This study, which was conducted as part of the final thesis in the master's degree program in English didactics, attempted to measure the effects of Competitive Team-Based Learning (CTBL), developed by Hosseini (2000, 2020 & 2021) at Mashhad Education Office in Iran, vis-à-vis Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD), developed by Slavin and associates (1977) at Johns Hopkins University in the U.S., on the reading comprehension of Iranian EFL intermediate students. As an emerging innovative Cooperative Learning (CL) oriented approach, CTBL accentuates systematic implementation of teamwork in competitive environments with a democratic ambiance. The findings of some researchers on the effectiveness of this revolutionary approach to language teaching/Education have been brought to the fore for the benefit of those interested. Sixty students were selected out of 75 based on their scores in a PET reading test. Then they were randomly assigned to two groups: control and experimental. Each group consisted of thirty participants, which were divided into seven teams of four – the two remained students in each class worked in pairs. While the control group was instructed via STAD method of CL, the experimental group was instructed via Hosseini's approach to (language) teaching (i.e., CTBL). The reading comprehension test (posttest) was used at the end of the study to assess the probable progress in the reading comprehension ability of the students. The results on an independent T-test showed statistical significance at P≤0.05 level that can be attributed to the effect of CTBL on the participants' reading comprehension achievement. Probable reasons for the success of CTBL have been elaborated at length. Implications of the study as well as some suggestions to language teachers, syllabus designers, methodologies, and researchers have also found a place at the end of this paper.

Laos Training Event for Awareness of Melioidosis (L-TEAM) From 1-3 October 2019, BTRP will host the Laos Training Event for Awareness of Melioidosis (L-TEAM), and www.melioidosis.info host all open-access training materials for people who are interested. They are both in English and in Lao. The DTRA BTRP-sponsored Threat Reduction Network (TRN) for melioidosis research convenes meetings, workshops, and other training events with the aim of improving clinical and laboratory melioidosis awareness and diagnostic and treatment aptitude. Since the inception of the melioidosis TRN, BTRP has supported (1) a threat characterization discussion in Bangkok, Thailand in February 2016; (2) a strategy mapping session in Cebu, Philippines in August 2016; and the Cambodia Training Event for Awareness of Melioidosis (C-TEAM) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in October 2017. The Laos Training Event for Awareness of Melioidosis (L-TEAM) is the first step in bringing similar meetings and training events in Laos. In January 2019 BTRP hosted a planning meeting L-TEAM with representatives from the Laos Ministry of Health, Military Preventative Medicine Institute, Khammouane Provincial Hospital, Lao-Oxford-Mahosot Hospital-Wellcome Trust Research Unit, French Institute of Research for Sustainable Development, and International Water Management Institute. Meeting participants agreed unanimously that building awareness for melioidosis should be a national priority.

Coping with stress has been primarily investigated as an individual-level phenomenon. In work settings, however, an individual's exposure to demands is often shared with co-workers, and the process of dealing with these demands takes place in the interaction with them. Coping, therefore, may be conceptualized as a multilevel construct. This paper introduces the team coping concept and shows that including coping as a higher-level team property may help explain individual-level outcomes. Specifically, we investigated the effects of exposure to danger during deployment on burnout symptoms in military service members and examined to what extent this relationship was moderated by individual-level and team-level functional coping. We hypothesized that the relationship between individuals' exposure to danger and burnout is contingent on both. In line with our predictions, we found that service members who were highly exposed to danger, and did not engage in much functional coping, suffered most from burnout symptoms, but only when their teammates did not engage in much functional coping either. When their teammates did engage in much functional coping, the effect of exposure to danger on burnout was buffered. Hence, team members' coping efforts functioned as a resilience resource for these service members.
