title: Shadow education: a survey of the teaching goals, methods and techniques of English tutors in mainstream schools

description: Shadow education refers to a supplementary class which happen concurrently with formal classes. In Thailand, there is a form of shadow education, tutor teaching in the mainstream school system. This supplementary class by tutors in a school system has been around for more than a century. This study aims to explore the English teaching goals, methods and techniques of the tutors in the mainstream schools. In this research, the focus is on English tutors who are experienced in teaching in the schools for more than ten years. Findings show that the main goal of tutors teaching English in the schools was not to enhance students’ English competency, but the performance of students in the exam is the focus. Tutors mentioned that it is impossible to assess actual writing, listening and speaking skills in the exam due to the nature of the multiple-choice exam. Grammar, vocabulary knowledge and reading skills are helpful to enable students to do well in the exam. The washback effect influences how tutors teach as they planned every class based on the exam. Teaching techniques mostly involve test-taking skills. One factor to be concerned about is the misalignment between standard-based curriculum which focus on communicative competency and university admission exams. This makes teacher finds it difficult to balance the class for their students. Tutors teaching in the mainstream schools seems to be an answer for this problem.

title: A study of factors influencing Thai students' attitudes towards English accents

description: Due to recent changing trends in English language learning, English has not only become demanding for communication, but it also faced changes in paradigm such as World Englishes or English as a Lingua Franca. These paradigms could be helpful to understand so that proper learning materials and methods of learning can be implemented. Therefore, it is necessary that we understand the current attitudes of Thai students and the factors influencing them. This research then aims to investigate Thai students’ attitudes towards English accents categorized into Three circle model of World Englishes based on Kachru’s model (1985) and the factors influencing the attitudes by using the questionnaire, verbal-guise test, and semi structured interview where 227 Thai high school students in one private Thai school in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand were chosen for the questionnaire and verbal-guise test and 10 participants were later contacted for the interview. This study revealed that while the participants have positive attitudes toward the Inner Circle English accents, it is not necessary that English should only be taught by native English speakers. Instead, the participants believed that they should be exposed to different varieties of English to become ready in real-life application rather than having only standard English taught in the classroom. The participants also believed that varieties of Englishes can reflect unique cultures and should not be avoided. Moreover, several factors influencing the attitudes of the participants were discovered including the influences from friends, family, communities, teachers, and media such as music, games, or shows.

title: Thai EFL secondary school teachers' perceptions towards online assessments

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate Thai EFL secondary school teachers’ perceptions towards online assessments, positive and negative effects of conducting online assessments, as well as challenges faced in online assessments. The study used a quantitative research design and involved 44 Thai EFL secondary school teachers from a southern province in Thailand, who had experience with online assessments. Data were collected through a questionnaire. The findings revealed that the teachers perceived neutral perceptions towards online assessments, most teachers felt comfortable with online assessments and found that online assessments increased the flexibility of time and space. However, the biggest concern was about the security of online assessments, especially cheating and plagiarism. The three main challenges mentioned were teachers’ IT skills, providing cheating or plagiarism protection, and the inequality of basic technological equipment, devices, and internet access. The findings will help teachers, administrators, and stakeholders to develop more effective online assessments system. It is recommended that future research gather information from a larger participant group and from various schools to increase reliability and generalizability.

title: The application of ChatGPT in the English classroom and the study of its impact on students' writing ability

description: In the current era, the demand for the use of generative AI in teaching has received attention, and according to the Cambridge University Press & Assessment, GenAI is developing at an alarming rate. Teachers and students take the initiative to come into contact with these diverse AI systems in daily life, but they do not know how to correctly use it in teaching and do not know how to design logical teaching methods. In order to promote English teachers to be able to reasonably use the efficient and technological tools to assist their teaching, and devote teaching examples to this cause. Based on Stylistic interaction theory, Associative memory theory, Level processing theory, and combining ChatGPT system, the author designs a series of teaching methods suitable for college students' English writing. The ChatGPT assisted teaching experiment was conducted on Chinese sophomore students studying in Thailand, and a controlled experiment was conducted to explore whether this teaching method can effectively promote students' writing quality.To reach a conclusion on whether classroom guided teaching with ChatGPT software can effectively improve students' writing quality. In addition, the author uses IELTS writing scoring criteria to conduct data statistics, and further finds out the different effects of this teaching method on different writing scoring indicators. The results showed a positive consequence of the application of ChatGPT in ELT classrooms on students’ writing quality.

title: The effectiveness and students' perspectives on the gamification of grammar lessons in an EFL classroom

description: English language instruction in Thailand is difficult due to limited possibilities for students to use the language outside of the classroom. Students' belief that English is only for exams intensifies these issues. Teaching English in Thailand is difficult since students cannot practise outside of class, and others assume English is mainly for testing. Also, the perceived complexity of the grammar discourages students from learning it. The purpose of this study is to analyse the efficacy of gamification in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Moreover, students’ perspectives on using gamification to teach grammar must be better understood. The results of the posttest demonstrated a significant enhancement in the participants' performance in English grammar when the use of gamification was implemented into the English grammar lessons. The individual feedback encompassed a range of perspectives regarding the gamification intervention, including both positive and negative aspects. These viewpoints highlighted various factors, such as the enjoyment, engagement, and excitement experienced during the use of gamification, as well as the possibility of stressfulness when utilising gamification. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of gamification will allow for more effective implementation in Thai English language classrooms.

title: Identifying professional development needs of in-service primary school EFL teachers without an English major in Northeastern Thailand

description: This study investigated the professional development needs of in-service EFL teachers who did not major in English at primary schools in Northeastern Thailand. The research comprised two phases: an initial online questionnaire completed by 30 participants, followed by semi-structured interviews with 15 willing participants from the first phase. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through the questionnaire and interviews. The findings revealed a significant lack of English language proficiency and teaching skills among non-English major teachers, particularly in grammar, vocabulary, and cross-cultural communication. These deficiencies hindered their ability to provide high-quality instruction. Additionally, the study identified problems related to students' low English proficiency, exacerbated by teacher shortages and insufficient instructional support. The study underscored the urgent need for targeted professional development initiatives to enhance teachers' language knowledge and pedagogical skills. Addressing resource limitations and improving teaching materials were deemed crucial for effective English language education. The research emphasized the importance of ongoing training sessions, workshops on teaching techniques, and technology integration to empower teachers and improve student learning outcomes.

title: Non-Thai EFL teachers' perceptions and problems in integrating content into language instruction in a Thai primary school

description: This study attempted to investigate perceptions of non-Thai EFL teachers in an English Program toward integrating content into language instruction and to explore the problems experienced by EFL teachers in an English Program context. The instrument was a five Likert scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The participants were the 30 non-Thai primary English teachers teaching in an EP in government schools in Thailand. They were from the UK, the USA, South Africa, Russia, and France. The findings of this study revealed the perceptions among non-Thai primary English teachers within the English Program framework in Thailand regarding the efficacy of Content-Based Instruction (CBI) in enhancing students’ language proficiency including increasing confidence in English language and facilitating second language acquisition. Furthermore, the study identifies a salient impediment encountered by non-Thai instructors in the form of the language barrier, which poses considerable challenges to effective pedagogical delivery and classroom management.

title: The study of apology strategies used by Thai high-school EFL male and female students in Thai high school

description: This study investigates the apology strategies of Thai high school EFL students, focusing on gender differences, the influence of social variables (social status, social distance, and seriousness of offenses), and the influence of their native language, Thai, on their English apologies. Grounded in speech act theory and politeness theory, it references J.L. Austin (1962), John Searle (1969), and Brown and Levinson (1987). Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative analysis of written Discourse Completion Tasks (DCTs) with qualitative insights from an open-ended questionnaire. Holmes’s (1990) taxonomy of apology strategies was used as an instrument. Thirty students (13 males, 17 females) from Samutprakarn province participated, responding to 12 scenarios involving different Holmes’s (1990) types of offenses developed to elicit apology strategies. Scenarios varied in social distance (D), status (P), and seriousness of offenses (R) to examine their influence on apologies. Findings show that Thai EFL students use a range of strategies, including expressions of regret, offers of repair, and explanations. The most used strategy was Expression of Regret (A2), often combined with Acknowledgement of Responsibility (C). Gender differences were not significant: both genders tended to employ explicit apologies and provide explanations to mitigate the offense. The influence of Thai culture was evident in the preference for indirect and formal strategies, reflecting cultural norms of politeness and face-saving. The study highlights the need for integrating pragmatic competence into English teaching in Thailand, addressing both linguistic and cultural communication aspects.

title: Word retention based on the picture word inductive model (PWIM) among Thai twelfth graders

description: This study examined the effectiveness of the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) in enhancing vocabulary retention among 40 twelfth-grade students in a bilingual school in Thailand. Participants, aged 16 to 19, were selected based on their English proficiency levels (grades D and C). The study used paper-based multiple-choice vocabulary tests (pretests, immediate posttests, and delayed posttests) to assess vocabulary recognition. Black and white images were used to eliminate color as a factor, and an 'I don't know' option was included for accuracy. The analysis focused on immediate vocabulary acquisition and long-term retention. Paired-samples t-tests compared mean scores across different test stages. The results showed significant immediate vocabulary acquisition following the PWIM intervention, but no statistically significant differences in long-term retention between the immediate and delayed post-test scores.
