Abstract: Hypericum L. is the genus of flowering plants in the family Hypericaceae. The genus comprises almost 500 species of small shrubs and herbs, which has a worldwide distribution, with representatives in nearly every continent, being only absent from the poles, deserts and low-altitude tropical areas. Nowadays the largest diversity in the genus is found in the Eurasia and North America, but it is also abundant in high-altitude tropical areas of the Southern Hemisphere. Species of Hypericum do not grow the habitats that are extremely hot, cold or dry. Species of this genus grow on damp soils, meadows, swamps and even just in small water, at the region of lakes and the rivers (Hypericum eloides L.). Species meet in the foothill sand high lands, coming in to the Alpine belt.

Abstract: This quasi-experimental study probed the effects of implementing SL on paragraph writing skills in terms of content, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. The participants of the study were grade 11 students at Yekatit 12 Preparatory School, Ethiopia. The experimental group was taught paragraph writing skills in line with the principles of SL. The control group was taught similar paragraph writing skills through the traditional method in which SL was not effectively implemented. Pre- and post-tests were used on paragraph writing tasks. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. In addition, the selected participants from the experimental group were interviewed. Their responses were recorded and analyzed qualitatively to learn their feelings about the effects of implementing SL in an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) class. The results of the study after the intervention indicated that the experimental group significantly outscored the control group (p<0.05) on a paragraph writing post-test with regard to content, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. The focus group discussion results also showed that the experimental group participants preferred to use an appropriate implementation of SL than the traditional implementation of SL. Finally, it was concluded that implementing SL in an EFL class helped the experimental group participants compose better paragraphs in terms of content, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. On the basis of the findings and conclusions, a painstaking employment of social skills during paragraph writing stages was suggested as a pedagogical implication.
