“…Furthermore, a descriptive correlation was stated to show the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables.

21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World offers activities and topics that engage students in critical study and enjoyment of 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and throughout the world, embracing their different aspects, genres, components, structures, settings, and traditions. Meanwhile, poetry, like other genres of literature, is written to communicate ideas, convey emotions, and generate imagery. Poets select words based on their meaning and acoustics The purpose of this study was to assess and determine the relationship between figurative language competence and poetry writing skills of Senior High School (SHS) students. The study's respondents were fifty (50) randomly selected grade 11 students who had recently completed the SHS core subject 21st Century Literature from the Philippines and the World. Based on the results gathered, the following was therefore brought to conclusion: 1) students' figurative language competence is at the average level which signifies that they have knowledge about figurative language competence but there are still several sorts of figurative language that students should be more aware of; 2) students' poetry writing skills are high that signifies that they do good poems, and, 3) being a good poet does not always mean that he/she is a figurative language competent as well. One must be able to write poems following its structure and some of its elements because figurative language competence is not the sole determinant in writing or making poetry. Therefore, schools may still promote the teaching of figurative language in poetry for the students to write better poems and future researchers may explore the relationship between the students' poetry writing process and their poetry writing skills.

“…Lectures appeared in the practice of teaching in ancient Greece and other ancient states, then they received wide circulation in medieval universities and retained their leading role in higher education up to the present day (FMT, 2018). It is important to note that for several hundred years the auditory method of information transmission dominated at lectures (Kostelnik et al, 2004;Yazdanjoo and Fallahpour, 2018). As it is shown in learning theory, lecture is now one of the main forms of providing educational services at universities.…”

The aim of this study is to examine the lecture method preferences of Ukrainian consumers of educational services. The study has observed two popular methods of providing educational services: the auditory method and the visual method. Research methodology included: information research; questioning and statistical processing of questionnaires; graphical representation of results and verification of statistical hypotheses. The sampling included two groups of students and one group of school teachers. It was statistically proved that Ukrainian students prefer the visual method of lectures but not the auditory method in availing educational services. Since the results are strongly significant, they have a great practical importance, recommending university teachers to use visual methods of lectures more than auditory while providing educational services. This will help them to adapt their lecture form and technique according to the needs and preferences of students as consumers of educational services. In addition, the results will also be useful to design and formulate training programs for teachers of Ukrainian Universities and making policy design for the Ukrainian Higher Education.
