Ahmed Awad Amin Raba and Islam Asim Ismail

Research on creative thinking has a long tradition. This study seeks to investigate the degree of enhancing creative thinking skills in the English for
Palestine curricula from ESL teachers’ perspectives. It also aims at proposing possible solutions to enhance the creative thinking skills in ESL
classrooms. To accomplish this aim, the researchers developed a questionnaire that includes a 20-item and semi-structured interview that includes 4-
question interview questions. The two instruments are aimed at collecting qualitative and quantitative data comprehensively to answer three main
questions. Findings of the research showed that the degree of using creative thinking in schools and curricula is low and inadequate. In the light of these
findings, the researchers recommended divergent methods of teaching, adequate training for teachers and students on different techniques, and the
inclusion of activities in the curricula to improve students’ creative thinking. It also strongly recommends teachers to employ Bloom’s Taxonomy in their
teaching method.

Herbew and Ancient Greek Literature to Provide Development of Literacy Techniques

Munene Munna

The historical backdrop of writing is the verifiable improvement of works in exposition or verse that endeavor to give diversion, illumination, or guidance to the peruse/audience/spectator, just as the advancement of the abstract strategies utilized in the correspondence of these pieces. Not all works establish writing. Some recorded materials, for example, assemblages of information are not viewed as writing, and this article relates just to the development of the works characterized previously. Writing a lot, however associated, is not interchangeable. The absolute first compositions from old Sumer by any sensible definition don't comprise writing the equivalent is valid for a portion of the early Egyptian hieroglyphics or the huge number of logs from old Chinese systems. Researchers have regularly differ concerning when put down account keeping turned out to be more similar to "writing" than all else; the definition is to a great extent emotional. Additionally, given the noteworthiness of distance as a social isolator in prior hundreds of years, the authentic improvement of writing didn't happen at an even speed across the world. The issues of making a uniform worldwide history of writing are compounded by the way that numerous writings have been lost throughout the long term, either intentionally, coincidentally, or by the total disappearance of the beginning society. Much has been composed, for instance, about the annihilation of the Library of Alexandria in the first century BC, and the countless key writings which are accepted to have been lost always to the blazes. The intentional concealment of writings (and frequently their writers) by associations of either an otherworldly or a worldly nature further covers the subject.
