It is important that students know how to give opinions, give sound reasons for those opinions, and evaluate and judge on specific situation. This is possible by integrating critical thinking skills into teaching English language receptive skills. It explains how to enrich and develop students' thinking and implementing it in the educational process and lifelong learning. The basic aim of the current research is to provide suggestions for integrating critical thinking skills into teaching English language receptive skills. The current research ends with the conclusion that it is suggested to integrate critical thinking skills in teaching English language receptive skills for its valuable effect on developing students thinking, interaction and awareness as well as making them more interactive in the learning process.

Fish were collected using electrofishing. Water temperature varied from 10.5C in January to 33C in July. The feeding activity of the species ranged from 60.5% in March to 87.7% in October and the feeding intensity varied from 6.08 point/ fish in December to 8.7 point/ fish in July. The study shows that species is omnivorous, fed mainly on insects (41.2%), algae (28.74%), diatos (15.94%), aquatic plants (12.36%), fishs (3.74%), and snails (0.3%) according to the index of relative importance (IRI).

Fish were collected monthly from November 2013 and October 2014 using electeofishig. The species constituted 48.3% of the total catch. Fish lengths of 7.0 to 12.0 cm dominated the population. Total length-weight relationship was found to be W= 0.003 L 3.087 for immature, W= 0.004 L 3.027 for males and W = 0.002 L 3.193 for females. The mean relative condition factor was 1.05 for immature, 0.99 for male and1.06 for female. Reading of scales indicated that the maximum age was four years. The von Bertalanffy growth equation was L t = 20.4(1-e-0.35(t+0.277)). Sex ratio was 1:1.7 male to female. The mean value of L m50 was 8.0cm for both sexes. The peak of GSI was in January for both sexes. The spawning period began in February. Absolute fecundity for A. mossulensis varied from 1119 to 5022 eggs.

It has become a feasible solution to increase worldwide access to education. This study examines the main outlooks, prospects, technologies, and challenges facing DE in line with international best practices, as well as the need to expand the benefits and interests of many learners. To present an accurate view of these aspects in this study, 20 samples referring to these aspects were randomly selected from different authoritative international universities. Then, observation and testing have been conducted to answer the research questions. Many prospects are being achieved by applying such a system of education. Moreover, the researchers identify many technical devices that have been used in this area with their advantages and disadvantages. Challenges are the most influential concepts that affect the whole process, its usefulness: development and success.

These properties have referred to as language universals. Two types of language universals are commonly identified: formal universals and substantive universals. Formal universals refer to general design features of language such as the movement and ordering of items according to certain principle and that all languages are 'categorybased' i.e. every language has nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs although the items which count as such may vary from one language to another. Substantive universals are the particular structural features which languages have in common as part of their content such as the noun phrase and that the phrase usually the complement comes before or after the head, and in the way these phrases are combined to form a sentence (Finch, 2000: 1271...

The purpose of the current study is to shed light on the fundamental role of Memory strategies and Vocabulary Learning Strategies suggested in vocabulary teaching and learning. Thus, the study has presented a comprehensive overview of both strategies by selecting the most prominent ones. In addition, it offered a thorough demonstration of vocabulary background in general and vocabulary in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in particular. The research question states: Can Memory Strategies (MSs) and Vocabulary Learning Strategies(VLSs) be integrated and applied in teaching and learning vocabulary? In conclusion, the study tries to make it clear for the reader, teachers, and learners, that merging (MS) and (VLS) can be utilized for this objective. The implication of the study lies in providing the reader with a grounded platform for selecting what is suitable in a t...
