Feedback plays an important role in developing L2 writing in young learners. The article provides a brief overview of the history of giving feedback and of some contemporary views within this field. Special attention is paid to cognitive perspectives, such as the influence of written corrective feedback on shortterm memory, the influence of focused and unfocused written corrective feedback on error correction, the influence of written corrective feedback on a particular category of error, the influence of direct and indirect written corrective feedback and combinations of various types of written corrective feedback, and the influence of educational background and L2 learning background on the effectiveness of written corrective feedback in terms of sociocultural perspectives. The main aim of the article is to present readers (especially teachers) with the variety of aspects of giving written corrective feedback in developing L2 writing and thus in enabling young learners to develop their L2 writing skills more effectively.

THE APPLICATION OF A COMIC STRIP, TRINITY, IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION. Faced with obstacles encountered in lessons and the search for actions that meet current educational needs, some attention has been paid to the role of comics as instructional tool. This article focuses on the use of a comic strip, Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb, to develop knowledge and promote science learning. Three case studies were extracted from the comic and implemented to a group of pre-service chemistry teachers. A questionnaire was utilized to assess their perceptions about the usefulness of comics for their learning. One hundred percent of students indicated that comics helped improve their understanding of the nature of science. On the basis of the data, comic strips may be utilized as an acceptable educational tool in science education.

This study aims to determine and measure the efforts and responses of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in overcoming elementary school students' or young learners’ difficulties in reading the Qur'an and its influence. In its implementation, researchers used the An-Nahdliyah method in responding to the difficulties of students in reading the Qur'an. This research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design. The results of this study indicate that Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers have a good effort and response. This is evident from the results of Chi square calculation of 20.27 and a significance level of 5%. In addition, the results of the analysis of the correlation coefficient or KK = 0.66 lies at intervals of 0.600 to 0.800. Thus the influence between the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in overcoming the difficulty of reading the Qur'an elementary school students or young learners can be categorized quite well

I must admit that I was a bit anxious in the late 1980s as I waited for the release of a set of “Math Standards” from NCTM, a document that I believed would have far-reaching implications for the way I taught mathematics to young learners.

The study aimed to investigate teachers’ perceptions on drama’s role in enhancing young learners’ developmental domains. The sample consisted of (133) cooperative- teachers chosen upon availability from the collaborating schools with the Classroom Teacher and the Early Childhood Education Practicum Courses in the University of Jordan. The cooperative-teachers’ perceptions data were collected through a questionnaire designed by the researcher based on the literature review related to drama as a teaching tool. The instrument included three main domains; the social-emotional, linguistic-communicative and cognitive domain. The findings revealed that drama highly enhanced young learners’ developmental domains, in which the social-emotional domain came as the highest score according to the teachers’ perceptions. The results also revealed that both the specialization and experience variables proved not to cause any statistical significant differences on the cooperative- teachers’ perceptions about the role of drama in teaching young learners. Further studies were recommended on investigating teachers’ actual practices in applying drama in their teaching actions.
