The aim of this study was to identify the problems and difficulties faced by the students in pronouncing vowel sounds in their loud reading and speaking, and the factors which affects students’ pronunciation development. It has been observed that learners encounter number of pronunciation problems and difficulties in speaking and loud reading. In this study, fifty 2nd year Students of the Faculty of Management and Commerce, South Eastern University of Sri Lanka were randomly selected as sample population for investigation. The primary data were collected using qualitative and quantitative methods, and the research instruments used in this study were oral pronunciation test, questionnaire and audio tape recording. The instruments enabled the researcher to identify vowel mispronunciation with their opinions about pronunciation. According to the data analysis, the findings show that the learners encountered difficulties in pronouncing vowel sounds such as /iː/ as /i/, /uː/ as /u/ and /əʊ/ as /ɔ/. Moreover, the opinion survey revealed that the learners show lack of interest in learning pronunciation and many factors that affect their pronunciation development. These pronunciation problems and difficulties can be overcome and improved through implementing pronunciation as a separate component like grammar and writing in English as a Second Language curriculum of Department of English Language Teaching of South Eastern University of Sri Lanka. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":29810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75011697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most valuable aspects of high-performing schools is how school leaders and teachers work together as a group, and it is clear that the school leader is a big part of that. This study assessed the relationship of the managerial skills of the school heads in the Division of Antique to the teacher performance. The study employed a descriptive research design, and the respondents were the 140 randomly selected elementary and high school teachers. The study revealed that most teachers were female, middle-aged, married, with 11.36 years of teaching experience, pursuing graduate studies, with Teacher 1 position, and rated with an outstanding performance. In addition, the results revealed that school leaders' managerial skills were rated as \"always\"; this indicates that school leaders demonstrated effective managerial skills, as assessed by the teachers. In addition, the study disclosed a significant correlation between the managerial skills of school leaders and teachers’ performance. Thus, the researchers recommended that school heads' managerial skills be upheld by the key result areas outlined in the Performance Standards for School Heads to improve their managerial competence with the assistance of the National Educators Academy of the Philippines within their standards and the quality of training delivery.","PeriodicalId":29810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74633156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of cases that afflict consumers due to consuming processed food products that do not meet the specified quality standards, for example the case of packaged milk containing melamine, non-halal adjinomoto cooking spices, candy containing addictive substances, and others. The problems discussed in writing this article are the form of increased supervision of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) on the circulation of food and drugs containing hazardous materials and the efforts of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency regarding the circulation of food containing hazardous materials. The research method used in the provisions governing the existence of sanctions in order to increase effective supervision for perpetrators who violate these rules. So it is hoped that strict sanctions for business actors who violate in the context of writing articles are normative legal research, in the form of research by examining laws and regulations that are related to legal problems that occur. The results of the study form ways to improve supervision carried out by BPOM by indirectly forming an integrated food supervision network with other agencies such as the agriculture department, the trade department, which collaborate in particular to conduct a supervision team on the circulation of food and drugs containing hazardous materials. Therefore, BPOM must carry out its duties and functions collectively to prevent business actors from committing fraud by using materials containing hazardous substances. Then the efforts made by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency related to the distribution of food containing hazardous materials, namely preventive and repressive efforts.

The study specifically sought to analyse the extent to which location and physical facilities determines academic performance of students. Data for the study were obtained through field surveys including questionnaire administration. A total of 200 copies of questionnaire were distributed in the sampled schools. However, students were the target population of the study. The variables that were used in measuring location were noise, ventilation and travelling distance from home to schools. Variables for physical facilities were libraries, science laboratories, adequacy of classrooms and ICT/computer laboratories. It was observed in the study that majority of the schools were located in considerably far distances and the environs where schools are located are susceptible to noise and pollution. It was also noted that majority of the students were undertaking studies in poorly ventilated classrooms. Furthermore, the study observed that physical facilities such as libraries and laboratories were poorly equipped, classrooms were inadequate and ICT/computer laboratories were not properly equipped. All of these pose threats to the academic performance of students. For instance, it was observed that majority of the students perform low academically. Holistically, it is difficult for student to attain academic goals as well as perform academically well in school environments that are unconducive and lack the necessary physical facilities. Based on the study findings, it was concluded that schools be located in places that are not prone to atmospheric and noise pollution. Equally, there is need to ensure that schools structures are designed in such a way that ventilation will be adequate was stressed. Finally, facilities such as libraries, science and computer laboratories should be equipped appropriately.","PeriodicalId":29810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85795955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The variables for establishing the satisfaction level were broadly categorized into three (3); housing location, physical facilities and environmental factors. However, five (5) public residential estates were selected for data collection. Data were elicited using 100 copies of questionnaire. Questionnaire were given to household heads and all were returned and used for analysis. Analysis were carried out using frequencies and relative satisfaction index (RSI). With RSI, the satisfaction level of the residents with the housing area was determined. Furthermore, a five point likert scale was adopted in collecting data from residents within the housing area. Findings revealed that the residents of public housing estates were not completely satisfied with the housing environments. For instance, it was shown that the residents were fairly satisfied with the housing location. Similar results were obtained on both the environmental and physical facilities. Variables such as proximity to service, waste disposal/management, water supply among others were observed to influence the level of satisfaction of residents with the housing area. It was also observed that facilities and amenities were drastically deteriorating within public residential estates and the aesthetic quality of the housing environment is facing serious distortion. Based on these observations, it was suggested that facilities and amenities that go along to making housing environments habitable and conducive be provided and deteriorating facilities be upgraded.
