Abstract: القدرة على الكتابة بنحو فعال تزداد اهمية في المجتمع العالمي، والتعليم في الكتابة هو افتراض له دورا متزايدا في تعليم اللغة الثانية والاجنبية. مهارة الكتابة تتمتع بوضع خاص, فمن طريقة الكتابة يمكن للشخص الاتصال مع مجموعة متنوعة من الرسائل الى القارئ او الق | The ability to write effectively is becoming increasingly important in the global community, and instruction in writing is thus assuming an increasing role in second and foreign language education. The skill of writing enjoys special status. It is via writing that a person can communicate a variety of messages to a close or distant, known or unknown reader or readers. Most EFL teachers are keen to talk to students about the importance of becoming autonomous writers. But just telling students that autonomy is in some way a good thing will have little effect unless it is part of a wider - semester design and unless teachers find ways of helping students to become more autonomous. This study aims at investigating the effect of autonomous learning programme on EFL college student's performance in writing and finding out the development in the experimental samples' autonomy. To achieve the aims of the study, the following null hypotheses have been posited.1. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean ranks of the experimental group performance and that of the control group in composing component of the post test. 2. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean ranks of the experimental group performance and that of the control group in style component of the post test. 3. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean ranks of experimental group performance and that of the control group in sentence formation component of the post test. 4. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean ranks of the experimental group performance and that of the control group in usage component of the post test. 5. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean ranks of the experimental group performance and that of the control group in mechanics component of the post test. 6. There is no statistically significant difference between the mean ranks of the experimental group performance and that of the control group in overall composition writing of the post test. 7.There is no statistically significant difference in the experimental group subjects' autonomy between the pre and the post administration of questionnaire. Thus, an experiment is designed.Fourty students from the College of Basic Education at University of Missan have randomly been chosen (twenty students as an experimental group which are taught composition writing by the use of autonomous learning programme and twenty students as a control group which are taught composition writing according to conventional ways) during the academic year 2010 - 2011.The validity of the programme , the questionnaire ,the test, and the scoring scheme have been obtained by exposing them to jury members in the fields of EFL and linguistics. The answers of the test have been separately scored by the researcher and two other scorers separately. By using By using Pearson Correlation Coefficient formula the reliability of the questionnaire has been yields (0.82) and the test has been secured by using Alpha Cronbach Formula (0.84), intrascorer reliability (0.923), and interscorer reliability (0.976). Statistical analysis of data achieved through the test indicates that there are statistically significant differences between the experimental group performance and that of the control group in terms of composing, style, sentence formation, usage, mechanics, and the overall composition of the post test and the post questionnaire in favour of the experimental group. It has been concluded that using the autonomous learning programme develops students’ performance in composition writing and gives them opportunity to make choices that encourage them to reflect on their own interests and preferences. It will also make them start to take responsibility and motivation for learning; plan and carry out their independent learning task; monitor and evaluate their learning. In the light of these results, some recommendations and suggestions for further studies are presented.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: يسعى البحث الحالي الى معرفة اثر انموذجي فرق التحصيل الطلابية وتكامل المعلومات المجزاة في تحصيل مادة التاريخ عند طالبات الصف الخامس الادبي. ولتحقيق ذلك اختارت الباحثة تصميما تجريبيا ذا ثلاث مجموعات : مجموعتان تجريبيتان ومجموعة ضابطة، واختبار تحصيلي بعد | The goal of this research is to find the effects of both the studying students group which has various educational levels and the integration of the fragmented information through or during the study of history subjects for the female students of the fifth secondary literary section. To achieve this study or case the researcher has chosen an experimental design or test by studying three groups : two are as mentioned above and the third is just ordinary team. In addition to that, there is a test after the experiment. The researcher chose on purpose female students of the literal section from two different secondary school Al Asil and Wahran both are secondary school for girls, and both are from directorate of education - Al Karkh 2nd district for the academic year 2014 - 2015 to make the experiment.The total number of students were 73 divided as follow : 24 students in the 1st experimental team, 25 students in the 2nd experimental team (integration of the fragmented information and 24 students in the 3rdteam which were taught in classical methods).The researcher was careful before starting her tests on the three groups of students, in choosing statistically equality in some of the variables, which she thinks may have negative effects on the experiment.The variables are final grade of history exam of the last year for every student, age of students calculated in months, parents educational level, and the test of prior knowledge of history.The researcher chose the educational material that should be taught which included the 1st and 2nd chapter from the modern history of Europe and America for the 5th literal secondary class or level. Then she put the behavioral goals depending on the general goals of the material and on the four levels (memory, understanding, practicing, and analysis) according to the Bloom’s taxonomy of learning Domains, which are 72 behavioral goals. The researcher also prepared teaching plans for the material that should be taught and for the final test which was a multiple choice test containing 50 questions. This final test has been presented to a group of experts and specialists in history, psychological science and teaching methods. The presentation to this group of experts was to examine, to verify the virtual honesty, to produce the difficulty factor or coefficient and to find the strength of its paragraphs. In addition to that, we should find its consistency and the same result of the test when the students repeat the same exam several times. The method called partial way (0,77)A correction has been made to the reliability factor by using the Spearman - Brown formula. The value of the factor was (0,87 ) and it is accepted in educational and psychological studies.The researcher has personally completed her studies and tests on all the groups. It took a period of two months to do the experiment starting from 1/12/2014 and this was the first quarter of the academic school year 2014—2015.At the end of the experiment the researcher applied the final test for the history subject. She tested the first two groups on Wednesday 28/01/2015 and on Thursday 29/01/2015 for the classical third group.The researcher used the Scheffe’s method and the contrast unilateral analysis to process the data statistically. The results are the following : 1 - There are differences with statistical indications at the level (0.05) in the average of the students grades of the first group (which they are of various level of knowledge and grades) comparing to the average grades of the third and the classical group of students. The difference is in the benefit of the first group.2 - There are differences with statistical indications at the level (0.05) in the average of the students grades of the second group (which they use the integration method of the fragmented information) comparing to the average grades of the third and the classical group of students. The difference is in the benefit of the second group.3 - There are differences with statistical indications at the level (0.05) in the average of the students grades between the first group (which they are of various level of knowledge and grades) comparing to the average grades of the second group (which they use the integration method of the fragmented information). The difference is in the benefit of the first group.In light of the current search results to the researcher reached the following conclusions : 1. in use is typical (of student achievement teams) and (Integration fragmented) information in the teaching of history a positive impact in increasing the collection of literary V students in the first four levels of Bloom's Taxonomy (remember, understanding, application, analysis).2. The use of typical of (student achievement teams) and (integration of fragmented information) requires time, effort and skill by the researcher more than it is given away when teaching topics article approved the use of traditional methods and styles.the recommendations of researcher based on the results of her case study : 1 - To emphasis on the need to the attention of the ministry of education to use and teach the modern methods including the (method of various level of knowledge and grades in one group) and (the integration method of the fragments information).2 - Offering and preparing developmental courses for the history teacher. The courses should include the modern methods including the (method of various levelof knowledge and grades in one group) and (the integration method of the fragments information).3 - Introducing in the books of history material the modern teaching plans and methods including the (method of various level of knowledge and grades in one group) and (the integration method of the fragments information).4 - Applying the (method of various level of knowledge and grades in one group) and (the integration method of the fragmented information) when teaching other educational material.The researcher also suggests to practice and to apply similar experiments in : 1 - Other situations with different variables and groups other than the various level of education.2 - In different stages and study phases other than the researcher has practiced and experimented.3 - To conduct a study and make comparison between all - girls and all - boys schools insimilar case studies.
