Multimedia-assisted teaching results in eliminating traditional training barriers, facilitating cognition process and upgrading learning outcomes. This study attempted to examine the effects of implementing multimedia on teaching technical translation model and on the technical text translation ability of Iranian translation studies students. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a total of forty-six learners were selected out of fifty-seven participants in a higher education center in Tehran based on their scores in Preliminary English Test (PET) and were divided randomly in the experimental and control groups. Prior to the treatment, a technical text translation questionnaire was devised and then validated by three assistant professors of engineering fields and three assistant professors of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at the university. This questionnaire was administered as a pretest to both groups. Control and experimental groups were trained for five successive weeks using identical course books but with a different lesson plan that allowed employing multimedia for experimental group only. The devised and approved questionnaire was administered as posttest to both groups at the end of the instruction. A multivariate ANOVA was run to compare the two groups' means on the PET, pretest and posttest. The results showed the rejection of all null hypotheses of the study and revealed that multimedia significantly improved technical text translation ability of the learners.

Reading is an essential skill for second and foreign language learners. It is the heart of all formal learning. Students 'success or failure in reading at early grades resonates throughout the rest of their lives. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between reading anxiety and reading strategy use of Iranian elementary level EFL learners. The participants of this study were fifty students with the age range of 14 to 28 years old, both from female and male of Iranian EFL elementary learners from Beynolmelal English language institute in Tehran. The research design of this study was quantitative. In order to collect data two basic instruments were administered to the participants. The first instrument was a questionnaire that was administered to investigate the participants' level of reading anxiety. The second questionnaire was in addition used to examine the participants' reading strategy use. The first questionnaire was composed of 20 items which were rated by a five-point Likert scale, ranging from five point (strongly agree) to one point (strongly disagree). The second questionnaire consisted of 30 items similarly rated on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from one point (I never or almost never do this) to five points (I always or almost always do this). The correlation coefficient between the reading anxiety and reading strategy use would be determined out with the assistance of IBM SPSS. The findings of this study would be expected to give valuable information to English teachers and material developers to recognize the elementary level learners' anxiety level and improve their reading strategy use in language classes.

Theoretically this research offers an approach that is different from what has been made by previous researchers. Using the M.D.S Simatupang free context approach this research contrasts the reduplicative forms of all word classes and shows the relationships between them (AA, AABB, ABAB, ABB) and their basic forms (A, AB), then based on test of categorical word and test of lexical decomposition as proposed by J.W.M Verhaar, this study analyzes and explains reduplication and inflectional reduplication in Mandarin in order to students understand as their meaning vocabularies. As a result, this research examines the derivational and inflectional reduplication in Mandarin all at once can disseminate the use of morphological theory. In addition, this study discusses Mandarin reduplication based on various word classes that are contained as a basis for the relevant form of reduplication.

Vocabulary learning is an integral part of foreign language learning. The meaning of new words is very often emphasised, both in books and in verbal communication. Vocabulary is considered a centre of language teaching and is very important for language learners. This study found a daily code-mixing strategy in learning English vocabulary in the second grade of secondary school. The method used is qualitative and quantitative. The research phase includes pre-test and post-test, questionnaire and interview. The findings show that there is an influence on the level of student skills in using the strategy. Furthermore, it also found that students with higher vocabulary levels tended to take lessons in class interactively, this became fun, and students could motivate themselves they usually succeeded in learning by asking, monitoring and evaluating their learning habits. The findings also show that students with low vocabulary levels tend to choose to ignore direction and lack of participation, which means that they do not care about the course of the teacher and still carry unfavourable habits in the classroom. The findings of this study contribute to the further development of existing code-mixing theory and about vocabulary students and strategies. This study refers to giving benefits to classroom practice in the Indonesian context, specifically in increasing EFL teacher awareness so as not to focus solely on existing strategies, but rather look at the phenomena that occur around to create new strategies in teaching English.

Writing, especially cursive handwriting, helps children train their motor skills. To teach cursive handwriting, the pre service teacher should have good cursive handwriting skills. It would be nice if during their study, pre service teachers get cursive handwriting training. This article will describe the learning activities of primary teacher education program related to cursive handwriting. Qualitative studies were conducted on 39 students in the same class. The result shows that learning activities which implement planning, implementation and evaluation stages can support students' skills in cursive handwriting. This process is being implemented in order to prepare pre service teachers to have good cursive handwriting skill.

Though some research has been done on second and foreign language (SL/FL) teachers' attitudes, little is known about their cognitive basis while this issue is central to formal teacher education. Employing the rationale of the theory of planned behavior, this in-depth small-scale study investigated the implicit theories which form the cognitive basis of global attitudes towards grammar teaching in informal learning situations. A concise overview of relevant studies on SL/FL teacher attitudes and beliefs on (grammar) classroom teaching was introduced to inform the specific research questions. A general patterns of behavior analysis was innovatively conducted to uncover teachers' global attitudes. Two types of global attitude towards grammar teaching (i.e., curriculum matter, task complexity) were found. These were divided into two hypothesized theories, namely the wholesale grammar teaching theory (WGTT) and the fragmented grammar teaching theory (FGTT). The cross-correlation and simple linear regression analyses showed that global attitudes significantly predicted their corresponding theories with the strongest predictor [beta]=1.20, t(13)=16.63, p &lt; 0.001 and the lowest [beta]=0.92, t(13)=2.24, p=0.04. The WGTT was found to be a uniform entity, whereas the FGTT entailed two distinct sub-categories.

Art-based leadership experiments have gained a foothold in leadership development research. However, few studies have investigated their effectiveness. These studies have included music, drama, art, and performance to develop the dimensions and mind of a leader. This paper describes an experience that measured the impact of an art-based intervention in four dimensions: (1) disorienting dilemma, (2) creative self-efficacy, (3) self-awareness, and (4) sense-making. The art-based experience highlighted participants' need for leadership development to unleash their creativity and increase their self-efficacy and self-awareness, and demonstrated the usefulness of the experience in the process of transforming the mind-set in the classroom, which may also translate to the workplace.
