title: The effectiveness of instruction through content and language integrated learning (CLIL) approach and English science textbook word lists (ESTWL) on science vocabulary knowledge and science content knowledge development of Thai EFL secondary school students

description: This research project aimed to investigate the impact of integrating English Science Textbook Word Lists (ESTWL) into a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach on the Science Vocabulary Knowledge and Science Content Knowledge of Thai English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. The study comprised two distinct phases. In the first phase, a corpus-based approach was employed to analyze 46 science textbooks in the English Science Textbook Corpus (ESTC). The result was the creation of ESTWL, categorized into Physical Science, Biological Science, and Earth & Space Science Word Lists, validated by 15 subject matter experts. These lists, consisting of 480 technically appropriate word types, aim to aid lower secondary school students in preparing for science classrooms and serve as a valuable resource for science and language teachers in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classes. The developed ESTWL series is accessible at https://sites.google.com/view/estwl. In the second phase, a mixed-methods research design was utilized to assess the effectiveness of ESTWL-CLIL lesson plans on 45 students from three levels (grade 7 to grade 9) of secondary school at a large institution in Bangkok. Quantitative data, gathered through Science Vocabulary Knowledge and Science Content Knowledge tests, showed a statistically significant increase in mean scores for both aspects after the intervention. Qualitative results further indicated that students perceived the instruction through CLIL approach and ESTWL positively. This study recommends the incorporation of this vocabulary pedagogy in CLIL settings for the benefit of science and language educators.

title: A comprehensive comparative study on grammar learning between face to face and online methods

description: This study aims to compare the differences of pre and posttest scores of three groups of first year undergraduate students in a Thai public university who learn grammar with different modes of learning: online, face-to-face, and both online and face-to-face. The research design of the study is a mixed method research design. During the first phase, students were separated into groups and given a comprehensive pre-test consisting of all the grammar points. The second phase consisted of administering pre-tests of each grammar unit, providing grammar lessons, recording student activity in a teacher’s observation journal, and then administering the post-tests of the grammar units. In the third phase, students were given a comprehensive post-test of all grammar points as well as a questionnaire and an interview that was conducted with each group’s representative to find out students’ opinions regarding online and face-to-face grammar teaching. A total of 101 participants (N = 101) responded to the test and 73 participants provided replies for the questionnaire. Results showed that face-to-face grammar learning yielded the highest test results. Factors that contributed to face-to-face grammar learning being superior to its online counterpart include interaction with classmates, mandatory class participation, and not being dependent on the quality of internet connection and electronic devices. The results revealed that most students preferred face-to-face grammar learning while online learning was an unsatisfactory alternative in time of the global pandemic lockdown. The research’s findings can be used to solidify steps which are effective for grammar learning and raise awareness for institutes and policy makers as to adjustments, improvements, and support that must be provided to ensure the quality of online learning.

title: A corpus-based vocabulary analysis of first-year undergraduate textbooks of an international program in economics

description: The purpose of this current study was to (1) investigate the text coverage that provided by the BNC/COCA Word Family Lists (Nation, 2017) and the Academic Word List (Coxhead, 2000) in the first-year Bachelor of Economics International Program (BEIP) textbooks, (2) investigate the vocabulary size required to read the BEIP textbooks, and (3) identify the AWL academic words that occur most frequently in the BEIP textbooks. A corpus of 1,343,493 words from the economics course textbooks was compiled into the ECON corpus and then analyzed using the AntWordProfiler software program (Anthony, 2020). It was found that the 4th 1,000 BNC/COCA word family lists reached 96.10% and the 9th 1000 BNC/COCA word family lists reached 98.11% in the ECON corpus. The results in this current study implied that a vocabulary size of around 3,500–4,000 word families is needed for reading the BEIP textbooks that requires 95% coverage for reasonable comprehension, while a vocabulary size of approximately 8,500–9,000 word families is needed for reading the BEIP textbooks that requires 98% coverage for optimal comprehension. Moreover, the AWL accounted for 9.62% of the text coverage, while the first and second 1,000-word levels of the GSL gave a cumulative coverage of 79.71%. Regarding the most frequently occurring words, AWL academic words must be selected using Coxhead’s (2000) criteria, with the word frequency of at least 38 times and 4 times in each subcorpus. In this current study, there were 187 frequently-occurring AWL academic words and 133 AWL academic family headwords. The results of the ECON corpus compilation suggest curriculum developers and materials designers include these words and emphasize their importance in an economics textbook for effective word selection. The findings also suggest implications for instructional practices, and recommendations for future research.

title: The effects of data-driven learning on Thai undergraduate students’ knowledge of lexical collocations used in business news

description: The present study was carried out to (1) investigate lexical collocations used in online business news based on the generated keywords list; (2) examine the effects of data-driven learning on Thai undergraduate students’ knowledge of lexical collocations used in online business news; and (3) to explore students’ perception towards learning business collocations through DDL. The study was commenced with a compilation of 755 online business news from a global news provider BBC.com. The news articles were saved into text files and uploaded onto a corpus software, AntConc, in order to construct the corpus of online business news (COBN) which comprises 678,373 running words. The first 120 keywords were determined in alignment with the set criteria and selected to use as ‘nodes’ for studying their lexical collocations. This process uncovered 335 collocates with six combination types. The most dominant types included Noun + Noun (N = 181; 54.02%) followed by Adjective + Noun (N = 90; 26.86%), and Noun + Verb (N = 46; 13.69%). To assess the effects of Data-Driven Learning (DDL) in teaching and learning of the keywords’ collocations, 51 Thai undergraduate students majoring in Business English were chosen for the study. An eight-week collocations workshop was imparted to the students where they followed DDL procedures and completed collocation exercises to learn the target collocations. The student participants took the pre-test and post-test before and after the pedagogical experiment. The findings from the paired samples t-tests indicated a noteworthy enhancement in students’ performance (t(50) = (11.74), p = &lt;0.001). This significant difference was also evident in each of the three parts of the test: part 1 (t(50) = (7.46), p = &lt;0.00); part 2 t(50) = (8.11), p = &lt;0.001); and part 3 (t(50) = (7.43), p = &lt;0.001). Furthermore, the students’ attitudes towards the implementation of DDL in teaching and learning business news collocations were investigated, using questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire were triangulated with the qualitative data elicited from the interviews. The findings revealed that students held both positive and negative attitudes towards learning English collocations through DDL. However, despite these mixed attitudes, students expressed the view that DDL was a more effective and practical method for learning English collocations compared to other traditional approaches, e.g. learning collocations from dictionaries. These results indicate that DDL or corpus-based language learning has potential benefits for teaching and learning of collocations.

title: Effects of a gamified blended learning application on writing skills and metacognitive awareness: a case study of Thai EFL university students

description: In the digital era, the integration of innovative pedagogical approaches is critical for enhancing English language learning and teaching. This study investigates the effects of a Gamified Blended Learning Application (GBLA) on Thai EFL university students’ writing skills and metacognitive awareness within a blended learning environment. The primary aims are to explore the efficacy of GBLA in improving writing proficiency, enhancing metacognitive awareness, and understanding student opinions of the GBLA. To achieve these aims, the research employs a mixed-methods design incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data. Participants included 30 students enrolled in the LA 201216 Basic English Writing course at a public university in northeast Thailand. Quantitative data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests which were analyzed by using t-test and SPSS software. Additionally, qualitative data were gathered from semi-structured interviews and reflective journals analyzed to gain deeper insights into student experiences and opinions. The research results of this study are significant. Key results indicate a substantial improvement in students’ writing skills and metacognitive awareness. Moreover, the gamified elements of the application, such as missions and quests, were particularly effective in maintaining student engagement and motivation. Despite initial challenges with navigating the platform and ensuring consistent internet access, comprehensive tutorials, and regular check-ins effectively mitigated these issues. Pedagogically, this study underscores the potential of gamified learning to enhance traditional teaching methods providing a more engaging and interactive learning experience. Furthermore, it suggests that integrating digital tools like GBLA can foster independent learning and motivate students beyond the classroom. Therefore, these results advocate for a reevaluation of educational policies to incorporate gamification aligning with contemporary educational needs and digital advancements. In conclusion, the study concludes with recommendations for future research emphasizing the need for larger-scale studies to further validate the results and explore the long-term effects of gamified learning on language proficiency and metacognitive development.

title: Effects of data-driven learning on the writing complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of Thai EFL learners

description: Recent years have seen an increasing focus on incorporating data-driven learning (DDL) into L2 writing instruction. This dissertation investigates the effectiveness of DDL activities in improving the writing complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of 30 Thai EFL learners, exploring both the extent and impact of these activities. The presentation of DDL in this study was hands-on concordancing with the assistance of the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). The study was held in the context of an English writing workshop focusing on opinion paragraphs, divided into two phases: four weeks for the pattern hunting activities and two weeks for the pattern refining activities. Applying CAF Profile of Larsen-Freeman (2006), the pretest and posttest writings were analysed. The results showed that DDL can enhance learners’ writing lexical complexity, accuracy, and fluency, whereas no statistically significant evidence was found in terms of grammatical complexity. Furthermore, the results from the questionnaire and the interview indicated that the learners had positive attitudes towards DDL as a useful reference resource to enhance their vocabulary acquisition, refine their writing, revise their compositions, generate fresh ideas for writing, and boost their writing confidence. Additionally, drawing insights from participants’ reflections during stimulated recall sessions and an examination of corpus search logs, the DDL strategies used by Thai EFL learners to facilitate their writing development are categorized into four themes: Utilization of COCA for Lexico-Grammatical Patterns, Strategic Use of Concordance Lines, Frequency Consideration in Word Selection, and Adaptability and Multiple Answers. These findings underscore the potential of DDL as a pedagogical tool in L2 writing instruction.

title: A comparative analysis of rhetorical figures used in English online banners of low involvement and high involvement products: a case study of non-English speakers

description: Rhetorical figures are widely used in advertisements to attract consumers’ attention. However, few writers have been able to draw on systematic research to assess the persuasiveness of rhetorical figures used in advertising, potentially diminishing their impact. Thus, to maximize the persuasive effect, it is essential to select the appropriate rhetorical figure based on the type of product. This study explores the common patterns of rhetorical modes writers use in the context of everyday life (low involvement; LI) and luxury (high involvement; HI) through content analysis. Subsequently, the level of persuasiveness of these patterns is examined with the use of a questionnaire. The results reveal that the scheme mode is commonly used in ads for LI products and the trope mode in ads for HI products. in contrast, the scheme mode is less common in ads for HI products and the trope mode in LI products. The common patterns are more persuasive than the uncommon ones since their cognitive demands are optimal for target consumers. The results of this study can be used as a benchmark for writing ads across various fields, such as advertising, marketing, and applied journalism.
