Abstract—Globalization has currently caused rapid changing in technology and innovations. New graduates risk the lack of practical skills to perform in actual work. The solution called ‘Heuristic Problem Solving’ comes in play. This education model suggests “problem solving skills” as a target. Students must study taskproblems. Once each task problem is eliminated, students shall create a formula or solution process. The created principles or rules can then be used as comparable references to solve problems in the same or similar circumstances. The objectives of this research are: 1) analysis and synthesis of blended instruction procedures to enhance problem solving skills 2) evaluation of the proposed instruction procedures by experts. This study was a documentation research. It was carried out by means of -Literature Studies: From books and web sites, theories and researches related to blended instruction procedures to enhance problem solving skills were collected; and, various design principles for course-work instruction were studied and integrated. Study of Current Situation and Needs: Current situations, needs and functional expectations had been studied. The collected data were analyzed and synthesized, to construct this blended instruction procedures. Assessment: The proposed instruction procedures was examined and assessed by experts. The overall result was highly satisfactory. It indicated that this blended instruction procedures can be implemented further.

Giido Izuta
Yamagata Prefectural Yonezawa Women’s Junior College 6-15-1 Toori Machi, Yonezawa City, Yamagata, 992-0025 Japan
Abstract—In order to understand and characterize the sounds of the letters of the alphabet as well as to figure out whether the students show some sort of affinity with spoken English of a particular region/country, the utterances of three groups (26 Japanese female students, 10 British and 20 American women) were recorded, analyzed, and statistically compared. It turned out that only a few letters had both F2 and F1 statistically similar to those of the native speakers; and preference to a specific English sound pattern was not statistically established.
Keywords—Phonetics, applied Linguistics, analysis of formants, characteristics of English utterances by Japanese female students.

Abstract—School attitude is an important element that stimulates students’ motivation to perform well at college/university, while learning style refers to students’ ability to acquire knowledge and participate in the learning experience. One of the more popular instrument to identify this learning style is VARK – visual (V), aural (A), read/write (R) and kinesthetic (K). This is particularly important for private higher education institutions (PHEI) in Malaysia as the industry is extremely competitive and the need to brand the institution for sustainable competitive advantage by matching school attitude with learning style becomes crucial. With this background, the research aims to examine the relationship between high/low school attitude and learning style among social science students in PHEI. This was undertaken using the School Attitude Assessment Survey and VARK Learning Style Inventories administered to 300 social science students in two PHEI in Klang Valley. Results of the study revealed that students with high school attitude were positively correlated to visual, aural, read and write, kinesthetic and mixed leaning styles. Furthermore, mixed learning style was the preferred learning style for both students’ with high and low school attitudes.
