This is in exact line with the recommendations of Saudi vision-2030 regarding technology integration for education. The vision advocates transformation of curricula and methods of teaching. Covid-19 pandemic taught us many lessons regarding limitations of traditional classrooms and routine teaching methods. In total, 52 learners of English for Specific purposes (ESP) were chosen following purposive-convenient sampling and grouped into control and experimental groups: n=25 and n=27 respectively. A test of specific English vocabulary was given to both the groups to further test them and ensure they were equal in level. Later, the learners were asked to attend 8 week reading sessions which utilised the experimental group in which the learners were exposed to practice reading computerized texts that integrated glosses. On the other hand, the controlled group took same reading texts, however without any glosses. When the training session (treatment) got over, the Specific English vocabulary test was given to both groups to investigate if there existed and significant difference in the learning of Specific English. Data analysis showed a significant difference between the learning of the two groups. Findings of the study demonstrated that multimedia glosses were helpful in enhancing learning of English for specific purposes (Medical English).

In other words, inclusive education is the need of time. This study deals with the hidden phenomenon of a student who, on the one hand, has a kind of disability, on the other hand, possesses Giftedness. However, the masking effect of either disability or Giftedness keeps this phenomenon hidden from parents, teachers, and even students themselves. This hidden phenomenon, popularly known as dual-exceptionality, is not considered crucial in most schools, which becomes an obstacle to the academic and overall growth of those students who are not exactly like their peers. The present study helps to understand the concept of dual exceptionality and its impact on the learning process by providing an insight for researchers to draw conclusions regarding the presence of dual exceptionality, its impact on learners, and even on teaching. The findings lead to suggestions that such factors should be considered in pedagogy, and researchers, pedagogues, special educators and planners should take into account the factor of Systematic Review Article

Sometimes difficulties arise on account of English teachers' lack of knowledge of the field or subject which they are supposed to deal with. Similarly, biology teachers may not teach effectively due to lack of proficiency in English among both teachers and learners. Both English teachers and biology teachers need to be ready to teach English and biology. Main objectives were to find out the types of issues and learning difficulties faced by the teachers of biological subjects related to English as medium of instruction at KAU, and to explore the preparedness of English teachers to teach the students of biology. The study is of descriptive-exploratory type based on the data gathered from a self-developed questionnaire. The findings of the study will contribute to the assessment of learning needs, betterment of methods of teaching of biology and related su...

Therefore, integration of local culture (Arab) in foreign (English) language teaching is cynically questioned. Studies support the notion that foreign language teaching can be boosted by the incorporation of foreign (British) culture in the target language (English) classroom. But, the application of local culture in the target language classroom poses great challenges as many factors affect the process such as: teachers’ native background, L2 teachers’ experience in native countries, L2 teachers’ preferences, teachers’ lack of local culture’s perception, lack of bilingual or multicultural awareness, administrators’ attitude towards local culture integration, students’ liking for native teacher and native contents, and traditional method of teaching English. Integration of local culture is required if the current books don’t have enough local material, and...

In a given situation, their failure can be directly attributed to ineffectiveness of teaching. Some students might be affected by some psychological or behavioural issues which may become more crucial in due course of time if instruction is not designed to assist special learners in the area of their difficulties. Anxiety is perhaps the most important factor that may affect the learning as a process. Anxiety may be of different reasons. Learning anxiety may be related to general anxiety which becomes a serious issue if not dealt properly in time. Differentiated instruction (DI) is a designed strategy based on differentiation philosophy to handle the problem faced by diverse/special learners: able, disable or especially ‘able ones’. DI gives all the diverse students the opportunity to learn the same curriculum; however, how each student learns is tailored dependent on students’ individual learning needs. ...

Amidst COVID, online delivery and assessment is used by many universities, which presents multiple challenges including authentication of academic integrity. Remote online delivery and assessment are novel experiences for many universities, which presents many challenges, particularly when safeguarding academic integrity. For example, invigilated assessments, often considered as more secure, are not an option given the current situation and detecting any cheating would be significantly challenging. This presentation reviews assessment security in the digital domain and critically evaluates the practices from different universities in safeguarding academic integrity, including associated challenges.
Keywords: academic integrity; COVID-19; remote learning and teaching
academic achievement, learning skills, self-confidence & motivation among the students. In addition, teachers’ and
learners’ readiness and attitudes are also looked into. Al-Kandri (2013) aimed to identify the impact of using eactivities in BB based learning on the academic achievement and motivation in a course in the College of Education
at Kuwait University. Results showed statistically significant differences between the average scores of the two
groups in the academic achievement test in favor of the experimental group but on motivation. Following were the
research questions:
1) What is the effectiveness of Blackboard in the development of academic achievement?
2) What is the level of preparedness among teachers and learners?
3) What is the effect of Blackboard on motivation and self-confidence among the students?
At King Abdulaziz university, there are thousands of students who pursue professional courses in general and business/accounting/management in particular. It has been felt that a book of professional English in Accounting is essential to cater to need of academic and specific English in KSA in general and KAU in particular.
The present attempt of writing a book for specific English (Accounting) is expected to facilitate the learners to acquire desirable level of professional English.
The author tried to incorporate nearly all important topics and sub topics related to Accounting yet the attempt may be modest. The author therefore, expects healthy frank advice, healthy criticism from teachers of ESP, colleagues, scholars, critics, students so that improvement can be made in near future.

Abstract
Education can be defined, and associated with different life dimensions in many ways. Philosophically, education is a means of making good human beings. It removes darkness or eliminates illiteracy or ignorance. From the view point of psychology, education is a process of personality development. Sociologically speaking, Education makes a society better in many ways. It is a means of socialization process. It targets modernization as well. Politically, education prepares better, dedicated and patriotic citizens. Educationally, it is an all-round development of an individual. On the other hand, education has a vocational aims as well. It helps aspirants to fulfill their career goals. Education is the means and human resource development (HRD) is the target. These days, education is thought as a means of getting jobs, therefore, educational institutions are running different courses to create, and develop human resource. To explain further, men are a kind of resource, and if not utilized, the resource will end up as a waste. Recently, due to COVID-19, we discovered that we need thousands of medical doctors to meet the need or demands of medical care in the global society. Therefore, the role of education in Human Resource Development is immense. It not only helps one get through interviews and get jobs, but also helps in shaping how one thinks and process things. Teachers play important roles in reinforcing the children who want to join future careers.
