Reimagining English Teaching Methods: Music Integration in a Rwandan Pre-Service Teacher Training Colleges.
Purpose-This study examines the role of music education in improving English language skills among pre-service teachers in Rwandan Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) following the full implementation of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in 2021. Research Methodology/Design/Approach-Guided by contemporary perspectives on second language acquisition, the study employs a mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were collected through English proficiency assessments administered before and after the implementation of music-centered instructional activities. Qualitative data were generated from semi-structured interviews with TTC educators to capture instructional practices and perceived learning changes. Qualitative analysis was conducted inductively by grouping recurring patterns into themes until thematic saturation was reached, and the two strands were integrated to strengthen interpretation. Finding-Preliminary results indicate that integrating music into English instruction increases learner motivation and participation while supporting phonological awareness, pronunciation accuracy, and vocabulary retention. Music-based activities appear to create a collaborative and low-anxiety classroom climate that encourages practice, enhances confidence, and sustains engagement during language learning. Originality/Value-This study contributes practical evidence for TTC educators and policymakers by positioning music as an accessible, culturally responsive, and potentially high-impact approach for strengthening English competence among future teachers in Rwanda. Beyond language outcomes, the findings suggest that music can function as a transferable pedagogical resource with broader relevance for learner-centered teaching across subjects and diverse educational contexts.
The Compatibility of English Language Textbooks with Rwanda’s Competency-Based Curriculum in Primary Education
Purpose -This study examines how well English language textbooks align with Rwanda’s national Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in primary schools, and identifies where alignment succeeds at the design level but breaks down during classroom implementation. Research Methodology/Design/Approach-the study conducts a critical content review of selected primary English textbooks (P2, P4, P5, and P6) alongside official CBC curriculum documents approved/published by the Rwanda Education Board (REB). The analysis integrates content and thematic analysis to compare intended competencies, learning outcomes, language expectations, and assessment orientations across policy and textbook materials. Finding-The findings reveal strong design-level alignment in learning intent and competency orientation across textbooks and curriculum documents. However, substantial implementation-level misalignments persist, driven by (1) tensions between Kinyarwanda use and English as the mandated medium of instruction, (2) limited teacher English proficiency, (3) structural constraints such as insufficient instructional time and overcrowded classrooms, and (4) assessment practices that may inadvertently shift teaching away from CBC goals. Although Rwanda demonstrates policy commitment through supportive legislation, investment in teacher training, and digital learning initiatives, a persistent gap remains between the availability of high-quality resources and their effective accessibility and use in classrooms. Originality/Value -This study contributes a curriculum–textbook–implementation alignment perspective that clarifies why competence-based reforms may appear coherent on paper yet underperform in practice. It offers actionable recommendations to strengthen policy coherence, refine pedagogy and assessment practices, enhance teacher preparation, and accelerate equitable resource allocation to improve English proficiency and overall learning quality in Rwanda.

Learning Mosque Etiquette for Children with Discussion Method Using Canva Application
We often encounter the commotion caused by children in the mosque. Instead of scolding them, it actually makes them continue to do it; even some children are afraid to come to the mosque again. Just scolding without giving examples and explanations will not change anything from the children's attitudes. Providing understanding by discussing with the right method, and accompanied by media that follows the times, will make it easier for children to receive the material well. In the digital age, now is the opportunity to use technology to support learning. The descriptive qualitative approach is the method that the author uses in the study in order to present the research more comprehensively. The conclusion of this study shows that providing an understanding of the material to students does not always have to be with the lecture method and book media. Teachers must be able to think creatively in delivering material to students by adjusting their age and enthusiasm. This study shows the stages of implementing digital media and the application of group discussion methods at childhood age. The results are that students are more enthusiastic in participating in learning with different media and methods. The novelty of this study is so that teachers can be more creative and maximize media and learning methods with more variety.

Research Methodology/Design/Approach-A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted involving high school students enrolled in a physics class that applied local wisdom as a contextual learning approach. Data were collected using a critical thinking skills test developed based on Ennis’ five indicators of critical thinking. The collected data were then analyzed descriptively to evaluate students’ performance across each critical thinking indicator. Findings- The results revealed that students’ overall critical thinking skills were at a moderate level, with an average score of 62.36%. Among the five indicators, the highest performance was observed in "giving simple explanations" (68.2%), while the lowest was in "making further explanations" (57.3%). These findings suggest that although students are able to connect physics concepts to local phenomena, their ability to engage in deeper reasoning and advanced critical thinking still requires further pedagogical reinforcement. Originality / Value- This study contributes to the growing body of literature on contextual science education by emphasizing the role of local wisdom in fostering critical thinking skills. Unlike prior studies that focused on general instructional models, this research provides empirical evidence supporting the potential value of culturally integrated learning in the physics classroom, particularly in developing students’ higher-order thinking skills.
