Reading is an interactive- constructive process in which readers comprehend, interpret, and respond to the text according to what they already know. Effective readers have personal expectations about what they will get from a selection, and they bring those expectations to bear as they read by predicting and testing their predictions. The children actively create meaning by constructing, or generating relationship between what is within the text and what they already know. Some researchers describe reading as a ;transaction, (Rosenblatt 1988) in which meaning emerges from a give and take relationship between the reader and the print on the page. The interaction between the reader and the text allowed reader to construct their own meaning background Knowledge and experience according to there. This research was therefore conducted to identify strategies that were being implemented by the teacher to develop reading comprehension in students. And how, the teachers could be facilitated to improve their teaching strategies to enhance students reading comprehension skills. This study was divided into two phases. Phase 1 dealt with implementing strategies that could develop comprehension skills through stories in an ESL classroom. Story helps to develop language in the classroom, as Meek (1988) points out, ;Stories encourage them to take on new meaning regularly in a context of shared enjoyment. They learn about language and the different ways it is used. (P.37) They learn new language of stories, which is different from everyday spoken language. Gradually children take possession of the language of books and they begin to learn vital lessons about the reading process Phase II was an exploration of how to facilitate the teacher in her professional development. For enhancing her knowledge about implementing effective strategies like predicting, questioning, silent reading and group work, to develop children reading comprehension. The findings revealed the teachers understanding and her changes in her perception throughout the course of the study. And how this study helped her to professionally develop her style of teaching in order to get the desired children's reading comprehension. The findings also revealed that as a result of teacher development and reflection on practice, the teacher could change her conception and her approaches to the teaching of reading comprehension skills.

ضبط کو آزما رہا ہوں میں

ضبط کو آزما رہا ہوں میں
بے وفا سے نبھا رہا ہوں میں

لوگ کہنے لگے ہیں دیوانہ
ایسے اعزاز پا رہا ہوں میں

بخدا میرے بس کی بات نہیں
جتنے صدمے اٹھا رہا ہوں میں

میرے احباب کو مبارک ہو
چھوڑ کر شہر جا رہا ہوں میں

عشق کی آگ کیوں نہیں بجھتی
کب سے تائبؔ بجھا رہا ہوں میں

ملامح البديع و البيان في آيات سورة الرحمن

The term “Balãgha” is used in Arabic literature. The word Balagha is derived from a root “ بلغ” (Balãgha) meaning “ to reach” and the etymology is explained by interpreting the “Balãgha” as the art of reaching the listener in attempting to convey one`s idea to him, or the art of reaching the utmost perfection in the style and content of a composition. A perfect word for the term Balagha in English literature is Rhetoric. It is the body of principles and theory having to do with the presentation of facts and ideas in clear, convincing and attractive language. The traditional aim of rhetoric was to give effectiveness to public speech. Rhetoric is a comprehensive science just as much concerned with what one could say as how one might say it. It studies the effectiveness of language comprehensively including its emotional impact as well as its propositional content. The title of my paper reflects the rhetorical aspects of the Sūrah Al-Rahmān. It is a part of the Holy Quran.

Patients Perspective on the Non-Urgent Use of the Emergency Department in Kenya

Background: Globally, there is an increasing demand for emergency department (ED) care in many countries accompanied by the dire need to optimize scant resources. Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) is facing a rapid surge in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) compounded by an already prevailing significant problem of communicable diseases and injuries. This has led to increased demand for emergency care expertise owing to acute complications of all these conditions. The impact includes ED overcrowding, increased healthcare costs, extended waiting periods and overstretched essential services. To mitigate this, it is imperative that EDs be utilized appropriately to continue providing quality emergency medical care services. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to establish why patients visit the ED in a tertiary hospital for non-urgent care, whether they understood the role of the ED and their perception of the urgency of their presenting medical conditions. Methodology: An exploratory qualitative study was conducted. In-depth interviews were conducted among patients triaged as non-urgent using an interview guide. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically using NVivo 12 software. Results: Thematic saturation was reached after interviewing a total of 24 patients. The results showed that several factors contributed to the non-urgent use of the ED: lack of awareness on alternative places to seek care, familiarity with the ED, closure of other departments after hours and on weekends and teamwork by ED staff. Most of the patients understood that the ED was a place where patients needing urgent medical attention with life threatening conditions were attended to and such patients were not required to queue. Majority of the patients felt their conditions were life threatening. Conclusion: Several reasons were identified in this study as to why patients with non-urgent medical conditions sought care in the ED. This was despite a majority of the patients being able to correctly define the role of the ED. There is need to continuously educate patients on which conditions are appropriate to be seen in the ED and provide mechanisms of referring patients with non-urgent conditions to alternative sites of care.
