The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between leaders’ interpersonal communication skills and nurses’ innovative behaviour. Moreover, innovative behaviour is essential for nurses in today’s dynamic healthcare systems whereby, the interpersonal communication skill has become an increasingly important factor in enhancing innovative behaviour. This study is based on the conceptual framework of interpersonal communication skills, innovative behaviour, and perceived trustworthiness. Using stratified sampling technique, questionnaires were distributed to 246 nurses’ grade U29 in three public state hospitals in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. Since this is a correlational study, a quantitative research method is employed to determine the existing relationship between the variables. Findings indicated that the head nurses implemented moderately all the five components of interpersonal communication skills. The existence of perceived trustworthiness was found to improve the interaction between both parties to transform nurses to generate innovation in their work. The study concluded that interpersonal communication skills are required to be implemented by leaders in enhancing nurses’ innovative behaviour.

EFL education shifts from teaching language core competences into promoting communicative competence and developing multiliteracies pedagogy. Through this learning mode, EFL learners can develop language, interpersonal communication, inter-cultural understanding as well as life learning skills. Group work learning assisted by technology use in EFL classroom is one of many approaches to equip EFL learners with such skills. During the process of learning in groups, EFL students experience and potentially learn social skills through their group dynamics. This study aims to explore group dynamic aspects in EFL learning: what the students experience and learn. The study adopts qualitative research methods. The data are collected through students’ narrative texts revealing their experiences in working in groups to create video. The study finds that in accomplishing group tasks, the students are learning some aspects. The first is the identification process, in which they are aligning themselves to the shared identity, emotion, goals, character of groups (self to group identification) as well as group to self identification. The second aspect is the students are learning cooperatively and collaboratively in team development process. The third aspect is learning leadership and organizational management, in which they are learning structure, norms, rules and social system in group.

Most of teachers in Aceh have not applied innovative teaching models as suggested in the Curiculum 2013. Generally they teach without using curriculum models suggested in the 2013 curriculum. Teachers are not yet fully informed about the learning models, so teachers are difficulty and rarely apply in the learning process. Based on the problems experienced by these teachers, then the thing done to solve the problem is to provide training and mentoring activities. Subjects in this study teachers SDN Banda Aceh as many as 40 people. This study employed descriptive qualitative method. Training on the learning model based on the 2013 curriculum for two days includes: first day of theoretical training on learning model; The second day, the training to practice the learning model that will be developed. Further assistance in developing and practicing the model of learning in the classroom for four months. In the process of mentoring teachers guided from the process of making learning tools such as RPP, Media and LKS. The results showed that only 30% applied the models suggested in the curriculum 2013. Teachers' efforts in applying these models are demonstrated by the teacher's persistence from the process of making the lesson plan, it seems that the teachers who applied the models were enthusiastic in fixing model-based RPPs, looking at modules, designing the required media, and asking actively when something is poorly understood. Teachers are recommended to apply the 2013 curriculum learning models in order to have innovative classroom activities that can make the students active and enthusiastic.

The development of science and technology and their application in society, led to the overcoming of traditional models of learning and the introduction of new, innovative teaching models. Contemporary teaching of physical education is based on interdisciplinarity, which is a good basis for even greater application of new learning models, especially the project based learning. The project based learning puts students at the center, so that, through the realization of the project, they develop their own competencies. The aim of the paper is to present the results of the research in the teaching of physical education, in which project teaching is applied, as well as the interdisciplinary physical education. The work is based on a review of the relevant literature, i.e. analysis of the results of the research of the same. For the search of foreign works, the base of the academic journals JURN, ЕRIC, EBSCO, Taylor & Francis, Research Gate, which includes research in the field of social sciences was used. The advantages of applying the project model, the recommendations for applying it in teaching of physical education, and the increase in the number of research on the subject are highlighted.

As the topic suggests, the research paper presents Study of Consonant Pronunciations Errors Committed by EFL Learners. Error analysis always tries to resolve language learners’ problems in acquiring second or foreign language setting. Learning to English pronunciation is perhaps as important as learning listening skill, speaking, and spelling. Errors in English pronunciation create several problems for English language learners in their works. In other words, most of the English language errors of pronunciation are due to the lack of knowledge of language learners. However, all the students in our sample are of age group (16-25) at Bushehr language institute and they are all Iranian nationals. In addition, all of them were female learners. An English pronunciation (consonant) test was used to get information about the knowledge of the learners in English pronunciation. Findings of this article indicated that the first and second hypotheses of this article were accepted, but the third hypothesis was rejected. However, the findings of this paper showed that the Iranian EFL students have problem to pronounce English sounds correctly.

Although the second language (L2) acquisition of morphology by late L2 learners has been a popular research area over the past decades, comparatively little is known about the acquisition and development of morphology in children who learn English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, the current study presents the findings from a longitudinal oral production study with 9/10-year-old L1 Croatian EFL students who were followed up at the age of 11/12. Our results are largely in line with the limited research so far in this area: young EFL learners have few issues using the be copula and, eventually, the irregular past simple forms, but had considerable problems with accurately supplying the 3rd person singular -s at both data collection points. We also observed a be + base form structure, especially at the earlier stage, which appears to be an emergent past simple construction.
