomotoras (p= .0006) manipulativas (p= .0006) y el quociente de los resultados (p= .0006), pasando de un 93% de niños bajo edad, pobre y muy pobre a un 93% de niños en categorías en la edad y sobre la edad. Conclusión: Se concluye que el programa de estimulación motriz basado en actividades lúdicas mejora significativamente los niveles de desarrollo motor en niños. Abstract. Objective: To analyze the effects of an 8-week motor stimulation program based on playful activities, in the level of gross motor development of third and fourth grade school boys from the Salesiano Valdivia Institute. Method: 15 male students, with an age of 9.03±0.63 years, participated in a motor stimulation program based on recreational activities, performing three weekly sessions, for a period of eight weeks. The level of gross motor development was measured before and after the intervention, using the Test Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2), which determines motor age through the evaluation of manipulative and locomotor skills. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the locomotor skills (p= .0006) and manipulative (p= .0006) and the quoient of the results (p= .0006), going from 93% of children low age, poor and very poor even 93% of children in categories in age and over age.

This research aimed to investigate Google Classroom's effect on blended learning on university students’ English ability. This research utilized a quasi-experimental design which included experimental and control group design.  The study participants comprised 68 students in the first semester at STMIK-AMIK Riau in Pekanbaru-Riau, Indonesia. This research instrument was an achievement test in multiple-choice questions administered to the participants in pre-test and post-test.  The quantitative data were collected by using pre-test and post-test to gauge the students’ English ability before and after conducting the treatments in both groups. The finding revealed that statistically, there was a significant difference in the mean score between the experimental and control group in the post-test. The experimental group that learned English through Google Classroom in blended learning achieved a significantly higher score than control group that learned English through the conventional method.  It was proved that the t-test was higher than the t-table value (5.270>2.042) at the level of significance 0.05 and p=0.000. This study concluded that blended learning through Google Classroom had contributed to the improvement of students’ English ability.

In this study, we aimed to increase the knowledge, awareness, and normalization adaptation of university students about the disease with the pieces of training given by academicians about COVID-19 and thus contribute to the control of the epidemic. We also aimed at writing education on disease risk perceptions and anxiety levels related to COVID-19 disease. In the study, two weeks of online education were planned for university students on COVID19 disease. A questionnaire was prepared to give knowledge about the anxiety and risk perceptions of the students about COVID-19 disease. Questionnaire training and finally administered. It was analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 program. Whereas the number of students who answered the pre-education questionnaire was 116, 56 students completed the questionnaire at the end of the training. There was no intelligent difference in the risk perceptions of the students about getting sick and losing their lives from illness before and after education. There is no significant difference in the results of the Wilcoxon signed sum of ranks test for the GAD7 scale scores that made the post-test (p = 0.905, z = -0.11). Except for 9 students who did both tests, 107 pre-tests and 47 post-tests did not differ significantly between the groups in terms of disease risk and GAB7 grading (p> 0.05). As a result, the motivation of university students to participate in the struggle against the pandemic is weak. Ensuring that health-related university students, as well as students from different faculties, participate in the fight against COVID-19 with educational studies will be important in controlling the epidemic.
