title: A corpus-based study of the representation of frequent social actors in anti-government protest news

description: The pro-democracy protest movement in Thailand in 2020 has generated considerable public interest. Media representations of protest movements contribute greatly to the perception of people towards any event or even persons. This explored the frequent social actors shared between the two sides of Thai press represented in Prachatai English Corpus (PCT) and Bangkok Post Corpus (BKP). All online news articles available were collected: the BKP corpus was composed of 363 news articles, and the PCT corpus contained 136 news articles. A collocational and concordance analysis of the frequent social actors—police, protester, student, and activist—were performed. The research employs Van Dijk’s (1998) ideological square to demonstrate the bias existing in media representations. The results revealed that both news agencies described police, protester, student, and activist differently. Police were regarded as violent actors in PCT, whereas the stance in BKP regarding police actions is less clear. The protesters were labelled as anti-government in BKP, in contrast to the portrayal by PCT, which viewed the movement as a struggle for democracy. The prominent group of student protesters was represented and personalized with their own titles in PCT as Bad Students, while in BKP Bad student was often used as an appositive. Activists were represented as a group calling for democratic principles, which applies to all movements, such as LGBT, especially in PCT, in line with the representation of the protest movement as a struggle for democracy.

title: Factors affecting Thai students’ willingness to communicate (WTC) in English with foreign teachers in a secondary school

description: Willingness to Communicate (WTC) is necessary for English language learning. A literature review demonstrated the relationship of a Second Language (L2) to communication in English. Although students in Thailand study English starting in elementary school, they remain unwilling to communicate with foreign teachers. The present study examines factors affecting Thai student willingness to communicate in English during conversation classes. Multiple factors affect learning WTC and identifying an initial WTC may be based on traits and circumstances of L2 learners. Therefore, this study investigated diverse significant factors for WTC among students in different programs and overall factors among participants in WTC. The participants were English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Mathayom three students from three study programs in a secondary school in Pathum Thani, Thailand. Data was collected using a Google Form questionnaire in Thai language and analyzed by mean and standard deviation from WTC proficiency in conversation classrooms. The instrument used in this study is a 5-point Likert Scale. The findings of this study revealed WTC of three study programs related to WTC factors which had lower linguistic factors such as L2 use and state Communicative Self -Confidence. They were strongly correlated. In addition to these findings, Self-Confidence had implications as a significant factor leading to student WTC in English classrooms. In particular, the students had affective and cognitive contexts about mistakes while speaking in English was a sign of learning. Moreover, they expressed the motivation of WTC was the interesting topic.

title: Request strategies and external modification devices used by Thai female ESL speakers in the workplace

description: This study aimed to investigate the request strategies and external modification devices used by 20 Thai female ESL speakers in the workplace and explore the effect of social variables, namely, power, social distance, and the ranking of imposition on the participants’ requests. The three request directness levels with nine sub-items and the main concept of external modification devices by Blum-Kulka et al. (1989) in the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP) were used to analyze the data from a written discourse completion task that consisted of 12 scenarios in different social variables.The results found that query preparatory at a conventionally indirect level was the most frequently used by Thai female ESL speakers and the politeness structure consisting of past modal form was also highly used. In terms of external modification devices, the participants used devices in about four-fifths of the responses. The grounder device was the most frequently used, followed by disarmer, apology, and alerter. The power of the hearer was the main effect on the use of the directness level by the participants since they tended to use the indirect requests when the power of the hearer was higher. Furthermore, when the ranking of imposition was great and the relationship was distant, the participants tended to use external modification devices for mitigating request imposition.Questionnaire and interview data reveal that the respondents learned how to make appropriate requests in English mainly from learning in classes and experiences. It can be concluded that the female participants were aware of politeness when making requests in the workplace. However, as these results emerged from WDCT, their request utterances in real life can be possibly different.

title: Intercultural communication challenges: a case study of multilingual workplaces in Thailand

description: This study aimed to investigate the intercultural communication challenges that the employees working in multilingual workplaces in Thailand faced as well as howthey overcame the challenges. A total of 40 employees consisting of 20 Thai employees and 20 foreign employees who worked in English tutorial schools in Thailand for more than a year and had high English proficiency were chosen as participants. The researchinstruments in this study were a self-assessment questionnaire and the semi-structured interview. The self-assessment questionnaire was adapted based on Byram’sIntercultural Communicative Competence model which concerned knowledge, skills, attitudes and cultural awareness. The self-assessment questionnaire was used for the purpose of exploring the intercultural communication challenges and the semistructuredinterview was also employed in order to investigate the intercultural communication challenges as well as how to overcome the challenges for in-depth information. The data from the questionnaire was analyzed through SPSS program for descriptive statistics in mean score, standard deviation ( S.D.) and percentage. The conceptual content analysis was also employed to analyze the data from the semistructured interview. The findings showed that the intercultural communicative competence (ICC)was necessary in language teaching and conducting educational assessments. From five dimensions of Byram’s ICC model, the employees were highly competent in critical cultural awareness the most (x̄ = 4.47), followed by skills of discovery and interaction(x̄ = 4.45). The skills of interpreting and relating were also demonstrated as high (x̄ = 4.41), followed by having positive attitudes towards multicultural people (x̄ = 4.28) and knowledge on cultural differences (x̄ = 4.05) accordingly. Thus, the knowledge of ICC was considered the area where the employees lacked, which resulted in the occurrence of challenges in their workplace. The findings from the interview revealed that the employees found it challenging to simplify the language used in the workplace, especially in classrooms with various students. With the aim of overcoming challenges, the employees were required to develop this unconscious knowledge of ICC by observing students’ reactions before responding and simply asking their colleagues who dealt or had experience with teaching various groups of students before. Another challenge found was specifically happened when employees had to provide feedbackto students as students’ perceptions towards receiving constructive feedback were different due to the differences in cultures. This challenge was due to the insufficiency of ICC conscious knowledge and could be overcome by doing research or self-study on cultural differences in order to best select the appropriate communication styles that match individuals. The employees were also suggested to be more open-minded and adaptive to different intercultural contexts in order to become a competent communicator.

title: A study of English learning motivation and demotivation types of students in north-eastern vocational Thai college

description: Everyone needs to have motivation such as motivation in learning the English language. Motivation is considered a part of the affective factors (Gardner, 1985) that would increase a chance for students to get motivated and fulfill students learning orientation (Dornyei, 2001). The purpose of this study is to examine the types and level of student’s motivation in learning English by 2 main categorized instruments and integrative motivation and investigate demotivation factors that affect students when learning language. There were 200 second-year students who are currently studying in Vocational college and participated in answering the questionnaire adapted from an Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) that was used to measure motivation by the degree of a relevant factors, which was used for evaluation and demotivation questionnaire adapted from Dornyei (2001). The data revealed that the students had high motivation in learning English in both types and instrumental motivation was slightly higher than integrative while demotivational factors that affected students were the lack of knowledge about proper grammar, vocabulary and accent as well as the lack of chance to use English in their daily lives including the unsupportive opinions from their friends and poor teaching pedagogy as well as poor materials used in classroom.

title: A survey of attitudes towards and motivation in learning English of architecture students

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of attitude and motivation in English language learning of architecture students in a public university in Pathumthani province. The study examined the participants’ attitudes in terms of three aspects: cognitive, behavioral, and emotional. In terms of motivation, instrumental and integrative motivations were explored. Fifty-three architecture students include first and second-year students in the academic year 2021-2022 from a public university. A questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used as the research instruments for data collection. The overall aspects of attitudes were at a high level of agreement. The participants in this study had a high level of agreement on the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive aspects. However, the cognitive aspect had the highest mean among all aspects because Thai architecture students perceive the importance of English as they will need it for their future life and career. In terms of motivation, all participants were highly motivated in terms of instrumental and integrative motivation to learn English. Although both instrumental and integrative motivation were found to have a high level of agreement, instrumental motivation was rated higher than integrative motivation. Most of the students were instrumentally motivated in learning English. Moreover, the results from the interview data showed that some students were aware of the importance of learning English and were motivated to learn English. They were aware that learning English could be very helpful and the reasons to improve their English skills were for their future career and success. In terms of developing their English skills, they suggested that English learning should start with the basic knowledge of grammar and include an interesting activity related to the lesson. Also, they should start with themselves to improve their English. Therefore, the results of the interview were linked to the data from questionnaire.

title: A study of anxiety in English speaking among Thai financial workers of a commercial bank

description: The study aims to investigate English speaking anxiety level and find out the strategies that overcome English-speaking anxiety. The participants of this study were thirty Thai financial workers at a commercial bank in Saraburi, Thailand. The questionnaires were used as research instrument to answer the research questions. Furthermore, data was obtained through questionnaires which was represented through maximum, minimum, mean, standard deviation and percentage. The findings of this study revealed that the level of English-speaking anxiety among Thai financial workers of a commercial bank was at a moderate level because Thai financial workers are more likely to get anxious when communicating with foreign customers in the workplace which is caused by lack of preparation and negative thoughts about their English-speaking performance. Additionally, the participants decided to use positive thinking and relaxation strategy as their main strategies to cope with their English speaking in the workplace.

title: The barriers in English speaking and listening of Thai registered nurses at a university-affiliated hospital in Bangkok

description: English communication skills are a challenge for nurses who use Thai as their mother tongue, especially in an era when Thailand has become medical hub and English is used as a world language. The objectives of this study were twofold: 1) to identify the barriers in English speaking and listening of Thai registered nurses at the operational level and administrative level when confronting foreign patients while providing nursing care and 2) to explore the differences in the barriers in the English speaking and listening of the operational level and administrative level nurses when using English with foreign patients. The study was quantitative research using a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms. The data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics namely frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The participants were selected by purposive sampling. They were Thai registered nurses at two different levels, the operational and administrative levels, working in the Obstetric-Gynecological Nursing Division in a university-affiliated hospital. The findings revealed that both groups of nurses felt that they have moderate barriers to English speaking in all aspects, including lexicon, pronunciation, syntax, speaking fluency, and emotional interference. Among these aspects, lexicon barriers were perceived as the highest obstacle to speaking, and they usually translate Thai sentences into English, which was the highest barrier. Regarding listening, both groups reported that they had moderate barriers in five aspects: lexicon, listening comprehension, accent, listening proficiency, and emotional interference. The research results may benefit the Nursing Department in terms of planning appropriate training course for their personnel to improve the English language ability. Further study should investigate the strategies nurses use to overcome English language barriers.

title: Attitudes of Thai primary students toward deductive approach in English grammar teaching

description: The purposes of this study were to investigate 1) the primary student’s attitudes toward the deductive method of teaching English grammar and 2) the preferred ways of Thai primary students to learn grammar. The subjects in this study were 66 students of the Intensive English Program at a private school in Bangkok, and the convenience sampling technique was used to obtain each subject for the study. The research instrument was a survey questionnaire comprising of two parts: (1) general information, (2) statements on attitudes toward deductive approach in teaching grammar and exploring students’ preferred ways to learn grammar. A Likert scale was used to determine the level of attitudes. Data were analyzed and calculated using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) database to determine the percentage, mean, and standard deviation.The results of this study showed that students had a positive attitude towards the deductive grammar teaching method. Most students agreed that learning the rules and forms helps them understand the lesson better and learn grammar faster. They understand the English lesson better, especially when the teacher teaches in Thai, and the deductive grammar teaching method helps them remember the rules and usage of the language. The findings also showed that most students prefer to learn grammar by describing the rules and examples in the beginning and then practicing. They would like the teacher to explain the grammatical structure in Thai and practice translating from English to Thai. Also, most of the students agreed that learning grammar through various activities can improve language learning.
