The First Journal is Mediating EFL learners’ academic writing skills in online dynamic assessment using Google Docs This journal tell about The findings of the study imply that conducting DA sessions help EFL teachers develop EFL learners’ academic writing skills to a great extent. It is suggested that online synchronous one-on-one DA sessions help the learners achieve their potential level of functioning in academic writing skills. More specifically, the findings might benefit those learners who require more attention in academic writing skills. The mediators can determine and respond to the learners’ ZPD and help them achieve their potential level of functioning through online synchronous one-on-one DA sessions using the generated mediation typology or generate their own context-specific typologies. It further behoves EFL teachers to conduct online synchronous one-on-one individual DA as the supplementary and complementary sessions to measure and develop the learners’ aca...

PROBLEMS: T he problems associated with school structure at the secondary level are in the unhappy position of being at the same time both compelling and elusive. Although there is an obvious urgency for developing a more comprehensive repertory of organizational responses to changing pupil intake and educational technologies, the organizational patterns of a school, though pervasive in their influence, are not as immediately apprehended as, say, its physical layout or its headmaster's personality. It is perhaps for the latter reason that organizational studies of the school have been dominated by administrative issues in which the leadership style of the headmaster or principal figures prominently, e.g. Hemphill and Coons (1950), Halpin and Croft (1963). These studies have tended to ignore the 'objective' elements of structure (such as the formal distribution of authority and amount of paperwork) and have depended on teachers' perceptions of their organizational envi...

Writing Learning Methods In learning to write, several methods are used, namely: 1. The direct method Direct teaching methods are specifically designed to develop student learning about procedural knowledge and declarative knowledge that is well structured and can be learned step by step.

From these pictures, students can make writing coherently and logically based on images. 2. Communicative Methods Designs that contain communicative methods must cover all language skills. Each goal is organized into learning. Each learning is specified in a concrete goal which is the final product. For example: communicative methods can be done by writing dialogue techniques.
