No full textThe aim of this research was to identify green supply chain management practicesimplemented bypurified drinking water factories in Shwe Pyi Thar industrial Zone and to determine the effect of implementation of green supply chain management practices on performanceof purified drinking water factories in Shwe Pyi Thar Industrial Zone. The primary data and secondary were used.The primary data were collected by interviewing with 100 employees (50%) who have responsibilities of the sample purified drinking water factories.Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used.It found out that firms appreciate the role of green supply chain management practices which are green procurement practices, green manufacturing practices, green distribution practices and reverse logistics practices. Among them, green distribution practices have highest mean scores.The relationship between GSCM practices and firm performance are as follows: all of the practices are significant relationship with operational performance except green manufacturing practices. Both the green procurement and green manufacturing practices are significant relationship with financial performance except green distribution and reverse logistics practices. Finally, only green manufacturing practices are significant relationship with environmental performance except remaining practices. The study also confirmed that GSCM practices are important in improving the performance of firms. The study recommends that the implementation of GSCM should be implemented purified drinking water factories because there are benefits that accrue from such implementation. Firms will benefit through increased use of recyclable materials, savings on costs due to effective utilization of available productive resources, reduction of the environmental impact of business processes and reduction of operational costs and risk of prosecution based on anti-environment reasons

Pedagogic Strategies for Explaining Anaphora and its Antecedent
No full textThis research is mainly concerned with anaphora and its antecedent, a word or phrase which
refers back to another word or phrase in text. Anaphora can help the students understand the text
in the context thoroughly. Without comprehending them, it is not easy to grasp the messages
conveyed in the text. Thus, this research focuses on anaphora and points out that it plays an
important role to understand the specific texts. This paper attempts to highlight on how to develop
reading skills through anaphora. And it may also provide the effective teaching strategies for
explaining anaphora and its antecedent in reading passages. This research will be, to some extent,
helpful to all students, especially for the undergraduate students from all specializations since they
can apply these strategies to develop their reading skill

Teaching Prepositions to First Year English Specialization Students through Context-based Approach
No full textThe aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the contextualized or functional grammar instruction in improving the writing performance of English language learners (ELL). This paper studies to teach grammar in EFL context using context-based grammar teaching approach and evaluates its impact on first year EFL learners to find the effect of context-based grammar on the EFL learners. 60 English language learners were divided into two groups. The first group was received just the traditional grammar instruction and the second group was treated with prepositions in context. Then they were given the same test. The findings indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups. Therefore, it is concluded that the treatment on experimental group caused significant improvement in their writing ability. It is also expected this study will give the teachers the opportunity to reflect on their teaching strategies and consider better ways to teach grammar in the future. Therefore, having the intention to work with this particular group in the future, I believed that such experiment would provide me with valuable input and will help me reflect and deepen my understanding of my teaching acts in the future
