title: A comparison of rhetorical move structure of research article abstracts of Thai Scopus journals and top-ranked Scopus journals in applied linguistics and English language teaching

description: The primary objective of this study is to investigate rhetorical move structure evident in the abstracts of research articles published in both Thai Scopus journals and top-ranked Scopus journals focusing on Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching. A total of ninety abstracts were scrutinized, evenly divided into two distinct corpora: 45 abstracts sourced from Thai Scopus journals and another 45 abstracts obtained from the top-ranked Scopus journals in the respective fields. The analysis was based on Hyland's (2000) five-move model. The analysis revealed insights into the prevalent move patterns within these distinct corpora. Within the Thai Scopus journals, a substantial 40.00% of the selected abstracts followed the I-P-M-Pr-C pattern. Conversely, in the top-ranked Scopus journals, the most prevalent pattern encompassed P-M-Pr-C, accounting for 33.00% of the research article abstracts. Based on the classification system proposed by Kanoksilapatham (2005), the analysis of research article abstracts in Thai Scopus journals reveals varied occurrence percentages for rhetorical moves: Introduction is optional while the Conclusion, Purpose, Method are conventional, and Product is obligatory. In top-ranked Scopus journals, similar trends are observed: Product is obligatory, while Purpose, Method, and Conclusion are conventional. This study's findings hold significant implications as they offer a comprehensive and practical understanding of the structural patterns observed in research article abstracts from both corpora. Such insights can be instrumental in educational settings, providing guidance for instructing students on the effective construction of research article abstracts.

title: Development of argumentative essay writing through flipped classroom instruction by using EdPuzzle application

description: This study examined the achievement of Thai12th grade EFL students in writing argumentative essays and their perspectives on the utilization of flipped classroom instruction with the EdPuzzle program. Thirty participants from Samut Prakan Province were selected using convenience sampling. Before receiving instruction through this method, they completed a pretest. During the lessons, the participants' progress in argumentative essay writing was monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy. Following the instruction, posttests and questionnaires were administered as research instruments to assess students' writing development and their attitudes toward learning. A scoring system was used to evaluate all four aspects (claim, reason, rebuttal, and organization) of the participants' argumentative essay tasks. The findings revealed a significant increase (t=14.39; P=0.00; df=29) in post-test mean scores (X=16.67) for argumentative essay writing. The mean score for all dimensions in the pretest was 1.88 with an average standard deviation (S.D.) of 0.76, while in the posttest, the mean score was 4.15 with an average S.D. of 0.45. Qualitative data collected and analyzed included students' learning attitudes, which were predominantly classified as “very positive” (X=4.93). Most students expressed satisfaction with the flipped classroom instruction using the EdPuzzle application, noting its convenience and ability to offer flexible study periods, thereby enhancing their learning experience.

title: A needs analysis of English for archery instructors

description: This research study aimed to study needs analysis of Thai archery instructors. The needs analysis was conducted using questionnaires consisting of close-ended and open-ended questions. There were 35 participants who were considered as stakeholders which were Thai archery instructors, foreign learners, and archery club owners. The participants were selected based on the purposive sampling technique in order to conduct needs analysis. The results showed that the archery instructors needed an ESP course to improve their oral and written communication with foreign learners who were also considered as customers. An English course could be designed further to improve their English skills based on archery matters and customer service.Keywords: ESP, Needs Analysis, Archery

title: A corpus-based analysis of English synonymous verbs: help, aid, and assist

description: The study investigates three synonymous verbs help, aid, and assist, focusing on the similarities and the differences in their senses of meaning, degrees of formality, and collocations in relation to semantic preference. The online version of the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE) and Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (OALD) were used, along with the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) for comparation analyses. The results revealed that the three synonymous verbs share the same core meaning; however, their senses of meaning differ slightly. In terms of the degree of formality, help is frequently used in informal contexts, while aid and assist are more common in formal contexts. Regarding the noun and adverb collocations, the top-20 frequency lists with an MI score ≥ 3 were classified according to their semantic preference. It was discovered that aid and assist share some noun collocations, whereas help does not share any noun collocations with them. While there are no shared adverb collocations among the three target verbs, help and aid share three collocates, and aid and assist have six shared adverb collocations. Notably, these target synonyms are considered near-synonyms; although they have similar meanings, they cannot be used interchangeably in all contexts. This corpus-based study offers valuable lexical insights into synonyms and carries significant pedagogical implications. Because a corpus can offer deeper insights into synonyms than traditional dictionaries, it may encourage English teachers and learners to use corpora as a complementary resource alongside dictionaries.

title: An investigation of English speaking anxiety and attitude in English learning produced by high school students

description: This study explored speaking anxiety and attitudes towards speaking English in the classroom setting. The data were collected from 91 Thai EFL grade 11 students, using questionnaires, classroom observations, and paired semi-structured interviews. The findings showed moderate levels of speaking anxiety and attitudes among grade 11 students. The Pearson correlation coefficient reported there was a statistically significant moderate negative correlation between speaking anxiety and attitudes. Regarding the study program, English-Japanese students exhibited a strong negative correlation. This suggested that students who experienced lower level of anxiety tended to have more positive attitudes towards speaking English in the classroom. Besides, qualitative data identified learner characteristics and classroom environment as two main factors affecting speaking anxiety. To cope with speaking anxiety, grade 11 students employed six strategies: self-practice, maintaining concentration, building confidence, managing emotions, positive thinking, and seeking support from friends. Among these, self-practice was the most commonly used strategy.

title: A corpus-based study of the near-synonyms: beautiful, attractive, and gorgeous

description: This corpus-based study aims to investigate three near-synonyms—beautiful, attractive, and gorgeous—regarding their distribution across genres and their noun and adverb collocations in relation to semantic preference. Data were drawn from two well-known online dictionaries and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). The findings reveal that "beautiful" and "gorgeous" predominantly occur in spoken genres (e.g., TV and movie, subtitles, fiction, and spoken), while "attractive" is more prevalent in written genres (e.g., magazines and blogs). Interestingly, the analysis demonstrated that while all three adjectives shared some noun collocates and semantic preferences related to humans and settings, "attractive" had broader usage, extending into business fields. The similarities and differences in meanings and semantic fields suggest that they are more accurately classified as near-synonyms, which are not entirely interchangeable. The comprehensive investigation provides valuable insights for EFL instruction, emphasizing the importance of utilizing multiple resources to discern subtle differences among near-synonyms and promote their effective use in communication.

title: A corpus-based analysis of descriptions advertising properties on Airbnb

description: Airbnb descriptions are important sources of information for customers when deciding whether to book a property, while less is understood about the format and writing style employed in these descriptions. The purpose of this study is to look into the rhetorical moves in Airbnb property advertising descriptions. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate the most regularly used three-word lexical bundles in this genre. The main purposes of this study are to gain a better knowledge of how property advertising descriptions are written on Airbnb, conduct linguistic analysis, and investigate the multiple communication functions used in the discourse. The corpus for this study consists of 30 descriptions collected from www.airbnb.com in 2023. Each description ranges from 300 to 1,200 words per property and is especially focused on places in the United Kingdom and five European countries with five-star guest ratings and the amazing view category. To examine the data on rhetorical moves, the framework proposed by Van der Vliet and Redeker (2014) has been employed. AntConc was used to identify the most frequently occurring three-word lexical bundles, which included the first two pronouns found in the corpus. The results of the study reveal that Moves 1 and 3 are the most commonly used moves in Airbnb property descriptions, with Move 2 coming in second. Moves 6 are presented in the corpus in the following order, while Moves 5 and 9 are rarely employed. However, moves 4, 7, and 8 are not used in Airbnb property descriptions.

title: A corpus-based study of adjective synonyms: funny, humorous and hilarious

description: This study examines the similarities and differences of three adjective synonyms—funny, humorous and hilarious—based on two criteria, which are degree of formality and collocations. The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English was used for extracting meanings and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) for gathering information across the eight genres. It was found that all the three words tend to be used in informal contexts and therefore have a low degree of formality. As for their collocations, it is found that all three words share some common nouns and adverbs, but they also possess some collocates that are unique to themselves. Thus, they cannot be used in all circumstances in the same way.

title: A study of factors contributing to speaking anxiety and anxiety reduction techniques in Thai adult EFL learners

description: It has become increasingly apparent that proficiency in English communication plays a role for Thai adults in a professional context. To advance effectively in professional settings, many companies provide English courses for their employees to enhance their communication skills. However, learners often develop anxiety within the classroom context due to various factors (Namsang, 2011; Akkakoson, 2016; Hutabarat, 2019) and employ different techniques to reduce this anxiety (Kondo and Yang, 2004; Fuiji, 2017). The aim of the study was to identify the factors that contribute to speaking anxiety in Thai adult EFL learners and to discover the anxiety reduction techniques used by these learners. The results showed that contributors to speaking anxiety among participants can be categorized into internal and external factors. Internally, a learner’s personality traits, such as self-inferiority, fear of making mistakes, lack of confidence, and their level of proficiency — including limited vocabulary knowledge, grammatical inaccuracies, improper pronunciation, lack of skill in scriptwriting, and difficulty in articulating thoughts concisely — were major sources of anxiety. Externally, classroom activities, such as public speaking, fill-in-the blank and discussion activities, unclear explanations from teachers, and time constraints, also contributed to learners’ anxiety. This study also showed that learners employed various techniques to reduce their anxiety, which included preparation, relaxation, positive thinking, peer thinking and task-focus. This underscores the importance for teachers and companies to provide a learning environment appropriate for adult EFL learners and to equip them with tools to create an atmosphere that is less anxiety-inducing.

title: A corpus-based study of English synonyms: rich, wealthy, and affluent

description: The study investigated three adjective synonyms in English, namely rich, wealthy, and affluent concentrating on two criteria: degree of formality and noun and adverb collocation with semantic preference. Two online dictionaries (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English and Merriam-Webster Dictionary) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) were employed to explore the similarities and differences among the synonyms. The results indicated that based on their frequency of use across eight different genres, ‘affluent’ is the most formal followed by ‘wealthy’ and ‘rich’, respectively. Regarding the collocation and semantic preference, not all synonyms co-occur with the same words and they have unequal and distinct semantic categories. In terms of noun collocation, ‘rich’ and ‘wealthy’ are frequently used to describe people, occupations and money. ‘Wealthy’ and ‘affluent’ are also used to modify nouns about people and locations. Only ‘rich’ is found to explain nouns related to food, facts, and events. With regard to the adverb collocation, ‘rich’ and ‘wealthy’ are used when referring to the wealth related to emotional issues. ‘Wealthy’ and ‘affluent’ are used to express the wealth modified by adverbs which are related to the great size. Only ‘rich’ is applied when referring to the importance and abundance in terms of academic and specific disciplines or fields. This study suggested that the synonymous adjectives ‘rich’, ‘wealthy’, and ‘affluent’ are near- synonyms; therefore, they cannot be substituted in every context.

title: A corpus-based of near synonym: trip, journey, and voyage

description: The purpose of this corpus-based study is to improve comprehension of the contextual usage of the near-synonyms "trip," "journey," and "voyage" by examining the subtle differences between them. This study examines at the frequencies, distribution patterns, and collocational behaviors of these terms by comparing definitions and uses from the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary (OALD) and the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE) and analyzing data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). The procedure entails gathering information on the distribution and frequency of the target synonyms in eight different genres: academic, spoken, fiction, magazines, newspapers, website, blogs, and TV/movie subtitles. This includes examining the Mutual Information (MI) scores to determine common collocates. The results show that, whereas these words are frequently regarded as interchangeable, they have significant preferences in different genres and circumstances. "Trip" is primarily employed in informal and ordinary circumstances, but "journey" and "voyage" are more commonly used in formal and literary literature. The study identifies the specific verb and adjective collocates associated with each phrase, emphasizing their distinct semantic and pragmatic features. This study contributes to the field of applied linguistics by providing a thorough examination of the minor distinctions between near-synonyms, with practical implications for English language learners and educators seeking to optimize word choice for effective communication.
