المستخلص: Vocabulary and spelling learning is a constant challenge for Iraqi teachers as well as students because there has been minimal focus on them in the Iraqi classrooms recently. Due to this, this study aims to investigate empirically the effect of using sticky notes technique on the vocabulary and spelling achievement of Iraqi EFL learners.The population of the present study is fifth grade secondary school female students (the scientific branch) in Baghdad City during the academic year (2014 - 2015). Of this population a sample of two groups is selected, the experimental group which is taught vocabulary and spelling by using sticky notes technique (with 23 students) and the control group which is taught vocabulary and spelling using the prescribed method in the Teachers’ Guide (with 33 students). These groups are randomly chosen from Maryam Al - Athra’a Secondary School for Girls from the Directorate General of Education/ Al - Rusafa III. The instructional material is limited to Units 5, 6, and 7 from English for Iraq. Of the whole instructional material the focus is on vocabulary and spelling.To fulfil the aim of the study and verify the hypotheses which state (There is no statistically significant difference in the mean scores of vocabulary achievement of learners who are taught vocabulary through sticky notes technique and those who are taught vocabularyXthrough the prescribed technique, there is no statistically significant difference in the mean scores of spelling achievement of learners who are taught spelling through sticky notes technique and those who are taught spelling through the prescribed technique, and there is no statistically significant difference in the mean scores of total vocabulary and spelling achievement of learners who are taught vocabulary and spelling through sticky notes technique and those who are taught vocabulary and spelling through the prescribed technique), an experiment is conducted. The two groups have been taught the same subject matter and an achievement test is constructed by the researcher and exposed to a jury of experts to verify its validity. The test reliability is calculated using Cronbach alpha yielding a coefficient of 0.814.Item analysis is carried out to determine the effectiveness of items in terms of their discriminating power and difficulty level. Then, the test is administered to the sample of the study at the end of the experimental teaching period. The t - test formula for independent samples is used to identify the significance of difference between the scores of the two groups. The t - test indicates that there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups in favour of the experimental one.As a result, it can be concluded that using sticky notes technique to improve vocabulary and spelling achievement has a positive result onthe students’ achievement in the written test and it motivates them to learn vocabulary and spelling effectively.In the light of the results of the study, a number of recommendations are stated and suggestions for further studies are put forward.

المستخلص: Reading is assumed to be the central tool for learning new information and gaining access to alternative explanations and interpretations. Further, it provides the primary means for independent learning, whether the goal is performing better on academic tasks, learning more about subject matter, or improving language abilities. The increased focus on the teaching of reading and other literacy skills to learners may relate to the recognition that reading is actually the most fundamental skill for FL learners and the most crucial of the four language skills for EFL learners, as it enables them to gain exposure to the target language and receive valuable linguistic input to build language proficiency.Thus, this study implements two modern techniques for teaching and developing reading comprehension. These two techniques, Jigsaw and Think - Pair - Share, have been proved their positive effectiveness in the teaching of other skills. According to that, they are chosen to examine their effectiveness in teaching reading comprehension.This study aims at finding out the effect of using jigsaw and think - pair - share techniques on the development of the reading comprehension skills of Iraqi secondary school students. To fulfilIXthe aims of study, a non - randomized control group pre - test and post - test design has been applied to a sample of 85 second grade female pupils from Al - Yarmouk Intermediate School for Girls. The study demands two experimental groups and a control one. It is hypothesized that : 1. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the jigsaw group, think - pair - share group and the control group (who is taught according to the teacher’s guide instructions ) in the reading comprehension post - test.2. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the jigsaw group and that of the think - pair - share group in the reading comprehension posttest.The subjects of the three groups have been statistically matched according to their age (in months), their final scores in the midyear exam, and the academic level of their fathers and mothers.The results obtained by the statistical treatment of the data have shown that : 1. There is a statistically significant difference between the first experimental group, taught by jigsaw technique, and the control group, taught by prescribed method of teaching in reading comprehension performance, in favour of the first experimental group.X2. There is a statistically significant difference between the second experimental group, taught by Think - Pair - Share technique, and the control group in the reading comprehension performance, in favour of the second experimental group.3. There is no statistically significant difference between the first experimental group and the second experimental one in teaching reading comprehension performance.The study also proposes some conclusions, some of which are : 1. Implementing new and modern techniques in teaching contributes to the development of students' skills, knowledge, and achievement. Cooperative learning is one of the innovative pedagogies that has been found to be positively effective in students’ development in reading comprehension.2. Engaging students in learning allows them to reach their fullest potential in all aspects of development.3. It is vital for students to have peer support not only to learn the material at a deeper level, but also to know their classmates and to built a sense of community with them.XIDepending on the results of the present study, some recommendations are presented : 1. Teachers should help students understand how complex the task they are facing, give them the tools to learn the subject effectively.2. Teachers should make the students work on the words instead of simply going over them in a fill in the blank exercises or according a matching quiz. This can help the pupils develop more systematic and effective ways of learning.3. Teachers should be encouraged to incorporate into RC in classroom.

المستخلص: يعتبرالوسيط الصريح من خلال الوسيط النظير هي استراتيجية تشير الى ان التعلم يحدث من خلال المشاركة مع الاخرين, وان تفاعل التلاميذ مع نظرائهم الاكثر معرفة او قدرة يؤثر في طريقة تفكيرهم وتفسيرهم للمواقف المختلفة. ان العمل من خلال المجموعات المناظرة داخل الصف لها دور فاعل في تطوير القدرات المعرفية والعقلية لديهم. ان الهدف من الوسيط المناظر هو جعل التعلم ذاتيا اي الانتقال التدريجي بالمسؤولية من المعلم الى الاقران. لذلك تهدف هذه الدراسة الحالية معرفة اثر استراتيجية الوسيط الصريح من خلال الاقران في اداء الاستيعاب القرائي لدى الطلاب العراقيين دارسي اللغة الانكليزية لغة اجنبية. وللتحقق من اثر الاستراتيجية تم وضع الفرضية الاتية : " لايوجد فرق ذو دلالة احصائية بين المجموعة التجريبية التي طبقت عليها استراتيجية الوسيط العلني المناظر, والمجموعة الضابطة التي لم تطبق عليها هذه الاستراتيجية في تحصيلهم في الاستيعاب القرائي."وللتحقق من هذه الفرضية استخدم الباحث منهجا تجريبيا يتضمن تصميم مجموعتين واختبار بعدي. ان ادوات الاختبار لهذه الدراسة صممت بالشكل التالي : ا) اختبار قبلي يتكون من قطعتين استيعابيتين, ب) اختبار بعدي يحتوي على قطعتين استيعابيتين, وقد استخدم هذا الاختبار للمقارنة بين اداء المجموعتين عند نهاية الدراسة. من الجدير بالذكر ان الاختبارات المذكورة اعلاه قد عرضت على مجموعة من الخبراء للتحقق من مصداقية المحتوى واقترحوا بعض التعديلات. وبعد اجراء الاختبار الاستطلاعي تبين ان ثبات ومصداقية الاختبارات قد تم التحقق منها من خلال تطبيق معادلة كيودر - ريتشارد سون 20 للاختبارات الموضوعية ومعادلة الفا كرونباخ بالنسبة للاختبارات المقالية. وقد وجد ان قيمة الثبات للاختبار القبلي بلغ 0,87 للموضوعية و0,83 للاختبارات المقالية وبلغ معامل الثبات للاختبار البعدي 0,91 للاسئلة الموضوعية و0,88 للمقالية. بالنسبة للاختبار القبلي فقد استخدم لمكافئة المجموعتين وقياس مستوى تحصيلهم المعرفي السابق في الاستيعاب القرائي ولمعرفة الطالب الاكثر مهارة لاختياره كقائد للمجموعة بعد الاختيار العشوائي للمجموعة الضابطة والتجريبية.تالفت عينة البحث من طلبة الصف الرابع العلمي والبالغ عددهم 70 طالبا اختيروا عشوائيا على مجموعتين (مجموعة ضابطة ومجموعة تجريبية) تضم كل منهما 35 طالبا. كوفئت المجموعتان احصائيا في عدد من المتغيرات مثل العمر والتحصيل الدراسي للوالدين, ودرجات تحصيل الطلاب في اللغة الانكليزية للفصل الاول ونصف السنة ودرجات تحصيلهم في الاختبار القبلي.درست المجموعة التجريبية الاستيعاب القرائي باسلوب الوسيط العلني المناظر, ودرست المجموعة الضابطة بالطرق التقليدية وهي بحسب ما جاء في (دليل المعلم 8) سلسلة فرص العراق. طبقت التجربة في اعدادية مصطفى جواد للبنين في مدينة بغداد ضاحية المنصور ولفترة شهرين وخلال العام الدراسي 2013/2014. وبعد اجراء الاختبار البعدي اضهرت نتائج الدراسة بوضوح ان تحصيل المجموعة التجريبية التي درست باسلوب الوسيط الصريح المناظر اعلى من تحصيل المجموعة الضابطة التي درست بالاسلوب التقليدي.واستنادا الى النتائج المحصلة في اعلاه توصل الباحث الى مجموعة من الاستنتاجات كان من اهمها : 1 - ان استراتيجية الوسيط الصريح المناظر فاعلة في تدريس الاستيعاب القرائي للطلاب العراقيين للمرحلة الاعدادية لان التعلم الجماعي يوفر بيئة دراسية مناسبة لممارسة اللغة الاجنبية والتي فيها يحاول المتعلمون التواصل بهذه اللغة. وهذا يعني ان هذه الاستراتيجية تحقق هدفين : الاستيعاب والتواصل. وان الاستراتيجيات التي تحد من دور الطلاب وخصوصا عندما يتعلق الموضوع بالاستيعاب غير فعالة في تطوير الاستيعاب القرائي وهذوااضح من خلال نتائج الدراسة الحالية.2 - الوسيط المناظر والانتقال التدريجي في التعليم من المعلم الى الطلاب يعزز الاعتقاد القائل "ما يتعلمه الطلاب اليوم مجتمعين, سيتعلمونه غدا بمفردهم."3 - ان التعلم من خلال الاقران هو اداة فاعلة للتعامل مع الكم الهائل من المعلومات, ومن البديهي ان كل فرد يمتلك معلومة يتشارك بها مع الاخرين.وفي خاتمة هذه الدراسة, قدم الباحث مجموعة من التوصيات والاقتراحات لاجراء دراسات اخرى. | Explicit mediation via peer mediation is a strategy that enables learning to take place when students work together in small groups in which more able peers instruct and help less able peers. This idea of peer mediation coincides with Vygotsky's idea that learning is social rather than individual and thinking is mediated by social context. On the other hand, social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of all cognitive abilities, including thinking, learning, and communicating. Therefore, the present study investigates the effect of explicit mediation via peer mediation on learners' performance in reading comprehension in the context of English as a foreign language. To achieve this aim, the following hypothesis is postulated : It is hypothesized that there is no statistically significant difference between the achievement mean scores of the students who are taught reading comprehension using explicit mediation and those who are taught reading comprehension using the prescribed method. To verify the hypothesis, the post - test nonequivalent group design has been employed. The sample of this study was 70 students chosen from 4th grade secondary school students. This sample was distributed as follows : 1) 35 students for the control group, and 2) 35 students for the experimental group. The two groups were statistically equalized in a number of variables such as age, parents' level of education, achievement scores in English in the first term and midyear, and achievement scores on the pretest. The experimental group was taught reading comprehension by the explicit mediation, and the control group was taught by the method recommended in the prescribed method. The experiment was conducted in Baghdad City at Mustafa Jawad Secondary School for Boys. It lasted for two months in the academic year 2013 - 2014. The instruments of the current study involved two tests : a pretest which is used to equalize the Control Group and Experimental Group as well as to choose the leaders of the groups, and a posttest for the purpose of comparing the performance of the two groups at the end of the study. The instruments have been previously exposed to a jury of experts in order to ascertain their face and content validity. The experts have validated the face and content validity and suggested some modifications. After conducting the pilot study, their reliability was calculated by applying Kuder - Richardson formula 20 for the objective items and Alpha Cronbach for subjective ones. It was found that the reliability of the pretest is 0.80 for objective items and 0.83 for the subjective items. The reliability of the posttest is 0.91 for the objective items and 0.88 for subjective ones. The discriminatory powers and difficulty level of the instruments' items were also computed. After conducting the posttest, the result of the study apparently indicates that the achievement of the experimental group who were exposed to the explicit mediation technique is higher than that of the control group who were exposed to the prescribed technique. In other words, the explicit mediation technique is more influential than the prescribed method to enhance performance in reading comprehension. In light of the obtained results from this study, a number of conclusions have been drawn, among which the most important ones are : 1. Explicit mediation is an effective technique for teaching reading comprehension for Iraqi secondary school students, because such a cooperative technique provides target language practice in which learners try to communicate in the foreign language. This means that explicit mediation achieves two goals : comprehension and communication. 2. Peer mediation reinforces the belief that "what learners can do together today, they can do alone tomorrow". 3. Peer learning is a tool to cope with the massive influx of information. Obviously, each individual has his own information that can be shared with others. In conclusion of this study, some recommendations and suggestions for further studies have been put forward

المستخلص: Developing a pupil’s dictionary is one of the techniques suggested to deal with the vocabulary and spelling difficulties of Iraqi EFL learners especially the intermediate school ones in order to reduce the misspelling ratio and to enlarge their vocabulary repertoire.Hence, the present study aims to investigate the effect of developing a pupils’ dictionary on vocabulary repertoire and spelling of Iraqi EFL intermediate school pupils. To achieve this aim, the following null hypotheses have been posed : 1. There is no statistically significant difference between the spelling achievement mean scores of the pupils who are taught by using the technique of developing pupil’s dictionary and those who are taught by using the prescribed method (teacher - centred).2. There is no statistically significant difference between the vocabulary achievement mean scores of the pupils who are taught by using the technique of developing pupil’s dictionary and those who are taught by using the prescribed method.3. There is no statistically significant difference between the overall achievement mean scores of the pupils who are taught by using the technique of developing pupil’s dictionary and those who are taught by using the prescribed method.4. There is no statistically significant difference between the development mean scores of the experimental group pupils on the pre - test and the post - test.The population of the present study is the male pupils of the second - grade intermediate schools in Baghdad during the academic year 2013 - 2014. The sample of the study consists of 65 pupils. The experimental group consists of 33 pupils whereas the control group consists of 32 pupils. These two groups are randomly chosen from Al - Nidhamyia Secondary School for Boys in Baghdad. The subjects ofIXboth groups are equalized in the level of their parents’ education, their age, their achievement in English in the mid - year exam, their grades on the pre - test, as well as some extraneous factors.To fulfil the aim of the study, an experiment is conducted using a non - equivalent pre - test post - test control group design. The two groups are taught the same material, which contains three units from the textbook Iraq Opportunities 6 except for the technique of developing Pupil’s Dictionary, which is introduced to the experimental group only. The researcher himself taught the two groups.Two versions of an achievement test (pre - test and post - test) are constructed by the researcher and exposed to a jury of experts to verify their validity. Reliability is calculated by using Kuder - Richardson formulas 20 and 21 yielding, coefficients of 0.93 and 0.95 respectively. Item analysis is carried out to determine the effectiveness of the items in terms of their discriminatory power and difficulty level. Then the tests are administered to the sample of the study prior to the experimental period and after it.The data of the post - test are analyzed statistically, using t - test formulas for two independent samples and two dependent samples. The findings indicate that there is a significant difference between the two groups in favour of the experimental one in the vocabulary, spelling, and overall achievement. The t - test also indicates that there is a significant difference between the pre - and post - tests scores for the experimental group in favour of the post - test showing significant development.It is concluded that the use of Pupil’s Dictionary technique has positive effect on the pupils’ vocabulary repertoire and spelling. According to the results of the study, a number of recommendations are stated and suggestions for further studies are put forward.

المستخلص: Mnemonic techniques are special techniques that assist information retention in the human memory. Mnemonics aim to translate information into a form that the brain can retain better than its original form. Therefore, these techniques are expected to deal with the vocabulary and spelling difficulties of Iraqi EFL students especially the intermediate school ones in order to reduce the misspelling ratio and to enlarge their vocabulary repertoire. The present study aims at empirically investigating the effect of using mnemonic techniques on Iraqi EFL students' achievement in spelling and vocabulary. For this purpose, it is hypothesized that there is no statistically significant difference between the mean score of the students who are taught spelling and vocabulary using mnemonic techniques, and that of those who are taught spelling and vocabulary using strategies that are recommended in the prescribed textbook. In order to achieve the aim of the study, an experiment has been designed. The population is the female students of the second grade at the intermediate schools in Baghdad, during the academic year 2014 - 2015. Two sections are randomly selected; one to be the experimental group and the other has been considered the control group; each group contains 40 students. The researcher herself has taught the two groups the same topics. But only the experimental group received the treatment. The experiment lasted two months. The two groups have been equalized in the variables of age, parents' education, their scores in the first semester, and their achievement in the pre - test. And at the end of the experiment, the post - test that includes six questions is constructed and administered by the researcher herself to both groups (experimental and control) to find out students’ progress in learning spelling and vocabulary. The test validity is ascertained by exposing it to a jury of experts. Then, a pilot study of 100 students is conducted to provide data for item analysis which indicates the effectiveness of the test items in terms of their discriminatory power and difficulty level. The reliability has been calculated by using the Cronbach Alpha method and the correlation coefficient was 0.82. After statistical analysis of the obtained data, the t - test formula for two independent samples is used to test the significance difference between the two mean scores of the two groups. It is found out that there is a statistically significance difference in favour of experimental group. Therefore, it is concluded that the mnemonic techniques have a great effect in teaching spelling and vocabulary. Therefore, a number of recommendations and suggestions for further researches are put forward.

المستخلص: ان تراكيب قواعد اللغة ليست سهلة الاتقان وذلك بسبب التنويع بين انظمة القواعد في كلا اللغتين العربية والانجليزية. لذا،يجب ان يعكس المعلمون بعمق هذه السمة ويحاولوا تجربة التقنيات الجديدة ذات الصعوبة والتي قد تثبت فعالية حل هذه المشكلة التي توثق الى حد كبير في تعلم تدريس اللغة الاجنبية. شدد جواد (2 : 2006) في رسالته الموسومة على هذه الفكرة وذكر ان الاستخدام للمتعلمين العراقيين للغة الاجنبية لا يستطيعون التفريق بين الانماط القواعدية للغة الانكليزية. لذلك،فان الدراسة الحالية هي محاولة لمعالجة هذه المشكلة باستخدام تقنية Fishbowl وتتمنى ملئ الفجوة في تعليم قواعداللغة الانجليزية للمتعلمين العراقيين.تهدف هذه الدراسة الى تحري تاثير استخدام تقنية حوض السمك Fishbowlفي تعلم العراقيين للغة الانكليزية لغة اجنبية. ولتحقيق هدف الدراسة، تبنت الباحثة التصميم التجريبي المناسب في 16/2/2014و طبقت الباحثة تجربتهوااختارت عينة شملت (76) طالبة قسمت الى (38) طالبة للمجموعة التجريبية و(38) طالبة للمجموعة الضابطة. وكان اختيار الباحثة لافراد العينه بشكل عشوائي من مدرسة ثانوية التسامح للبنات في المديرية العامة لتربية الرصافة الثانية.استخدمت الباحثة تقنية حوض السمك Fishbowl واستعمالها لتعليم الطالبات قواعد اللغة الانكليزية في تعليم المجموعة التجريبية، بينما استعملت الاسلوب التقليدي في تعليم المجموعة الضابطة للسنة الدراسية (2014 - 2015) وتم اعداد اختبارتحصيلي لكي يستعمل للاختبار البعدي للمجموعتين. بدات التجربة في تاريخ 16/2/ 2014 - 2015 وانتهت في تاريخ 15/4/2014 - 2015 وبمعنى اخر,دامت ثمانية اسابيع.و صيغت فرضية واحدة لاجراء التجربة وهي : * ليس هناك اختلاف ذو دلالة احصائية بين متوسط درجات الطالبات اللاتي تم تعليمهن تراكيب قواعدية باستخدام تقنية حوض السمك Fishbowl واللاتي تعلمن هذه التراكيب باستخدام الطريقة التقليدية الموجودة في دليل المعلم.وتم تحليل البيانات بشكل احصائي باستعمال صيغة الاختبار التائي لقياس الاختلافات بين تحصيل المجموعة التجريبية في الاختبار القبلي والبعدي. واثبتت النتائج المحسوبة بان هناك اختلافات مهمة احصائيا بين انجاز العينة لحساب العينة التجريبية في الاختبار البعدي. وهذا يشير بان تقنية Fishbowl اكثر فعالية في تعليم قواعد اللغة من الطريقة المعتمدة في دليل المعلم. وبناء على ذلك، فقد تم رفض فرضية هذه الدراسة. | Grammar structures are not easy to master because of the diversity between the grammar systems of Arabic and English. Therefore, teachers should reflect deeply this aspect and should try hard to experiment new techniques that may prove effective to redress this problem which is highly documented in the literature of ELT Jawad (2006 : 2) stresses this idea by stating that Iraqi EFL users cannot differentiate between grammatical patterns. Hence, the present study is an attempt to tackle this problem using the Fishbowl Technique hoping to fill a gap in the domain of teaching English grammar to Iraqi learners. This study aims at investigating the effect of Fishbowl Technique on the Iraqi EFL students' achievement in grammar. To achieve the aim of the study, an experiment was carried out on 16/2/2014, hoping to verify the hypothesis which states that : There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the students taught grammatical structures using the Fishbowl Technique and that of those who are taught these structures using the prescribed method recommended by the Teacher's Guide of book. The sample of the study consisted of (76) female fifth grade students divided into (38) students for the experimental group and (38) students for the control one. It was randomly chosen from Al - Tasamuh Secondary School for girls in Baghdad Governorate. Fishbowl technique has been used to teach the experimental group, while the prescribed techniques are used to teach the control one in the second term of the school year (2014 - 2015).An achievement test of five subtests is designed and used as a pre - and - posttest for the two groups.The experiment started on 16/2/2015 and ended on 15/4/ 2015 i.e., it lasted eight weeks. The collected Data has been analyzed statistically by using t - test formula to measure the differences between the means of scores of the achievement of the experimental group, and those of the control group in the pre and posttest. The calculated results have shown that there is a statistically significant difference between the achievement of the control on the pre and that of the posttest. This indicates that fishbowl technique is more effective in teaching grammar. Thus, the null hypothesis of this study is rejected. As a result, it is possible to recommend that Fishbowl technique is more effective than the recommended techniques. Finally, some pedagogical recommendations and some suggestions for further research are put forward

المستخلص: القراءة هي مهارة اساسية لمزيد من التعلم , خصوصا للطلبة الذين يريدون الحصول على معلومات من الكتب والبحوث.يجب على الطلاب قراءة الكثير من الكتب المعقدة والمتنوعة للاستيعاب. يعتبر الاستيعاب مركز اللغة والقراءة تشير ايضا الى انها من اهم المهارات الاربعة للغة | Reading is an essential skill for further learning, especially for students who have to read in order to get information from text books, research, reports, etc. Moreover, students have to read more various and complicated texts for comprehension. Reading comprehension is central to language and reading is often referred to as the most important of the four language skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Comprehension is the goal of reading. Successful comprehension enables readers to acquire information, to experience and be aware of other worlds (including fictional ones), to communicate successfully, and to achieve academic success. Many teaching strategies have been used to improve the reading comprehension ability. One of these strategies is the mind mapping which is adopted in this study to improve EFL preparatory students' ability in reading comprehension. The present study aims at identifying the effect of Mind Mapping as a teaching strategy on preparatory school students' achievement in Literature spot and Science Topics.The following hypothesis has been stated : there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group, which is taught by mind mapping strategy and that of the control group , which is taught according to the conventional strategy in the achievement test. To verify the above hypothesis, an experiment is designed. a sample of (61) 4th grade scientific branch Preparatory School students during the academic year 2013 - 2014 has been chosen and distributed into two equal groups , a control group and experimental group. The two groups are equalized in the following variables : age, educational level of parents, and achievement scores in the pre - test , and ministerial examination scores. The two groups have been taught by the researcher himself using the same study material , which is ''literature spot'' and ''Science Topics'' from book 8 Iraq Opportunities. The post test is exposed to a jury of specialists in methodology and linguistics to state their suitability to students' level. The result of the present study reveals that there are statistically significant differences between mean scores of the experimental group, which has been exposed to the new suggested strategy, i.e. mind mapping strategy, and the control one, which has not been exposed to the same suggested strategy of reading comprehension, and in favour of the experimental group. So, the suggested instructional strategy, i.e. mind mapping, is proved to be a beneficial teaching strategy. Based on the above result, main conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for further studies are put forward

المستخلص: ان طلبة الجامعة العراقيين الذين تلقوا تعلم اللغة الانجليزية لا يزالون غير قادرين على فهم استخدام هذه اللغة فعلا في التواصل لا سيما في الاداء الكلامي والكتابي, وان عدم قدرة الطلبة في الكلام والكتابة او ضعفهم فيهما يعزى الى امور كثيرة ؛ منها ضعف مستوى ا | Iraqi college students who have received several years of English teaching frequently remain deficient in their ability to actually use the language and to understand its use in normal communication especially in their oral and written performance.The students' inability in speaking and writing is attributed to many reasons from which the major ones are their poor level in grammar, which is considered an essential part in performing speaking and writing, if not , all the four language skills, as a result of the poor teaching methods that focus only on memorization of rules (based on teacher - centred approaches than students - centred). Therefore, this study is an attempt to examine the impact of PACE and CRTs models in teaching grammar, as they can be used to facilitate meaningful learning on the EFL college students' oral and written performance. The present study aims at finding out : 1 - The Impact of using PACE model in teaching grammar on the EFL Iraqi university students' oral and written performance.2 - The Impact of using CRTs model in teaching grammar on EFL Iraqi university students' oral and written performance3 - The difference between the impact of PACE and CRTs models in teaching grammar on students' oral and written performance. In this respect, this study hypothesizes six null hypotheses stating that : 1 - There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the first experimental group which is taught grammar according to PACE model and that of the control group which is taught grammar by the conventional way in their performance on the speaking test.2 - There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the second experimental group which is taught grammar according to CRTs model and that of the control group which is taught grammar by the conventional way in their performance on the speaking test.3 - There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the first and second experimental groups in their performance on the speaking test. 4 - There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the first experimental group which is taught grammar according to PACE model and that of the control group which is taught by the conventional way in their performance on the written test.5 - There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the second experimental group which is taught grammar according to CRTs model and the control group which is taught grammar by the conventional way in their performance on the written test.6 - There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the first and second experimental groups in their performance on the written test. To verify the above mentioned hypotheses, a sample of 120 students from the first - year students / Department of English /College of Education/ University of Wassit / morning studies during the academic year 2013 - 2014 has been chosen. This sample has been distributed into three groups : the first experimental of (41 students) using the PACE model , the second experimental of (39 students ) using the CRTs model , and the control group of (40 students) following the conventional way. The three assigned groups have been equalized by certain variables including : Parents' academic level ,The age of the subjects in months , Intelligence , Subjects' Baccalurate scores ,Subjects' pre - test - performance in writing , and Subjects' pre - test - performance in speaking.The pre - test has been administered before the beginning of the experiment for the sake of equalizing the three groups. After conducting the experiment, a post - test has been administered for the three groups in order to find out the impact of PACE and CRTs models on the students' oral and written performance. Subjects' responses to the post tests have been statistically manipulated. The study arrived at the following findings : 1 - The students in the first experimental group who are taught grammar by using PACE model perform better in the speaking and written post - tests in comparison with the students in the control group.2 - The students in the second experimental group who are taught grammar by using CRTs model perform better in the speaking and written post - tests in comparison with the students in the control group.3 - Concerning the first and second experimental groups ,the present study has found out that : A - the students in the first experimental group who are taught grammar by using PACE model perform better, on the speaking post - test, than the students in the second experimental group who are taught grammar by using CRTs model. B - the students in the first experimental group who are taught grammar by using PACE model and the students in the second experimental group who are taught grammar by using CRTs model being on the same level in their performance on the written post - test. On the basis of the findings above, some pedagogical recommendations and suggestions for further research are put forward.

المستخلص: Genre - based approach offers a valuable resource for both pre - and in - service writing instructors to assist their students to produce effective and relevant texts. Instead of focusing on the process of composition, the content of texts, or the abstract prescriptions of disembodied grammars, genre approach enables teachers to ground their courses in the texts that students will have to write in their target contexts, thereby supporting learners to participate effectively in the world outside the EFL classroom.The current research aims at investigating the effect of using genre - based approach as a teaching technique on Iraqi EFL learners’ performance in essay writing.The current study is hypothesized that there are no statistically significant differences between the performancet mean score of the experimental group (taught essay writing by using genre - based approach) and that of the control group (taught essay writing according to the method stated in the Teacher’s Guide).The population of the study consists of fifth - grade male students/scientific branch at the secondary stage in the city of Baghdad during the academic year 2013 - 2014. The experiment of the study lasted two months. It started on 26th of February and ended on 27th of April, 2014.The sample of the study has been intentionally chosen from among male secondary school students in the city of Baghdad. Itconsists of 65 students. The non - equivalent posttest control group has been chosen as the experimental design. Therefore, the first group represents the experimental group which has been taught by using genre - based approach, and the second group represents the control group which has been taught according to the method stated in the Teacher’s Guide.Pre and post written tests are designed and exposed to a jury for the purpose of ascertaining their validity. The inter - rater Pearson correlation coefficient formula is used to calculate the tests reliability yielding coefficients of 0.82 which is considered an acceptable coefficient.At the end of the period of the experiment, the post - test is administered. The mean of the experimental group is 65.906, and the mean of the control group is 58.757.The t - test formula for two independent samples is conducted. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a statistically significant difference between the experimental group and control group where the experimental group proved to be better than the control group.In accordance with the results obtained, some conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for further studies on the topic have been stated.
