title: Foreigners’ perceptions of communication strategies used by Thais when speaking English

description: The present study places value on investigating the frequency of CSs used by Thais and comprehension of CSs used by Thais in the foreigners’ perspectives. The study also aimed to explore the differences in the intercultural communication barriers and perception of communication strategies used by Thais between foreigners who have higher background knowledge and foreigners who have lower background knowledge about Thai culture.The participants of the study were 200 foreigners (n = 200) who had experiences in communicating in English with Thai people. The results found that the top three strategies that Thais mostly used with foreigners were foreignizing, repetition, and circumlocution strategies respectively. Additionally, the top three strategies that foreigners mostly understood were mime, followed by circumlocution, and retrieval strategies. Moreover, foreigners who have higher background knowledge about Thai culture (n = 86) and foreigners who have lower background knowledge about Thai culture (n = 61) significantly differ in their perception of CSs used by Thais including frequency use and comprehension. However, regarding intercultural communication barriers, the result indicated no difference between the two groups.The findings of the research study are very beneficial not only for foreigners who visit Thailand but also for all foreigners who visit foreign countries in order for them to study the foreign culture and increase the level of perception. Additionally, Thais should aware of the use of communication strategies and practice more English because doing so can reduce the cause of the misunderstanding.

title: A corpus-based study of English synonyms: appropriate, proper, and suitable

description: This study investigates three English synonyms, i.e. appropriate, proper, and suitable, concentrating on meanings, degrees of formality, collocations, and grammatical patterns.  The sources of data used in this study are 1) three dictionaries, i.e. Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English 6th edition (2014), Longman Advanced American Dictionary 3rd edition (2013), and Macmillan Collocations Dictionary (2010), and 2) the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). It was discovered that the three synonyms share the same core meaning, but still differ in terms of detailed meanings, degrees of formality, collocations, and grammatical patterns. For this reason, the three words cannot be used interchangeably in all contexts.  In addition, it was found that the corpus provides some data which is non-existent in the three dictionaries.

title: The use of Thai EFL postgraduates' lexical inferencing strategies through the think-aloud method

description: The study aims at investigating the lexical inferencing strategies and frequency of each strategy that Thai EFL postgraduates employed when encountering with unknown or unfamiliar words while reading. Moreover, it proposes to explore the differences in lexical inferencing strategy use and the rate of success between two groups of participants with different English proficiency levels.Twelve postgraduates participating in this study were asked to read and verbalize their thoughts in order to guess the unknown word meanings while reading. The collected data were qualitatively classified into lexical inferencing strategies framework according to Nylander (2014). In addition, the frequencies of each lexical inferencing strategies use and inferential success were quantitatively counted.The research findings revealed that Thai EFL postgraduates dealt with unknown words while reading using their linguistic, non-linguistic knowledge sources, and some of additional types of responses. The most frequently used strategy by all participants was sentence meaning under intralingual knowledge sources. Comparing the use between the two groups of participants with different proficiency levels, it was found that the low proficiency group mostly relied on sentence meaning while the high proficiency group preferred addressing additional types of responses. However, there was a significant difference with respect to the frequency of using intralingual knowledge sources between the low and the high proficiency level groups (p = 0.038). With regard to inferencing success, the findings showed that participants failed to obtain the meaning of unknown words more than half of the time.

title: An investigation of reading attitudes, motivation and reading anxiety of undergraduate students

description: Reading is a basic skill for all levels of academic requirement leading to good opportunities in learning and work. This research studied reading skills in English in terms of three aspects in order to investigate reading attitudes, reading motivation, and reading anxiety of first-year undergraduate students. Adopting a quantitative approach, the study used Erten’s (2010) Foreign language reading attitudes and motivation scale (FLRAMS) and Saito’s (1999) foreign language reading anxiety scale (FLRAS) as research instruments to survey the participants.Convenience sampling was used in the study. Participants were 494 first-year undergraduate students at one public university in Thailand enrolled in a communication skill in English course. The participants were 124 males and 370 females who had different majors both science major and non-science. The language proficiency of the participants was another factor used to find the differences among group levels.The findings in this study revealed that there was a significant negative correlation between the participants’ reading attitudes and motivation, and reading anxiety. Moreover, the results showed a significant difference between science major and non-science major students in foreign language reading attitudes, motivation and reading anxiety. Another result showed a significant difference between language proficiency levels in foreign language reading attitudes, motivation and reading anxiety.It can be concluded that there were differences between science major, and non-science major students. Moreover, there were differences among the language proficiency levels of students. The pedagogical implications in this study regarded usefulness for instructors and lecturers in terms of understanding students’ differences in reading attitudes, reading motivation, and reading anxiety in order to manage content and styles in teaching when they teach various students in reading English because each group of students are different. The theoretical implications concerned researchers developing new models of foreign language reading attitudes and motivation (FLRAMS) and foreign language reading anxiety (FLRAS) because this study found a correlation between these two models.

title: An analysis of the use of English with political correctness: a case study of graduate students in Thailand

description: This study aimed to examine the use of English with political correctness of master’s degree students in a university in Bangkok, Thailand and to identify their attitudes and opinions towards the use of English with political correctness.The subjects of this study were 100 master’s degree students from a university in Bangkok, Thailand from different backgrounds who had been exposed to English language for a significant period of time. They were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of a test on the use of politically correct English vocabulary and terms and a survey of their opinions and attitudes towards the use of English with political correctness. Moreover, five of the respondents were interviewed in order to gain deeper information about their attitudes.The findings revealed that master’s degree students in a university in Bangkok, Thailand are able to use certain politically correct words and terms correctly. However, the correctness depends on the familiarity of the respondents regardless of the categories of politically correct language. Likewise, respondents have positive attitudes toward the use of politically correct language and they considered this type of language as a formal and respectful language. Accordingly, their opinions showed that English with political correctness should be implemented in workplaces and certain fields. They also agreed with the importance of politically correct language and suggested that the limitations of English with political correctness are that it is unclear and there is no institution or academic initiative to standardize the use of English with political correctness, which is sometimes overused. The findings could be used as essential information to develop the use of English with political correctness in society, objectify politically correct language, and promote the importance of politically correct language, which is viewed as formal and respectful language that can reduce conflicts in international communications.

title: The study of ideological bias through collocations in Syrian conflict news from CNN and Russia Today news outlets

description: Bias in news writing is known to distort readers’ perception towards theactual situation. Readers are suggested to engage in critical reading to detect the bias.However, it is not an easy skill since sometimes bias is not introduced to the storyexplicitly. The present research applied a multi-disciplinary approach: IdeologicalSquare Positive self- presentation and negative other- presentation (van Dijk, 1993)and corpus linguistics to detect bias in Syrian conflict news from CNN and RussiaToday. Two news corpora extracted collocations reflecting ideological views ongroup relations between U.S. and Russia. Additionally, the study investigated howideologies are carried through syntax, semantics and pragmatics which explain theways writers use language to introduce bias to a news story. The results reveal thatboth news outlets introduced bias by reporting imbalanced viewpoints according toideological square. News writers also applied various linguistic tools such aspresuppositions, active and passive voice and lexical choice to carry the ideologies.Future research might apply this multidisciplinary approach in other text types.

title: Professional development for overseas teachers: a study of a mentoring programme in a bilingual school in Bangkok

description: Mentoring is a developmental process that can help teachers be retained. Mentoring programmes are set up to provide support for teachers (mentees) who lack adequate experience and need guidance from experienced teachers (mentors) to enhance their career-related skills.This survey investigated the effectiveness of a mentoring programme in a bilingual school in Bangkok. This programme supports both new teachers and current teachers to make sure that they follow professional standards. Forty-five overseas teachers, who were the main participants in this study, responded to a questionnaire about the effectiveness of a training programme in terms of instruction, social support and professionalism. The findings of the study revealed that both mentors and mentees agree that the programme is very useful in promoting their pedagogical and professional skills.

title: An investigation of students’ opinions on factors that help improve their English learning performance: a study of a secondary school in Bangkok

description: ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research was to study the opinions of M.4 students from a secondary school in Bangkok, in the academic year 2016 about the various factors that help improve their English learning performance.The subjects of the study were 100 M.4 students from various classes. For the research instrument, a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was administered, distributed and collected by the school’s director. The data was analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation.The results of the study revealed that the respondents’ mostly agreed that all the factors (motivation, classroom participation, family support, teacher and English media) help improve their English learning in general. The level of agreement ranged from high to neutral. Most of the respondents emphasized their future career as the main factor that motivated them to study English. While respondents thought a lot about their future careers, they did not seem to think that homework and extra English courses help improve their English.

title: Students’ opinions toward teaching styles of NESTs and non-NESTs at a public university in Thailand

description: The demand of studying English in Thailand has increased significantly in recent years relative to the past, which has led to an increase in the number of both native-English speaking teachers (NESTs) and non-native English speaking teachers (non-NESTs) in Thailand.  To satisfy such demand, teachers have been coming to Thailand from a variety of language backgrounds and cultures.  Such diversity in backgrounds is likely to result in differences in teaching styles.  Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether Thai university students believed there were any major differences or similarities in teaching style for NESTs and Non-NESTs. A total of 140 Thai first year undergraduates from a public university in Thailand volunteered to take part in the study (70 in the NEST group, 70 in the non-NEST group).   Opinions were elicited via a 25-item questionnaire based on a modified version of the Perceived Teaching Behaviors Scale (PTBS; Ma, 2012).  The findings revealed that participants in the NEST and non-NEST group generally agreed with most items, though some interesting differences in teaching style were obtained. NESTs were rated at significantly higher levels of agreement on items concerning lesson creation, motivation, providing cultural information, confidence in using English, pronunciation, use of English in class, improving language skills, variety in material use, organizing pair and group work, and providing perfect models of English. By contrast, Non-NESTs rated higher on items concerning reliance on textbooks, assigning homework, and focusing on preparation for examinations. The implications for teachers, students, and institutions are discussed.

title: Htr Dataset Icfhr 2016

description: This dataset arises from the READ project (Horizon 2020).

The dataset consists of a subset of documents from the Ratsprotokolle collection composed of minutes of the council meetings held from 1470 to 1805 (about 30.000 pages), which will be used in the READ project. This dataset is written in Early Modern German. The number of writers is unknown. Handwriting in this collection is complex enough to challenge the HTR software.

The training dataset is composed of 400 pages; most of the pages consist of a single block with many difficulties for line detection and extraction. The ground-truth in this set is in PAGE format and it is provided annotated at line level in the PAGE files.

The previous dataset is the same that is located at https://zenodo.org/record/218236#.WnLhaCHhBGF

The new file includes the test set corresponding to the HTR competition held at ICFHR 2016

title: Parkes observations for project P958 semester 2018APRS_04

description: A major breakthrough in fast radio burst (FRB) astronomy was recently made when the repeating FRB 121102 was localized to sub-arcsecond precision. The bursts were found to originate in a bright radio nebula (hypothesized to be a young supernova remnant or pulsar wind nebulae) in a distant dwarf galaxy. These dwarf galaxies are also preferential hosts to superluminous supernova and long gamma-ray bursts, and it has been therefore suggested that the source of the repeating FRB could be a young highly magnetised neutron star. While an understanding of the repeating FRB is emerging, it is still unclear what relationship it has to the rest of the population.   Over the next six months, searches with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) are poised to detect at least 20 additional FRBs, some that will be localized to a few arcseconds.   Here we propose to search this population for repeats.  Our comprehensive sample and a dense monitoring campaign of well localised bursts, at a fluence limit more than 60 times lower than that of their detections, will either confirm the presence of additional repeating FRBs or the uniqueness of FRB 121102 amongst the population.
