This study is aimed at investigating the impact of task-based learning approach on developed reading comprehension of the EFL learners. To this end, the scores of reading comprehension tests in a group of students experiencing task-oriented method were compared with those of another group taught the common reading and translation method. The participants include 26 master's degree candidates of educational technology at the Faculty of Educational Sciences, Allameh Tabataba'i University, in the academic year 2012-2013. The researcher randomly selected the subjects from among the female master's degree candidates of educational technology and divided them into two 13-member groups, namely experimental and control. The experimental group completed the educational text based on the task-oriented lesson plan, and the control group was taught the content with the common method. The measurement tool includes researcher-developed pre-test and post-test on English language reading comprehension at the higher education level. The tests were reliable by 0.63 and 0.72 respectively, which was higher than the criterion, i.e. 0.60. The data analysis method is quantitative, including mean, standard deviation, lowest and highest numbers of the experimental and control groups. The significance test suggested a difference between means of the two groups by means of different t-statistic. Results of the data analysis indicate that the language scores in the experimental group, taught using the task-oriented method, were higher in comparison to those of the control group, taught using the common reading and translation method. Therefore, the task-based method in teaching the English language develops reading comprehension skill of the learners.

This study examines the effectiveness of an educational computer game designed based on the EFM model on motivation and learning of students. The statistical population is consisted of female students of architectural design at the industrial arts schools of Ghaemshahr City in the academic year 2013-2014. 50 subjects were selected objectively from the schools offering this field of study and randomly divided in two experimental and control groups. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and control group. After producing the Architect game, first pretests of motivation and learning were administered to both experimental and control groups. Then, common lesson content was taught to both groups, and the experimental group played the educational game in two sessions and an interview was conducted on some of its members. Finally, posttests of motivation and learning were administered to the both groups. Research instruments included Keller motivation questionnaires and the researcher-developed learning test. Results of the quantitative analysis based on ANCOVA method suggest the positive impact of the game on the students' motivation, and an interpretive analysis of the qualitative data deriving from the interviews indicates that most of the students were interested in and satisfied with playing the game in their learning environments.
