Assessment is concerned with the quality of teaching as well as the quality of learning. The relationship of teaching, learning and assessment practices would support in deciding what can or cannot be achieved in a particular educational environment. Test plays a vital role in the teaching and learning environment. It can effectively be used as a valuable teaching device. Both teaching and testing are so closely interrelated that it is impossible to work in either field without being constantly concerned with the other. Tests can be taken on an additional role of assessing students’ proficiency. Better teaching techniques are also considered to increase the proficiency of students in a school year. Therefore, teachers always try to modify their teaching methods with motivating activities that can arouse students’ interests in language learning and assess their language performance.

In this context, the students from University of Computer Studies, Yangon, need training to apply efficiently their soft skills as well as hard skills. They are expected to construct the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) if they realise the contrast of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience before they hunt job in the real world. It means that before completing their Bachelor Degree, the university makes the internship program for them. Students are sent to the industries or companies and they are really engaged to the business fields or workplace. On this occasion, the engaged learning programme, as a theoretical background, is required not only for the students but for the faculty members of the university who involves teaching-learning situation. For language teachers especially those who are teaching English need to change their curriculum in order to meet the current situation. In previous semesters, the IELTS was prescribed starting from the first year level to the final year level, but since 2016- 17 academic year, the 21st century communication skills have been conducted in the final year. It can be found that students become interested in communication skills and they also motivate in their English language learning. Communicative Language Teaching method has been used to teach authentic texts and to converse about learners' personal experiences. Students are grouped in discussion and debates, which promotes their four skills. The students can also utilize the communication skills in their report writing and project after they complete intern programme. The aim of this paper is to enhance the students’ performance by developing curriculum that can support in their learning and provide real needs. In other words, by means of engaged learning and intern programme, the capacity of human resources can be effectively built and it can be said that curriculum development is associated with the development of a society, a community, or a country.

They have technical difficulties associated with using them in the language classroom. However, these days, language teachers recognize the potential of the video films as a language teaching aid. They take advantage of the video films for teaching all four skills. The content of the film provides the opportunities for language practice. Moreover, language can be used to explore the content. In Myanmar, where English as a foreign language is actively used only in the classroom, video films offer excellent language exposure to students outside the classroom. Videos make language learning enjoyable and fun. They motivate both the students and the teachers. The presenter explores the possibilities of utilizing the video clips for language teaching at tertiary level. Several video clips are selected and the content-based approach is used to teach first year students at the University of Computer Studies, Panglong. The video clips are used not only to teach language but also to release it from the students repertoire. The tasks are carefully planned beforehand and the students’ knowledge of the vocabulary and topic are checked. Several tasks such as video review, alternative ending, and summary writing are given. It is found that although there are some obstacles to surmount, video clips are a welcome addition to the repertoire of language teaching aids.

The SDN is more flexible and programmable than the traditional network. The one of the important usages of SDN is the server load balancing strategy. The load on the servers is increasing as day by day with the internet usage. Therefore, there is a need to balance these load on servers in order to provide efficient services to end users without any delay. In our proposed system, Random, Round Robin and Weighted Round Robin load balancing strategies are implemented using an OpenFlow switch connected to a POX controller that are based on python in SDN Fri, 01 Mar 2019 00:00:00 GMT https://onlineresource.ucsy.edu.mm/handle/123456789/2327 2019-03-01T00:00:00Z
