The primary goal of the present study is to identify the problematic areas in the pronunciation of the letter “g” in English written words made by Saudi female learners of English as a foreign language, and the reasons for the weakness associated with mispronunciation of English written words which contain this letter. The population of the study was the female students (90 students) and their English language teachers (12 teachers) at the Qassim University during the academic year (2014-2015). There were two types of instruments used in this study. The first was a pronunciation test for the student participants in order to investigate the problematic areas of pronouncing “g” in different environments in different words; and the second a questionnaire for the teacher participants to provide comprehensive data about the causes of these errors of pronouncing “g” committed by EFL female students at Qassim University. Ninety female students were included for the pronunciation test and 12 teachers were asked to answer the questionnaire. Simple percentage was used for analyzing the data of recording words (pronunciation test). Results of the students’ recording words revealed that the participants mispronounced “g” before nasals (68%). According to the results of the teachers’ responses to the questionnaire suggested many factors that can cause difficulties for students in terms of pronouncing “g” in English written words. According to them, these difficulties are concerned with reading difficulties, nonstandard spellings, letters that follow “g” (many of them may become combinations), loan words, orthography (no correspondence between the English alphabets and their sounds). The researcher offers recommendations that might help teachers and students to overcome and reduce these mispronunciations of this letter in English written words.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine sustainable learning levels of students. The study also attempted to determine sustainable learning levels of students based on gender and grade. The participants of the study consisted of 742 high school students (354 females and 388 males) in various high schools in Babaeski district of Kırklareli, Turkey during the 2017–2018 academic year. In order to collect data, a scale with two subscales – behavioural and cognitive – was developed. The data were analysed through SPSS 17, and arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t-test and one-way analysis of variance (One Way Anova) were used. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that sustainable learning level of the high school students is moderate. The study also found a significant variation in favour of the female students in “learning for development” subdimension on the cognitive subscale of the scale.

Objective: To determine the association of depression, physical activity (PA) levels and general psychological health among physical therapy students of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among students of physiotherapy department at Rawalpindi and Islamabad Institutions, from August 2015 to January 2016. Five hundred students were recruited using non-probability convenient sampling. The data was collected through a questionnaire that comprised of demographic information, Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), General Health Questionnaire-12(GHQ-12) and Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and correlation analysis was performed to see the relationship amongst depression, PA and general psychological health. Results: Majority of the students (42.6%) had mild depression. However, 64.8% students had no psychological distress. Moreover, 33.4% of the students were involved in aerobic activities and majority of them (37.6%) were not doing any activities to improve flexibility and increase muscle strength. There was an inverse correlation between RAPA and BDI-II (p<0.001) and a positive association between RAPA and GHQ-12 (p<0.001). Conclusion: The study concluded that majority of the students had mild depression but their general psychological health was not affected as they were involved in routine physical activity. The result of this study provides evidence that there is a negative relation between physical activity and depression and a positive relation between physical activity and general psychological health.

An exploratory study was conducted examining the problem of identity and participation among Saudi youth in light of social transformations. The project combined the quantitative and the qualitative curricula and relied on a field study using an electronic questionnaire with a sample of 1318 male and female students from the University of Hail and the participation of 120 students in focus groups during the beginning of the 2020/2021 academic year. The research was based on a number of international and local studies and surveys, and its conclusions were compared with their outcomes. The study outlined a set of indicators that showed the growing expression of the national belonging of the Saudi state in the context of an Arab–Islamic civilisation, a moderate view of the West, a balanced vision of reconciling conservatism with a move towards more openness, and a sense of confidence in the state and in the self. The research also found that the low rate of social participation is matched by a full awareness of its importance and a desire to practise it. The study recommended strengthening the gains of young people and developing areas of participation in proportion to the aspirations of those individuals.
