DONATA RIBIKAUSKAITĖ
In this particular work, physical activity, mental health and anthropometric data of women with overweight have been investigated by means of theoretical analysis.
It allowed us to raise an hypothesis that application of physical education programs will decrease both, overweight and anthropometric measurements. In addition to this, applicable physical activity will improve life quality, mental health as well as anthropometric data of the affected women.
At the first part of the research, a survey has been performed. Using the method of questionnaire, a research has been carried out. Its major goal was to investigate physical activity and mental health of overweight women at the beginning of the research, just before starting to apply the anticipated program.
At the second stage of the research, a group of attendees have been organized. The data of questionnaires, anthropometry and body composition were analyzed. Additional (repetitive) questionnaires were carried out after the research. Statistical data analysis has been performed.
In the empirical part of the work, the connection between physical activity and anthropometry has been investigated.
The most important conclusions of the empirical research would be as follows:
1. The research revealed that by applying physical education program, body mass index of women with overweight has decreased.
2. Applying physical education program, life quality, as well as mental health of overweight women, improved.
3. Comparing physical activity of the overweight women before and after the research, it was identified that their physical activity has considerably increased. As a consequence, their mental health, as well as overall life quality, were improved.
SOCIAL SKILLS OF ADOLESCENTS WITH BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS: REVIEW OF RESEARCHES
PhD ŠARŪNAS ŠNIRAS, GIEDRĖ STARKEVIČIŪTĖ
In this article we analyze social skills of adolescents with behavioural problems. We view the studies of Lithuania and foreign researchers. Social skills analyze of adolescents with behavioural problems helps to understand the importance of these skills, the peculiarity of its training. On purpose to secure wellbeing of adolescents with behavioural problems, it is necessary understand the revelation of this problem, the largeness of this phenomenon, what helps to make a possibility to control. Social skills – sequence of verbal and non-verbal behavioural, associates with ability to accommodate in the society and treat positively, associated with ability to ménage the quotidian problems (Gudžinskienė, Barkauskaitė-Lukšienė, 2013).
The results of this research reveal that the number of adolescents with behavioural problems varied from 5 to 54% across counties (Undheim, Sund, 2010). The largeness of this phenomenon shows the importance of this and another studies about social skills of adolescents with behavioural problems.
Adolescents with behavior problems distinguish for aggressive and provocative behavior and behavior that violates others rights. Characteristics of these adolescents are: not adaptive behavior, despite, disaffirmation of authority, low frustrations tolerance, lack of responsibility, no capability to set the tasks and achieve its. Adolescents with behavior problems have less social skills. The lack of social skills is associates with negative outcomes in late life of adolescent: make the difficulties for adaptability, fighting for quotidian problems, achieving the goals, maintaining effective relationships, have influence for mental illness and are associate with youth criminality and rejection from the school.
This research estimated that the majority of foreign and Lithuania researchers analyze social skills of adolescents with mental disabilities, convicted or adolescents from at-risk families. The researches that analyze social skills of adolescents with behavioural problems are lacking. The research object is social skills of adolescents with behavioural problems. The aim of the research is analyze the social skills of adolescents with behavioural problems.

Aušra Spingytė, PhD Rima Jasnauskaitė
The article deals with the issue of teaching-learning new Eglish vocabulary for and by pupils of the school of general education. Pupils’ first encounter with a new word is very important as a new word must be properly presented and explained. It is very important for every foreign language teacher to use a variety of teaching methods and techniques that help pupils to learn as many words, develop ways of thinking, speaking and communication skills. Typically, vocabulary training begins with the presentation of the new word, demonstration and interpretation. In the school of general education, various methods can be used for both junior and senior pupils. It is important to determine which methods and tools can make it easier to memorize English words, to reveal the meaning of the words and help pupils use them in communication. This article answers the problem question what are the ways of teaching techniques applied by English teachers and the ways of learning new English vocabulary by pupils of different age groups at school and at home. The theoretical part of the article deals with the spectrum of ways of English vocabulary teaching-learning. The study applied quantitative research method: written survey questionnaire and the statistical analysis of the data. The study included 140 pupils in the 5th -12th form. Results of the study revealed a trend that younger pupils remember new English words easier. The easiest way to remember the meaning of new English words for both junior and senior pupils is video and audio recordings. In addition, both studied groups chose games, dialogues and informal tests as the best ways for drilling and testing new English vocabulary. Learning new English words in the classroom and at home is different – at home, students repeat new English vocabulary only occasionally, but usually repeats both pronunciation and spelling. The largest part of new English vocabulary learning process takes place in school. The main learning tools used at home are computer, Internet access and a work desk.
