title: The impact of flipped learning on Thai secondary students’ grammar ability

description: This research study aimed (1) to examine the impact of the flipped learning on Thai secondary students’ English grammar ability, specifically on two grammar points—past simple and past perfect—and (2) to investigate students’ perceptions towards the flipped learning. This study included 35 students from a public secondary school in Northeast Thailand who were chosen using purposive sampling. A grammar test was used to determine their English grammar ability and which grammar points should be studied further. A pretest, a posttest, and a questionnaire were used to collect the data from the participants. The pretest and posttest mean scores were analyzed by using SPSS to determine t-test scores. The findings revealed that (1) the students’ posttest mean scores significantly improved at the significance level of .01, and (2) the students had positive perceptions towards flipped learning in all five aspects: content, materials, teaching methods, in-class activities, and overall . Furthermore, the students stated that flipped learning generated active, flexible and cooperative learning environments for studying English grammar, providing ample opportunities for them to practice applying their grammar knowledge in real-life situations. However, flipped learning required a significant amount of time and effort from both the teacher and the students in order to successfully learn English grammar.

title: Expectations of Thai undergraduate students on future employability based on their TOEIC score: evidence from a human resource perspective

description: This study aimed to find out: 1) how can Thai undergraduate students’ TOEIC score affect their expectations towards future employability and 2) the reasons for Thai undergraduate students to choose TOEIC for English proficiency testing and for employers to use it for recruitment purposes. The respondents of the study were 200 undergraduate students from Walailak University, Thailand, and 10 different companies’ HR departments. The participants responded through a questionnaire and their responses are analyzed and presented in this study qualitatively. The results of the study are: 1) Thai undergraduates recognize the potential dependability of their future employment on their TOEIC test scores as most companies are found to be using the TOEIC test as one of the employment requirements and most of them are in need of English speaking employees, and 2) the reason for choosing TOEIC by both students and employers is because of the simplicity of TOEIC compared with the other English proficiency tests.

title: Thai high school students' attitudes towards using Quizizz on English vocabulary learning

description: This study focuses on Thai high school students’ attitudes towards using Quizizz, an online gamified educational application, on English vocabulary learning. The objectives of this study were 1) to explore Thai high school students’ satisfaction towards using Quizizz in English vocabulary learning, 2) to investigate Thai high school students’ perceived advantages and disadvantages in using Quizizz for English vocabulary learning, and 3) to investigate Thai high school students’ suggestions towards the use of Quizizz in English vocabulary learning. The researcher employed a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to answer the research questions. Altogether, 25 Thai high school students responded to the questionnaire while five students participated in the semi-structured interviews. The findings gained from the questionnaires illustrated that the overall mean score of the students’ satisfaction towards learning vocabulary using Quizziz was 4.58. This score can be interpreted to mean that the students had a very high satisfactory level in using the application. Furthermore, findings from the interviews revealed that participants were satisfied with using the application because learning vocabulary using Quizizz was fun; helped them memorize words more easily; made them feel more enthusiastic about vocabulary learning; and it led them to have positive attitudes towards learning vocabulary. Because of these reasons, they would like to use Quizizz more in the future. Moreover, the findings from the open-ended questionnaire and interviews showed that learning vocabulary using this approach increased their engagement and motivation as well as helped them better concentrate on the lesson. However, the internet signal, the score ranking in this application, and the vocabulary-speaking sounds in this application were considered disadvantages in using this application. Therefore, the students suggested that it would be better if the designers improved the application’s vocabulary-pronunciation sounds, provided a thorough explanation at the end of the vocabulary test, and developed a specific feature that emphasized the practice of spelling.

title: Synonymous intensifiers quite, pretty, rather, fairly in Thai English learners’ writing: a corpus-based comparative study between non-native speakers and native speakers

description: This corpus-based study aimed to investigate the differences and similarities of four synonymous intensifiers — quite, pretty, rather, and fairly —between the Thai Learners English Corpus (TLEC) and the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). A corpus-based approach was used in the study. The data was taken from two dictionaries: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (2014) and Oxford Advanced American Dictionary for Learners of English (2011). Also, two corpora, the TLEC and COCA, were used in the study. The results of the study suggest that quite, pretty, rather, and fairly share core meanings but differ with respect to detailed meanings, connotations, collocations, grammatical patterns and degree of formality. As for the frequency of use of the four synonymous intensifiers in the TLEC and COCA, the results revealed that fairly occurs with the least frequency in both the TLEC and COCA while quite occurs with the highest frequency in TLEC and pretty occurs with the highest frequency in COCA. In terms of connotations, fairly and pretty are more positive an emotional sense in the TLEC and COCA. Moreover, fairly is more commonly used in formal contexts than its loose synonyms in the TLEC, while rather is commonly used in very formal contexts in COCA. Based on the results, the four synonymous intensifiers quite, pretty, rather, and fairly cannot completely substitute for each other in all contexts. Thai EFL learners should be taught to select the appropriate words among these four synonymous intensifiers to enhance their English writing.

title: The study of communication apprehension (CA) in L1 and L2 among Thai junior high school students

description: This study aimed to investigate the communication apprehension (CA) of Thai junior high school students, from 8th and 9th grade, studying in an English Program, when communicating in Thai language (L1) and English language (L2). The study also investigated whether there was any communication apprehension difference among students of different GPA. The total number of participants was 40 students. The research instrument was the PRCA-24 (McCroskey, 1982) translated into a Thai version with proven construct validity (Rimkeeratikul, 2008). The majority of the participants were found to have a moderate level of CA in Thai language, but a high level of CA in English language. The CA in English was higher than in Thai. The dimension with the highest CA score in Thai language was public speaking, whilst meetings had the highest CA score in English language. Furthermore, the participants with GPA of under 3.50 had higher CA scores in both languages. This could possibly imply that being apprehensive about communicating is related to an individual’s academic achievement.

title: A needs analysis of English for Lanna musicians

description: This study was conducted to investigate the needs of Lanna musicians in terms of English language skills and core content in order to teach non-Thai speakers in Lanna music course. The researcher applied multiple sources of data collection, including interviews and questionnaires. This case study applied a mixed approach to determine the speaking, listening, writing, and reading needs of Lanna musicians in Chiang Mai. The participants of this study were 30 Lanna musicians. According to the finding, the majority of the respondents preferred to develop speaking skill over the other key language skills. Concerning the learning content, naming and describing parts of the Lanna instrument was the most preferred, while the respondents expressed having the lowest proficiency with the same topic. For the speaking skill, explanation of how an instrument is played was the most preferred for the respondents to study, while their proficiency level was the lowest on the same topic. The respondents showed their highest enthusiasm in learning Sa-lor in English. The major content included parts of Lanna instruments, type of Lanna music performance, and the Lanna music combo. Regarding the instructor preference, studying with both a native speaker and a Thai teacher would be the most effective. The respondents also preferred to study a 1-hour class 2 times a week, and the course should run for a period of roughly 30 hours. This research was carried out in an ESP context, which contributes to course design in English language for Lanna musicians who deliver Lanna music lessons to foreign learners. It also proposes a needs analysis framework that could be applicable in other future ESP needs analyses in different contexts.

title: Error analysis of English essays written by Thai high school students in international schools and English Programs

description: Writing is one of the most significant skills in language learning; its significance considerably rises especially when it comes to the English language, which provides infinite access to global mediation of knowledge. This skill, regardless of advanced or beginner levels, is no doubt the most difficult skill. In order to be an effective EFL writer, one requires the integration of other essential aspects: cohesion, logic, clear structure, and interesting and proper organization with a wide range of vocabulary and mastery of conventions in mechanics Writing is an extremely challenging cognitive activity, requiring learners to possess mastery over various factors. This demanding skill is essential for all learners, in terms of both first or second language acquisition. Learners are sometimes conscious of this fact, but sometimes they are not as some features and significance of writing are too common to detect.This study employed an error analysis, and English written essays were used as the data collection instruments with 32 high school students in international schools and in English programs. This study was aimed at identifying the problems preventing Thai students in international schools and English programs from effectively writing an essay and the causes of these problems. This study is significant for both English teachers and students. For the former, they will be informed of useful information regarding students’ errors in writing English essays, so that they will be able to prepare contents as well as materials for their writing class. For the latter, feedback will be given to students to enable them to recognize their own grammatical errors which, in turn, will contribute to noticeable progress in writing essays.
