A teachers' training program is aimed at producing quality and effective teachers who eventually can guide students not only on academic success but also in the lifelong learning. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The target population of study comprised of Mathematics teachers in Konoin Sub County, Bomet County, Kenya. A total of 70 (89.7%) of the mathematics teachers selected participated in the study. The research.....

Abstract: Zusammenfassung: Der Artikel befasst sich mit der Frage, ob die Synergie akustischer (musikalischer) Störfaktoren mit textlinguistischen, kognitiven, psycholinguistischen und psychosomatischen Reaktionen, bei einer bestimmten Lernergruppe einer Fremdsprache unter prüfungsähnlichen Bedingungen eine erkennbare Abweichung in den rezeptiven und produktiven Leistungen hervorrufen können. Für dieses Forschungsunternehmen wurde eine zweischrittige empirische Studie an Studierenden des Fachbereichs für deutsche Sprache und Literatur der Universität Athen durchgeführt. Aufgrund der Befunde der Studie stellte sich heraus, dass Musik als Hintergrundgeräusch bei niedrigeren Niveaustufen einen intensiveren Störfaktor ausmacht als dies für höhere Niveaustufen gilt. Weiterhin ergab sich, dass eine Kombination von Fremdsprachenniveau und externer.....

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of a reading programme on the narrative writing skills of 14 Junior High School students in the grade eight. A total of four narrative texts closely were shared to the students. This quantitative-qualitative research study involved 60 students who participated in a four-week intervention programme. The scores from two groups indicated significant differences in the students' content development, lexical variety and grammatical accuracy. The findings show that high motivation gave an improvement in the writing narrative text in content, lexical variety and grammatical accuracy in students' essays. The students' improvement in the content development aspect shows that reading texts which supplement information common to the students.....
