This study aimed to examine the interactive effect of multimedia and formative assessment on promoting Iranian intermediate EFL learners’ pragmatic fluency. To this aim, 80 male high school students in grade eleventh from Andimeshk, Khuzestan, Iran were selected. Then, the selected participants were divided into four equal groups of 20 and a pre-test of pragmatic fluency was administered to them. After that, the control group was taught via traditional method. The first experimental group was exposed to presenting the instructional materials b using multimedia with summative assessment, the second experimental group was exposed to multimedia using formative assessment and the third experimental group received the treatment through conventional approach with formative assessment. At the end of the treatment, the participants were given a teacher-made post-test of pragmatic fluency. The analysis of the results showed that the experimental groups outperformed the control group on the post-test. The results suggest that teachers should be aware of their suitable methods for teaching their learners and they should teach their students based on methods and strategies to enhance their learning and motivation. 

This study aimed at comparing the impact of teacher-selected vs. student-selected discussion groups on speaking fluency of extrovert vs. introvert Iranian EFL learners. In order to do the study, 80 homogenous students were selected from among 140 intermediate female English language learners through the Oxford Placement Test. Then they were divided into introvert and extrovert learners based on the results of the extrovert and introvert questionnaire, and they were totally divided into four groups, namely extrovert student-selected, introvert student-selected, extrovert teacher-selected, and introvert teacher-selected. The participants in all groups took part in the speaking pretest. To do the discussion activities during the treatment process, the participants in the student-selected groups choose their groupmates themselves, while in the teacher-selected groups, the group members were chosen by the teacher. Finally, the participants took part in the posttest of speaking, and the obtained data were analyzed. The results of the analyses showed that selecting discussion groups by both students and teacher affected speaking fluency of extrovert and introvert learners. The results also confirmed that extrovert learners, in both student-selected groups and teacher-selected groups, outweighed the introvert learners regarding their speaking fluency. Teachers are, therefore, recommended to use both teacher-selected and student-selected discussion groups in their classes. They are also recommended to encourage introvert students to take part more actively in class discussions to obtain better results in improving their speaking.

The research sample was selected using purposive and snowball sampling and data collection was done through semi-structured interviews. Three stages of open, axial and selective coding are used in data analysis and the model of Neighborhood Educational Center School is divided into six categories: causal conditions, axial phenomenon (Neighborhood Educational Center School), mediating conditions, intervening conditions, Neighborhood Educational Center school strategies and consequences. And was presented. As a result, 28 core categories and 50 subcategories were obtained. The core category of the proposed model is the neighborhood educational center school, which includes 3 core categories (the concept of the neighborhood educational center school, the main features and elements of the neighborhood educational center school and 26 sub-categories. Also, control and evaluation by participating members (review of the designed model and problem solving) and the criteria of trustability, transferability, generality, and reliability were used.
