<p>This paper aimed to reexamine the current EFL communicative speaking skill in high school level in Thailand due to the coming of the entry to ASEAN at the end of the year 2015. Thai students need to be wellprepared for workforce in the future since English is used as the working language in ASEAN. The purposes of this paper were to study the effect of dramatic activities on improving English communicative skills of grade 11<sup>th</sup> participants and to examine students’ opinions towards the use of dramatic activities in their speaking class. The duration of experiment was 21 hours within 7 weeks. The research instruments were lesson plans using dramatic activities, English communicative speaking test and a questionnaire measuring students’ opinions towards the teaching based on dramatic activities. The findings were that the English communicative speaking skill on grade 11<sup>th</sup> students after attending the teaching class using dramatic activities was significantly higher than before attending the teaching and the students’ opinions towards dramatic activities on speaking were highly positive.</p>

The Subject

In deciding what mathematics should be taught at any grade level it is necessary to know the mathematical needs of the students. However, unless we subscribe to the doctrine that no one should learn more about anything than he will need to live at that particular age level, we must also consider the future needs of the students as well. I do not subscribe to this doctrine, hence in this discussion considerable weight will be given to the mathematical needs of adults in deciding what shall be taught to children. This seems especially necessary at the high school level, since, in the case of mathematics, the student is often taking his last course in the subject.

In the Program Pendidikan Profesi Guru Dalam Jabatan (In-service PPG Program), as in other teacher training programs, lesson plans are a prerequisite for peer teaching. In this program, seven out of 17 sessions are allotted for lesson plan writing, finalization, presentation, discussion, and revision. This arrangement is meant to enable the PPG students to develop lesson plans, discuss them with their facilitators and fellow students, get feedbacks, and improve them. At the end of this process, the students are expected to produce acceptable and feasible lesson plans. Do the students fulfil this expectation? To answer this question, all the components of their lesson plans are analyzed. The analysis focuses on the lesson plans the students prepared for high school level.

BACKGROUND Hypertension (HTN) remains a global risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, with an estimated 442 million to 874 million SBP of ≥ 140 mmHg from 1990 to 2015 correspondingly. HTN prevalence ranges from 25% to 48% in Ghana. There is limited studies on HTN and youth in Ghana, particularly, none has been conducted on the adolescents/youth at the Senior High School level, and therefore this paper seeks to provide literature to fill this vacuum. OBJECTIVE To assess the current prevalence of HTN and pre HTN of the youth of Ghana, estimate the future prevalence and propose possible interventions METHODS A three-phase community based cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were selected using a multi staged random method. Questionnaires were distributed to participants to collect data on socio-demographics, while a face to face blood pressure screening was also performed on them. RESULTS A total participant of 372 finished the screening and formed the final analysis Majority of the participants were aged between 15- 17 and above 18 years (176/47.3% with CI: 95: 42.2-52.3 and 178/47.8% with CI: 95: 43.4-53.0 respectively), at the SHS level of education and youthful. The study found low level of knowledge within its participants. A little more than thirty percent (30.1%) were pre-hypertensive, 5.1% with stage one HTN and .6% with stage two HTN. There were positive associations between Weight, Hip circumference for male, metabolic syndrome and type of foods regularly eaten by the participants with hypertension CONCLUSIONS The future workforces of Ghana who are at the Senior High School (SHS) level are at a probable risk to early HTN. Increasing education at this stage within the curricular of the education system in Ghana may be a step forward

Astronomical Research

AbstractSince the early 1990s with the arrival of a variety of new technologies, the capacity for authentic astronomical research at the high school level has skyrocketed. This potential, however, has not realised the bright-eyed hopes and dreams of the early pioneers who expected to revolutionise science education through the use of telescopes and other astronomical instrumentation in the classroom. In this paper, a general history and analysis of these attempts is presented. We define what we classify as an Astronomy Research in the Classroom (ARiC) project and note the major dimensions on which these projects differ before describing the 22 major student research projects active since the early 1990s. This is followed by a discussion of the major issues identified that affected the success of these projects and provide suggestions for similar attempts in the future.

Novels can be authentic sources for learning ESL/EFL, especially in non-English speaking countries. They may present reliable learning references in the absence of native speakers. This article aims to identify the types of request expressions originated in novel “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” as well as their appropriateness for teaching ESL/EFL in aligment to current applied curriculum (2006 curriculum) in junior high school level in Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative research which was based on content analysis methodology. The data analysis revealed the types of request expressions (Tsui, 1989) generated out of 110 items uttered by the characters in the novel. 65.5% of the finding matched the nine request expressions learning materials embedded in the 2006 curriculum. Indeed, this finding may significantly contribute to the addition of authentic English learning source, especially in teaching speaking skill.

In his 2011 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama echoed the sentiments of this nation's leaders for the past twenty years when he stated, “Nations like China and India realized…they could compete in this new world. So they started educating their children earlier and longer, with greater emphasis on math and science. They're investing in research and new technologies…. Maintaining our leadership in research and technology is crucial to America's success. But if we want to win the future—if we want innovation to produce jobs in America and not overseas—then we also have to win the race to educate our kids.” The Bergen County Academies (BCA) in Hackensack, NJ, is attempting to do just that: invest in research and technology at the high school level in order to expose students to real world opportunities and applications they will experience in the future.
