Classroom Walkthrough Kachur, et.al., (2013) delineated classroom walkthroughs as brief, frequent, informal, and focused visits to classrooms by observers for the purposes of gathering data on educational practices and engaging in some type of follow-up. Moreover, Grissom, et.al. (2013) mentioned in their study that classroom walkthroughs may serve multiple purposes. Principals in the 2011 survey where they learned about the instructional practices of their teachers, 62% of principals identify
incomplete for classroom teachers though to effectively assess teaching practices. To attain this type of information, classroom teachers need the type of information provided by consistent formative assessments given inside the classroom curriculum. Collecting data on student understanding of subject matter is important for analysis
establishing the trend of Blended Learning instruction in English Foreign Language (EFL) classes in five colleges at Taif universities, KSA where technologies are required for teaching. It focuses on experiencing this type of learning where learners will be engaged in various types of communication task using internet and face-to-face communication. In the case of Taif university branches, students do not practice adequately spoken English inside classrooms let alone outside
There has been a big jump in the number of immigrants coming to the United States and with that comes a big jump in the number of English language learners attending school. This is a big jump that calls for rethinking the way we teach English language learners and having a supportive educational environment for these students. The article I read was called, “Creating Schools That Support Success for English Language Learners,” written by Jennifer Stepanek and Jacqueline Raphael with contributions
those observed by some researchers in the field of Foreign Language Teaching (FLT), my study will benefit from previous research results. Much of these results has influenced my study. The teaching of English academic listening in foreign language classrooms has been reported in some research to have obstacles which are the results of inaccurate teaching procedures and/or inappropriate use of strategies by the students. In some research in different instructional settings, researchers have reported
These strategies are to benefit gifted students with learning disabilities, yet all students in the classroom benefit from the implementation and application. The ideas the author presents in the article are based on knowledge about learning. They can be applied to all students, not just those who are both gifted and have exceptionalities.

But while technology is ever-evolving, one thing remains the same: the importance of the teacher in motivating students, customizing instruction for each of his or her needs, and managing classrooms that blend digital with live instruction.

It has been argued that there was a mismatch between what was learned in the classroom and the communicative skills needed outside the classroom. (Celce-Murcia, et.al., 1997). The problem for Iranian EFL learners is that most of them have difficulties in learning grammar particularly wh-questions. Hence, the present study will be conducted to find the effect of
Classroom management has always been a key concern since it plays a vital role in keeping students “organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive” during a class ("Classroom management," 2014). With effective classroom management skills and techniques, a positive and safe environment is created, thus learning can take place and students can be more engaged. Gallup (Gallup, 2013) states that students who are more engaged behaviorally, cognitively, and/or emotionally
Today’s schools are becoming diverse. Educational context diversity means the differences between teachers and students. These reasons for differences may be the culture, gender, age, personality, ethnicity etc. We find our classrooms are populated with gifted students, students with culturally diverse, and students with learning disabilities. The diversity variables focus on my analysis are the age group, culture, gender and language. Identifying how different students learn and their learning patterns
