This research aimed at developing a reliable scale to determine in-service language teachers’ perceptions about teaching pronunciation and contributing to the English Language Teaching (ELT) field. The participants of the study consisted of 132 English language instructors working in 42 secondary and high schools in the 2021 to 2022 academic year in North Cyprus. The conducted Exploratory Factor Analyses revealed that the scale consisted of five factors and 24 items. Besides that, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis results confirmed the 5-factor structure. Furthermore, it was proven that the whole scale and its sub-dimensions are highly reliable and suitable for the implementation in determining in-service language teachers’ perceptions of pronunciation teaching (χ²/ df = 1.314). It is believed that the newly developed scale would help researchers more reliably investigate perceptions of teaching pronunciation in various contexts.

Archery is a sport that requires high levels of attention and concentration. Yantra and Grid Card applications are utilized to help athletes focus on their mental processes, overcome mental barriers, and enhance their performance. This study aimed to examine the effects of Yantra and Grid Card applications on shooting performance in archery. An experimental design was employed in the research. The study was conducted with 59 athletes (n=34 female, n=25 male) affiliated with the Archery Federation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Participants were divided into two age categories: n=38 young athletes and n=21 junior athletes. The experimental group consisted of 25 athletes, while the control group included 34 athletes. The experimental group underwent Yantra and Grid Card exercises for eight weeks, whereas the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were collected using a Demographic Form and the official competition scores of the TRNC Archery Federation. Athletes' personal characteristics, such as gender and age category, as well as their shooting scores during competition periods, were analyzed. Shooting scores were measured at three different points: Week 1, Week 4, and Week 8. Data analysis involved frequency and percentage calculations, cross-tabulations, Pearson's chi-square analysis, and parametric tests. The results revealed a significant increase in the shooting performance of the experimental group from the first to the eighth week. This improvement was particularly significant among female athletes and specifically in the junior female category. The findings suggest that Yantra and Grid Card applications enhance shooting performance in archery. However, this improvement may vary depending on gender, age group, and time periods. Future research is recommended to involve diverse sample groups to further explore these effects.
