This study determined the effectiveness of the English Proficiency Training Program for pre-service teachers at the University of Northern Philippines, Vigan City, and School Year-2013. It likewise looked into the English professors’ assessment of the program and the pre-service teachers’ level of English proficiency before and after undergoing the program. Data gathered using the English Proficiency Test and the Survey Questionnaire were treated using frequency, rank and percentage, mean, Kendall Coefficient of Concordance, and t test.  The following were the findings: a) the breadth of the respondents’ errors reflects the need to address their language deficits; b) the Training Program was Very Highly Acceptable; c) the evaluators have more or less similar assessment of the Training Program, and d) the English Proficiency of the pre-service teachers improved after undergoing the Training Program. Based on the results, the following are recommended: a) English teachers should give pre-service teachers more fun-filled drills to reinforce the latters’ learning of grammar; b) the English Proficiency Training Program for pre-service teachers be adopted for use; c) others should evaluate the program for further enrichment, and d) the program be used to other respondents to confirm its effectiveness.   Keywords - Second Language, Language Acquisition, Proficiency, Pre-Service Teachers, Training Program, communicative competence, language errors, Training Design, language teaching, language teachers

The study aims to identify the effectiveness of a structural theory-based training program in enhancing the teaching practices of Arabic language teachers teaching grade ten in South Al Batinah in Sultanate of Oman. The study used the quasi-experimental design, and the sample consisted of 40 male and female teachers. To achieve the objectives of the study, a training program, an observation form and a measurement tool of teachers’ tendencies towards a structural teaching were made. The program was implemented with an experimental group of 20 female and male teachers in the first semester of the academic year 2018/2019. The study has found that there is a statistically significant difference between the average grades before and after implementing the program, with higher grades achieved after implementation. There has also been no statistically significant difference between the average grades in the post implementation phase due to the social variable. The researcher recommended organizing training courses for Arabic language teachers to expand their knowledge of educational theories and their applications in classroom teaching practices, and benefiting from the structural teaching observation form in educational supervision.

To provide access to education for all Indonesians, the government develops both formal and nonformal education both of which are to produce qualified man power as stated in the Acts of No. 20, 2003. However, to do this non-formal education should have teachers and education personnel fulfilling the requirements of quality and quantity. This article discusses a number of problems in providing teachers and education personnel for non formal education. It invites the universities organizing teachers training to develop programs for the teachers of nonformal education. Due to the big number of the teachers with the variety of specialties needed at present and in the future, this article suggests developing and strengthening the existing teacher training program at the university to become a Faculty of Non Formal Teachers.

This research aimed at detecting the efficiency of a computerized training program based on programming the educational roboticists to develop creative thinking skills for the eighth grade basic education students at Manba'a El-Hekma School in Dhofar Governorate. Also, it investigates the nature of the proposed program, the efficiency of the program, and the significance differences between the two groups. The researcher used the experimental curriculum with the two groups; controlled and experimental to achieve the aims of the research and to test its hypotheses. The sample of the research consisted of 30 Students during the first term of the school year 2018/2019 and they were selected intentionally. Each group included 15 students. The experimental group students were trained to program the educational robotics using the computerized training program. Torrance test of creative thinking was applied before and after on the two groups, in addition to an evaluation card to the projects of the Students. The results showed that there are differences with statistical indication on the level of 0.5 between the two averages of the degrees of the experimental and the controlled groups, before and after the application of the creative thinking test and in the evaluation card of the Students' projects in the experimental group. By implication the research recommended to merge the techniques of the educational robotics and the artificial intelligence in teaching and education and training for provide the female teachers on using that technology and encouraging them to employ it in the process of teaching, using the electronic program prepared in this study.

Development And Validation

Playful learning strategies, such as educational gamification, game-based learning, and escape rooms are increasingly being incorporated into the university education system. In this study, it aims to develop and validate an instrument to analyze motivation regarding the use of playful learning strategies in university students. A total of 450 university students aged between 18 and 55 (Mean = 22.72; Standard Deviation = 5.01) were part of the sample, with whom playful strategies were implemented during the 2019/2020 school year. The results obtained in the confirmatory factor analysis indicate that the questionnaire on motivation for playful learning strategies has adequate psychometric properties to assess the motivation and perception of student learning in the implementation of ludic strategies in the classroom in the Spanish university context.
