Deaf students have different abilities from students who have the ability to hear a lesson at school. Barriers to hear experienced by students with hearing impairment can affect the language, academic, and social skills of deaf students. Deaf students can still obtain information from other senses that are still functioning, such as the senses of sight, touch, taste and smell or of residual hearing that still exist. In the world of education, one way to overcome this obstacle is by making multimedia based learning materials which consider the principles of learning for learners with hearing impairment; a series of development of the elements of audio, visual, and digital technology to facilitate the learning activities of deaf students so that the passion, quality, and achievement of deaf students can be improved.

This paper established whether teachers used relevant teaching strategies, learning materials and teaching material while teaching in inclusive schools in Kenya. The Kenyan government has commitment to inclusive education (IE). However there are many challenges hindering effective provision of IE. This study adopted a mixed-methods research design that yielded both qualitative and quantitative data. Schools were sampled using stratified random sampling and purposive sampling technique with 12 Sub-counties as the strata. Simple random sampling techniques was used to select 826 learners while purposive sampling was used to select 33 deputy head teachers, 31 class teachers and 4 Educational officers. Census sampling was used to select 1 County Director of Education. Questionnaires, interview schedule, observation check lists, document analysis guide and focus group discussion were used to collect data. Reliability of the instruments were determined through split half method with the correlation coefficients of r = 0.7122 and r = 0.832 for learners and teachers' questionnaires respectively. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially by correlation. Qualitative data were transcribed and presented as emergent themes. Findings showed that the teachers employed a variety of teaching strategies in inclusive classes; however, some strategies were not responsive to learners' needs. In addition, inadequacy of resources, and lack of modification and adaptation of learning environment was observed. It is recommended that the Government of Kenya should provide relevant resources and modify the environment to be responsive to learners with SNE.

Using Schatzki’s practices framework as a lens, this paper reports on the practices of university students accessing learning resources at a research-intensive university in South Africa. Using a mixed methods approach, 1001 survey responses and six focus groups were analysed to explore how students in three professional disciplines access learning resources, with the focus on digitally-mediated piracy practices. The findings suggest a blurring between the legal and the illegal and indicate the normalcy of piracy practices, with nuanced distinctions and understandings manifest.

It is widely believed that learning or teaching a language in an academic environment is not possible without any materials. However, recently this argument has been put under scrutiny as to which types of materials motivate learners to learn a language. This paper focuses on the extent to which the current available ‘printed’ materials help learners to learn English as a foreign language (EFL) at Universities in Kurdistan, which is a region located in north of Iraq. Samples of the materials that are being taught at universities have been evaluated. The opinions of both English language teachers and learners have been taken into account by using ‘mixed’ method of research. Furthermore, the possibility making any changes in the materials will be another issue, this paper addresses. One aim of this paper is to discuss the impact of today’s materials on EFL learning in Kurdistan. Another aim is to give a rigorous analysis of how materials help a learner to learn English language.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie, jak włączyć teksty prozatorskie do pracy z uczącymi się języka polskiego jako obcego na niższych poziomach zaawansowania (do B1 włącznie). Pierwszą część tekstu poświęcono przeglądowi dostępnych materiałów edukacyjnych i opracowań teoretycznych na temat literatury w glottodydaktyce. Na podstawie tych rozpoznań sformułowano ogólne założenia dotyczące wyboru utworów do nauczania języka polskiego — za wartościowe w nauczaniu uznano teksty współczesne oraz potencjalnie bliskie odbiorcom za sprawą uniwersalnych tematów i, w miarę możliwości, realiów. Podkreślono konieczność adaptacji tekstu do zajęć dydaktycznych (wskazując inne poświęcone temu zagadnieniu artykuły). Druga część szkicu stanowi praktyczny przewodnik po adaptacji utworu literackiego (tu: opowiadania Olgi Tokarczuk Pasażer z tomu Opowiadania bizarne) do nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego. Za szczególnie istotne w procesie adaptacji uznano ograniczenie ingerencji w tekst do niezbędnych zabiegów oraz wykorzystanie internacjonalizmów i synonimów. Wskazano również korzyści płynące z równoległej lektury więcej niż jednej uproszczonej wersji oryginału.

The goal of mathematics in the basic education level is to produce students that are critical thinkers and problem solvers. This is the challenge of every mathematics teacher in this new normal where education is delivered through distance learning modality. This study sought to assess and improve students' problemsolving skills through learning activity sheets tailored through Polya's Four-Step Model to selected students of San Jose National High School for school year 2020-2021. Descriptive-Experimental design was utilized in the study participated by thirty (30) Grade 9-Compassion students. A teacher made the learning activity sheets and survey questionnaire was utilized. Mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentages, Pearson product moment of correlation and repeated measures ANOVA were the statistical treatments used. Based on the findings, there is a low level of cognitive demand when it comes to memorization and processes without connections while somewhat high on the aspects of doing Mathematics tasks and procedures with connecting tasks, seeing that there are students which are more inclined in following patterns and routine activities. There was a significant difference on the respondents' problem-solving skills in terms of understanding, planning and look back, as proven by the increase of students achieving Exemplary and Accomplished levels after immersing themselves in said learning materials. Using Polya's model, it has been determined that learning materials are important in helping students understand the concepts presented based on their learning capacities. In addition, time is a significant factor in learning. The researcher recommends the provision of more extensive pre-test and post-test in assessing students' improvement, in addition to the development of student-specific learning materials when it comes to Mathematics. The effect of interventions or one-on-one teaching can also be examined if these will be able to influence results and further student understanding.
