In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline studentsin several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the students＇ parents. Some- times students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes.

CULTIVATON OF STUDENTS''''INTEREST AND MOTIVATION IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING

Many middle school students like to ask how they can learn English well. This is really a difficult question to answer, Some teachers may frankly tell their students:Memorize new words and phrases, spend much time in reading and soon you will have a good command of English. As a matter of fact,the case is not like this. The English language has a large vocabulary of more than 400,000 words not including phrases. How can a student's brain take in so many words just like a computer? On the other hand, if the student lays too much emphasis on written English (and only learns it well),what will he do when he wants to express himself orally without any communicative competence?The teachers neglect the importance of the other three skills,which are listening,speaking and writing,

Johnny Come Lately-Again!

Some students are late for school for reasons that are beyond their control. Some students arrive at school after the bell has rung because of choices they've made. Their lateness might be a symptom of anxiety about school- caused by either academic or social concerns. And some students wander in to class a few minutes late because they like the attention their grand entrance receives - especially if it results in a few minutes of one-on-one time with the teacher.If you have a student who consistently arrives late for school, try to identify the pattern that student is exhibiting. You will want to talk with the student and his parents, of course;

Bridging the Digital Divide and the Use of Information and Communications Technology （ICT） in South African Universities： a Comparison Study among Selected Historically Black Universities （HBUs） and Historically White Universities （HWUs）

It has become common place for students in historically white universities （HWUs） in South Africa to have 24 hour access to computers, the Internet, e-learning facilities, check results online and even register online. However, historically black universities （HBUs） are still battling to have access to these facilities. On a macro level, the issue of lack of access to basic ICT facilities or digital divide exists. This is evident in the fact that developed nations like U.S.A and Switzerland have significant access to ICT, while under-developed nations in Africa like Ethiopia and Congo do not enjoy considerable access. On a micro level in South Africa, digital divide still exists. Even the divide exists among South African Universities as students in historically white institutions like Pretoria, Rhodes and Stellenbosch Universities enjoy unlimited access to ICT facilities like computers and the internet. However, the reverse is the case in HBUs where access rate is very limited and personal observation bears this out as most historically black institutions like the University of Fort Hare, University of Limpopo, and University of Zululand, just to mention a few are still battling with the issue of access to ICT facilities. This paper presents the findings of a survey conducted to examine the present ICT status / capacity of HBUs compared to what exists in HWUs in South Africa. It will attempt to identify the reasons for the continued disparity in ICT access between HWUs and HBUs and also to identify how HBUs can address the divide and leapfrog to an era of full ICT access.
