Abstract: Learning Mathematics is not fun for most female and male learners enrolled in public and private schools, instead, it is viewed with trepidation and described as a nightmare. To turn this situation around, the teaching strategies applied by the teacher need to help both female and male learner overcome these difficulties. For this cause a quasi-experiment was carried out on three schools in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality. The individual variables (Gender#Teaching_strategies) were significant. According to the marginal means, the male and female learners' average scores were higher under cooperative teaching strategy (CTS) than in the traditional teaching strategy (TTS), but with a gap between female and male scores (females>males), while under TTS, males and females exhibit the narrowest difference in scores between scores. Both the male and female learners in the cooperative.......

Abstract: External factors influencing student interaction in oral English language classes are very important and at Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration (TUEBA), it is not an exception. Classroom interaction here is observed to be quite low with a large number of students finding it hard to interact with their teachers and classmates; therefore, it is extremely necessary to conduct this research with the aim of investigating external factors affecting Vietnamese student interaction in their oral EFL (English as Foreign Language) classes and seeking appropriate solutions to help students improve their oral EFL classroom interaction. The findings of this study suggest that the primary external factors influencing student interaction include classroom apprehension......
