The current research also focuses on promoting the positive values of this category and interest in developing their skills and to highlight attempts to support and assist that group which can offer innovative and innovative solutions through training on some important experiments monitored by research. It also appreciates the various initiatives being offered to that category. The research aims to promote the values of national identity and human values and nationalism in general. The research records some of the problems facing the community, to highlight the importance of the value of work and its benefit to the individual and society and the benefit of this for the state.<br /> The current research used the descriptive approach that is because it has an excellent ability to study the situation in a systematic scientific way and to provide realistic, correct and accurate results on the situation which are studied. That approach is commensurate with the situation we are studying, as it can describe a comprehensive, good, adequate and sufficient description which is required in order to arrive at the correct and sound results.<br /> This research included a case study through Jurun experience; it is an important experiment that has spread the theater in all Egyptian villages and it began to make plays out and quickly received acceptance and was welcomed by the people of these villages where the texts were proposed by the villagers in proportion to the problems they face and suffer from. The experience touched the problems of the villagers, so the reaction was impressive, one of the most important findings is that attention to adolescence creates a healthy society in the future, and that theater plays a prominent role in addressing the problems of society. It has a sensitive role in education and instilling positive values in individuals and societies and the research found that there is a wide gap between rural and urban people, The difference is in the level of thinking and culture due to lack of potential and the spread of negative habits.

The researcher taught both groups: the experimental group was taughtthrough using a computer-based scaffolding strategy while the control group was taught through the traditional way of teaching. Theresults of the study revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the meanscores of the experimental group and the control group in the reading comprehension skills in additionto self-regulation in favor of the experimental group.

Abstract<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> T<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> he phenomenon of technology-enhanced impact on teaching science is explored in this proposal with the goal of addressing the need to foster student understanding through the use of technology. The findings of this research; based on analysis of data from surveys undertaken by teachers and students, are a vivid indication that despite the high cost that accompanies implementation of technology in teaching and learning science through acquisition of hardware and training, there is consensual benefit in terms of increased discernment and ease of scientific knowledge delivery derived from the use of technology. As such, this proposal affirms the need for the incorporation of technology in teaching and learning science as a suitable way of enhancing the delivery of scientific information and concepts, as well as, improving understanding among students.

Résumé en français<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> C<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> omme les futurs enseignants non spécialisés souffrent du manque des compétences linguistiques et communicatives de FLE. Par conséquent, le chercheur a essayé dans la recherche actuelle de développer un certain nombre de ces compétences chez eux. Pour préciser la problématique de la recherche, il a appliqué un questionnaire des besoins de formation aux futurs enseignants non spécialisés de FLE inscrits à l’unité des études supérieures à faculté de pédagogie de Minia en 2018 pour avoir un diplôme général en pédagogie. , il a profité de l’analyse de ce questionnaire à élaborer une grille des compétences linguistiques et communicatives utiles destinée aux futurs enseignants. Il a désigné un stage qui compte trois unités ayant un contenu intéressant du vocabulaire, de règles grammaticales et des activités de communication orale en français. Grâce au progrès des outils technologiques le contenu de ce stage était à la disposition des étudiants inscrits au diplôme général à faculté de pédagogie de Minia au deuxième semestre en 2018 d’après de CD d’après l’internet .Ils ont appris le stage à distance. Pour mesurer l’efficacité de ce stage basé sur la formation à distance, le chercheur a appliqué les pré/post tests de vocabulaire, de grammaire et de communication orale. En analysant statistiquement les résultats des membres de l’échantillon par le programme de SPSS, le chercheur a constaté que l’apprentissage de stage en fonctionnant la formation à distance a un effet très positif à améliorer les compétences linguistiques et communicatives chez les futurs enseignants non spécialisés.

Abstract:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Textbook is an important instructional means for both teachers and students everywhere in general. Thus, a textbook is an effective instrument for the educational practice through which values and senses of individuals and nations can be reflected. Therefore, the present study attempted to evaluate the cultural content of the pilot edition of the EFL course <strong>“Flying High”</strong> assigned this year 1435 / 1436 h to selected High School . The researcher focused on the analysis of Saudi-secondary stage textbooks with the ultimate goal of identifying the cultural contents included. The data of the cultural content in the targeted sample of EFL text- books were collected by three ways: one is the theme of the whole unit; including the gist of the pre-reading, the second, will be the cultural information in details embodied in the pre-reading. Thirdly, a checklist was developed for exploring the cultural content embedded in secondary stage textbooks. In a general sense, the cultural content of the target three textbooks are not adequate to support common Saudi cultural values. Accordingly, the cultural content of the target three textbooks should be rewritten to match common Saudi cultural values.
