A cross-sectional study was carried out in Ab’ala woreda of Afar national regional state from August to November 2017 with the objective of assessing the bacteriological quality, handling practice and major bacterial pathogens of camel milk. The study methodology employed was questionnaire survey and observational study for handling practice and bacteriological count and isolation and detection of major pathogenic bacteria from raw camel milk. Thirty (30) purposively selected camel herders were interviewed for the survey-based study of milk handling practices and forty raw milk samples were aseptically collected and tested for bacteriological load analysis and isolation of major bacteria. The overall average total bacterial count ranged from 2.3x10 to 1.65x10 cfu/ml with a mean value of 56.20x10 milk samples directly from the teat and 92.25x10cfu/ml milk samples from equipment (buckets) at farm level. Results showed very significant differences in total plate counts (P < 0.05) between the two milk collection points. The total bacterial count of the milk samples was high in buckets when compared to the samples taken from the teat directly. In this study milking system and handling practices like udder cleaning, hand washing before milking and cleaning vessels was in poor sanitary condition. No statistically significant variation was observed in coliform counts in milk samples collected from the teat compared to milk samples from the equipment used to milk camels. Meanwhile, coliform counts demonstrated a limited increase (P > 0.05) from udder (teat) to equipment (bucket) level. High coliform count in milk indicates fecal contamination of milk. Milk was produced and handled in unhygienic condition. The results of the current study indicated that the camel milk produced and handling in the study area can generally be considered as substandard in quality for consumption unless pasteurized. Therefore, this risk assessment study with similar different studies reported from different regions in Ethiopia might provide a basis for the establishment of national milk quality standards in Ethiopia.

It is believed that learners need to know how to succeed in improving their reading skill and using literary texts in teaching reading skill provides opportunities for them to develop literal understanding, and promote problem-solving ability. For this reason, Ministry of Education in Ethiopia launched to incorporate literary texts in EFL students’ textbook. However, it was not yet implemented effectively and teachers were observed unresponsive in teaching reading skills through literary materials found in the textbook. In response of this, the study mainly focuses on investigating teachers’ practices and perceptions and hindrances they encountered in teaching literary texts. To conduct the study qualitative research design was employed. In-depth interview and classroom observation were used as data gathering tools. In-depth interview was administered for four English language teachers. On the other hand, among the total of ten sections, seven sections were selected randomly and observed four times each. While observing, semi-structured observation checklist was used. The data depicted that English language teachers in the study school are found de-motivated and have negative perception towards teaching reading skill through literary texts found in the students’ textbook, and many of them are not found in creating opportunities for the students to read different literary texts and practice pre, while and post-reading activities in the form of group work, role-play, storytelling, discussion, pair work, and debates. Furthermore, teachers’ practices of teaching reading skill through literary texts have challenged by a number of factors. Of which teachers’ perception, lack of experience and preparation, text authenticity, difficulty, length, and large class size, students’ motivation, and perception, shortage of time, and lack of in-service training are found the major ones. Finally, to meet the needs and interest of the teachers’ and students’, English language curriculum, syllabus designers, should consider their cultural background, linguistic level, and communicative competences.
