Al-Qur'an illiteracy eradication with animated video in Sukarami, Bengkulu City

The development of various methods for learning the Qur'an illustrates the importance of Qur'anic education and the public's awareness of the need for it. In reality, however, many people are still unable to read the Qur'an properly. One option is to use engaging learning media such as Macromedia Flash Player animated videos. The PKM-S program's goal is to eliminate illiteracy in the Qur'an while also increasing insight, knowledge, and understanding of the significance of reading it. Training and mentoring are used to carry out service activities. This training activity is expected to increase partners' empowerment by raising morale about God's love and truth, as well as increasing knowledge of how to read the Qur'an in a way that is good and correct according to the rules.

Addressing Problems with Reading in English: A Case Study of Five Bangladeshi Teachers

Reading is generally considered as one of the essential language learning skills. Unfortunately, in most Bangladeshi government secondary schools, reading is not given its due respect. Recent research indicates that reading is as much important a skill as speaking or writing and therefore, Bangladeshi teachers need to change their mindset towards the significance of reading in classroom, to make the L2 learning a helpful experience for students. Five Bangladeshi teachers from three different schools took part in the study. This study is aimed to see Bangladeshi teacher’s analysis of reading problems of their students and the teaching strategies they use in classrooms for teaching reading skills by using questionnaire and interviews as research tools. The research found that teachers recognise students’ reading problems and sincerely try to address these but their biggest impediment is the class size for which students are left alone with their reading difficulties. If this skill is not aptly addressed at this level, learning the other three language skills will be difficult for the second language learners. Hence this research suggests that teachers’ analysis of the reading problems should be given importance to ensure students’ maximum L2 learning.

A Big Question for Digital Experts: What Is the Driller Trying To Do?

Digital drilling experts spend a lot of time wondering “what was the driller thinking?” They are not being sarcastic. The question matters for those doing analysis or writing control algorithms because the significance of readings, such as level of torque at any moment, depends on what the driller is doing at the time. The interpretation is different if the rig is drilling, where significant torque is required, or reaming, where the resistance is likely minimal. “During the reaming process, a spike in torque indicates something altogether different from a similar spike while drilling. So, the machine must recognize at least these two states: drilling and reaming,” said Fred Florence, a drilling consultant. He is among a group of drilling automation advocates who put rig state on a short list of issues that must be addressed to make it possible to create drilling systems where multiple devices can read and react in sync to changing drilling conditions. In other words, they want to know the information in the driller’s head now, said Moray Laing, director of digital value well construction engineering for Halliburton. That means an automated device needs to know what the driller is doing and also be aware of concerns that could require quick reactions. “Unless we can give it the same situational awareness of a human, it will not be able to manage the complexity of the process,” said Darryl Fett, Total’s manager of research drilling and wells in Houston. Rig state differences also plague those trying to analyze drilling data who need to know what else was going on at the time. They struggle with multiwell data where different methods of calculating the rig state were used. Drillers leave a record of their work in drilling logs. But this after-the-fact report typically lacks the precise timing sought by digital analysts using high-frequency data to analyze events that can happen suddenly. “A data scientist working on drilling will tell you that one of their biggest pains is someone will ask them to build a model on lost circulation and here is some data,” Laing said. That analysis is not possible unless someone can offer details about when the fluid losses began, how long they lasted, and other bits of context that might matter, such as the drilling fluid properties at the time. When asked for a basic explanation of the rig state, Crispin Chatar, drilling subject matter expert for Schlumberger, compared it to bringing a car that has been overheating to the shop. The mechanic will ask what was happening when the trouble began. Did the trouble start while driving fast on a freeway? While stuck in traffic? Did it happen after the radiator fluid warning light went on? “Every single engineer who works in drilling optimization, drilling analytics, or any one of our remote operation centers uses rig state to quickly and clearly understand what is going on at the well-site in terms of drilling operations or what the system might be seeing downhole,” Chatar said.

Reading characteristics as a type of speech activity

This article examines the role and significance of reading. As it is known, practical language proficiency is primarily the ability of the student to use the acquired skills in the Russian language in their activities. Reading contributes to the improvement of other types of speech activity and the preservation of knowledge of the language being studied, in particular speaking skills.

Role of Short Stories in EFL Classes

The research seeks to investigate why most teachers at Cristiano Paulo Secondary School are not using short stories in English Language Teaching despite the fact that they know the importance of short stories, and suggest techniques to increase the use of short stories in ELT (English Language Teaching). The study will take place in Niassa Province, specifically at Cristiano Paulo Taimo Secondary School – Lichinga. The sample of this study will be students and teachers of English of grade 12 of the school aforementioned and will be determined through simple random sampling, mixed approach will be the approach in use for this study and data for this study will be collected through questionnaires and observation. 2 teachers of English and 10 students of grade 12 participated in the survey study. The data will be analyzed through statistics and themes. Searching for practical ways to improve students’ English language skills is a real concern for all English teachers. There is a consensus among English Language Teaching practitioners regarding the significance of reading for learning new languages, since reading gives depth to language learning (Stern, 2001). Therefore, teachers are obligated to provide their students with interesting and suitable texts to read. Real stories are by far more interesting and involving than scientific and historical texts. Thus, the researcher expects that this study will help teachers to improve the teaching of English Language through short stories and students will be able to develop speaking skills.

Remembering the atrocities of their ancestral lands: reading Korean American “comfort women” novels in Japan

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the significance of reading two Korean American novels which address the issue of Japanese military sexual slavery (known as the “comfort women” system) in the context of Japan: Nora Okja Keller’s Comfort Woman and Chang-rae Lee’s A Gesture Life. I will explore how this act can facilitate the understanding of the militarized sexual violence in the present social and discursive context of Japan, where the issue suffers from a strong backlash. Lee’s A Gesture Life with its critique of multiple militarized imperialisms challenges the Japanese revisionists’ effort to deny the egregious wrongs of Japan’s military sexual slavery; it also responds to popular criticism in Japan that Korean/Americans disregard the practices of Western imperial and military violence and only condemn Japanese war crimes. The paper in turn also reads Keller’s Comfort Woman through the frame of Joy Kogawa’s Obasan, a Japanese Canadian novel which remembers the internment and U.S. atomic bombing of Nagasaki. My aim here is to examine both the risks and possibilities which this reading can generate. While it can help us see the comparable acts of remembering war sufferings from the standpoint of diasporas, it can also erase the non-equivalence between the two histories.

The overall and differential effects of a targeted prekindergarten program: Evidence from Connecticut

With a large volume of literature pointing to the beneficial impact of pre-kindergarten, researchers, educators, and policymakers are now raising questions about what works for whom, under what conditions, as well as conducting cost-benefit analyses of such endeavors. However, few studies exist on the differential and contextual effects of these programs, creating opportunities for new research in this area. This paper addresses this issue by reporting on the short-term effects of a state-funded pre-kindergarten program, including the potential differential effects among students of color and students from lower income families. Using data from the Connecticut School Readiness Program (CSRP), we use a regression discontinuity design to examine the causal impact of attending the CSRP on average, and by race and income across four different outcomes (reading, oral language, vocabulary, and mathematics). We find that, in the aggregate, attending the CSRP provided the strongest and most consistent outcomes in reading and mathematics. However, heterogeneity analyses indicate variation in impact. The magnitude and significance of reading and mathematics effects were positive but smaller for Black children. Null effects were detected for Latinx students. There was suggestive evidence that mathematics impacts may be smaller for students from low-income families, while reading impacts are uniformly positive irrespective of family income. Possible explanations for differential impact findings are explored.

Reading Disability and Transition Programsb

To transition through high school and into adulthood is a complicated and overwhelming process even for students of typical development. For students with disabilities, there is added concern about the intellectual, neurological, and or physical barriers they also need to overcome. Employed adults with a Reading Disability often have low wages and they are housed in low-rent areas. Low rent areas often have more crime and there is more exposure to drugs. A person who has a Reading Disability is more apt to be subject to negative peer influences and has more of a likelihood to succumb to substance abuse. Those who have a Reading Disability are also more apt to be victims of a crime, or commit more crimes themselves due to socio-economics. Because of their living conditions or socio-economic status, these people may also feel alienation and emotional complications [1] which can lead to further disability. The importance of this paper is to highlight the significance of reading ability to quality of life, address the need for further research and development of effective intervention transition programs, and explore potential programs. A successful transition plan is necessary to effectively move a student with Reading Disability into adulthood.

Improving the Reading Comprehension Skills of the First Year International College Thai Students Through Unlocking of Difficult Words

In my experience as a foreign teacher for more than a decade in Thailand, I always reminded my students that education is a key to open up new door of opportunities locally and internationally. Everyone needs a key that is fulfilling, invigorating and self-sustaining. Opportunities rarely knock on us. The feeling of being left behind others in terms of skills and abilities in the academic performance is a big challenge to identify learning strategy to progress. The classroom environment is unhealthy if this happened and experienced by some slow learners. At present, students who are now considered millennial is said to be smart and brain based. The only thing teachers must know is how to support and develop their existing brilliance so that they can compete with national and global professions. Reading is one of the four significant language skills for academic success and professional development (Dorkchandra 2010). Reading is one of the most salient education tools because it is our convenient means to access into the rich repository of knowledge accumulated and preserved by mankind in printed matter. It is largely through reading that we require much of the information of concepts which to be remembered. Reading is considered as the most important subjects in the curriculum. The significance of reading as a school subject cannot refuse. Every student who fails to comprehend on what they are reading may unsubstantially provide answers on questions being asked upon them. Skill in reading is a fundamental factor, a must needs that enable help or inspire that child to succeed in school and later in his activities. Failure or incompetence in the other subjects in the curriculum maybe attributed to lack of interest, skill proficiency, weakness and comprehension in reading. If the child experience in reading were not positive his vocational adoption and efficiency would be severely affected. Findings and Discussions This chapter presents, analyzes and interprets the finding of the study. The table shows the data of the pretest and posttest. Table 1 show that the weighted averages mean of the posttest (18.18) was greater than the pretest (16.86). The averages mean of the pretest scores and posttest scores was 1.28 As a result, the comprehension level of the students when difficult words are unlocked prior to story reading has a higher mean (18.18) rather than the pretest (16.86). This means that it is really an effective strategy in teaching. This could help the students develop their critical thinking and to help them understand the story well. Moreover, it really arouses the interest of the learners to participate in the classroom discussion. Conclusion and Recommendation Based on the data gathered and tabulated, the researcher concluded that; 1. There is a difference between the pretest and posttest where the posttest scores are higher than the pretest scores. 2. Unlocking difficult words in reading stories is very effective in improving reading comprehension of students. Recommendations: Based on the following findings and conclusion of this study in improving performance in reading comprehension, the researcher recommends that; 1. The result of this study should inspire English teachers to unlocked difficult words after reading the short story in improving students’ performance. 2. Seminar-workshop must be conducted to equip teachers with the reading knowledge and skills needed in unlocking difficult words before reading them story. 3. Unlocking difficult words should be conducted for the students especially the slow learners. 4. Parents should be updated and informed of their children’s reading deficiencies so they can help them to overcome their difficulties on reading comprehension.

Significance of Reading and Writing in Understanding Islamic Study Subject Matter: Knowledge of Pre-School Teachers

The strong ties between education and Islam can be emphasized by revisiting the first revelation in Islam. The superiority of Man above all creatures was solely due to the knowledge base. Islam stresses comprehensive education programme including education for the body, mind, and soul. Best way to educate a child is to start from the early childhood. This paper serves the purpose of ascertaining the importance of reading and writing in understanding the Islamic study subject matter. For that purpose, the teachers of early childhood from different Islamic school systems in Lahore were randomly selected. Data were collected from 100 early childhood Islamic subject teachers through a self-developed closed ended questionnaire. Data were tabulated and analyzed in the SPSS version 20.0. Means, Standard Deviations, Frequencies, Percentages, and Inferential statics like t-test, and one-way ANOVA were applied to interpret the data. Results revealed that teachers were aware about the significance of reading and writing in order to understand the Islamic subject matter and were practicing in their respective classrooms. Practical implications and recommendations made thereof, can be useful to maintain the deep roots of Islam with education, fertile.

Integrating True Short Stories into English Classes: The Case of Foundation Students in Oman

Searching for practical ways to improve students’ English language skills is a real concern for all English teachers. There is a consensus among ELT practitioners regarding the significance of reading for learning new languages, since reading gives depth to language learning (Stern, 2001). Thus, teachers are obligated to provide their students with interesting and suitable texts to read. Real stories are by far more interesting and involving than scientific and historical texts. The present study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of reading true short stories and its benefits. The study data were collected through a survey and participant observation of 19 level D students in Oman. The study findings indicated that using stories during English class was an interesting experience and had good potential as a tool to improve English language skills. The meaningful context created by the true short stories made it much easier for the teacher to conduct and run the class.

Writing sound and radical fiction: the abyssal space of writing, reading and listening

ABSTRACTThis article aims to establish a connection between Daniela Cascella's writing sound and Maurice Blanchot's radical fiction. It will show how Cascella's interest in the relationship between sound and writing pulls her toward a similar abyssal space as the one Blanchot arrives at in his critical essays and own works of fiction. By firstly distinguishing her work, by emphasising its poetic power, from certain trends in sound studies, this essay will read Cascella alongside the writing of Blanchot. It will be shown how both Cascella and Blanchot's writing circles a vanishing point in which the inaugural moment of writing slowly dissipates. The significance of reading will then be explored as a prolongation of this dispossessing temporality of writing. Importantly, then, this article is not trying to say something about the ontological dimension of sound. The commonality drawn between these two authors will be positioned according to the strangeness of writing.

Infrastructure turned suprastructure: Unpredictable materialities and visions of a Nigerian nation

There are signs hidden in the infrastructure. In the Nigerian city of Jos, the unpredictable availability of power, fuel, water, etc. becomes a vehicle of meaning. In many settings across the globe, infrastructure is often made invisible, and the centre stage that it takes in everyday life remains unrecognized. In Jos, however, as in many African cities, the constant need to predict its flows contradicts the prefix infra (below); rather than being hidden beneath the realm of experience it is brought to the surface as a puzzle to be figured out. These explorations in turn come to reveal matters beyond the infrastructure itself. Just as diviners infer the state of the world from the stones they have thrown, reading significance out of the seeming randomness of matter, the infrastructure turns intricate questions into tangible clues. It becomes a suprastructure – a divination tool giving clues about the past, present and future of the Nigerian nation.

Alienation or empowerment? Reading, writing, and orature in God’s Bits of Wood

The article presents the significance of reading, writing, and orature in Ousmane Sembene’s classic novel, “God’s Bits of Wood” in light of theories regarding education and foreign language reading particularly in the context of a decolonizing West Africa. A close reading of the text reveals Sembene’s preoccupations with the politics and utility of literature and orature. Ultimately, Sembene can be seen to allow for a hybrid text and culture where written and oral language are both used to serve the interests of a community.
