title: A corpus-based study of the English synonyms strong and powerful

description: This research conducts a corpus-based analysis of the English synonyms strong and powerful, examining their collocational patterns and degrees of formality across different genres. Utilizing data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), the study explores noun collocates, contextual and frequency patterns uses in academic writing, newspapers, magazines, fiction, and spoken discourse. The findings show that strong appears much more often and demonstrates greater versatility than powerful in all genres, suggesting it is more widely applicable in both formal and informal settings. Furthermore, strong most frequently collocates with nouns related to Support and Relationships such as support, bond, and connection. By contrast, powerful tends to co-occur with nouns from the Equipment domain and often appears with terms linked to Weapons, Force, and Natural Phenomena such as force, weapon, and storm emphasizing notions of impact and control. These results indicate that although strong and powerful function as loose synonyms, their differing thematic associations and usage patterns across registers mean they are not fully interchangeable. The study also offers pedagogical insights, stressing the importance of understanding these subtle differences to promote more accurate and contextually appropriate language use.

title: Thai adult learners' perspectives on the advantages and disadvantages of using picture books as materials for EFL learning

description: Pictures have been used as a method of connecting real world visual stimuli with written letters for as long as we can remember. Pictures appear in variety of print media, and they can be understood by people regardless of genders, ethnic groups, or nationalities without much difficulty. Picture books, widely used in teaching English as a global lingua franca across many nations, are among the most popular learning materials for young learners developing language literacy. However, as learners grow older and enter adulthood, attitudes toward picture books begin to shift, and their popularity declines—despite numerous accounts of their effectiveness in supporting English vocabulary acquisition in both first (L1) and second (L2) language contexts. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the potential barriers and benefits influencing the use of picture books among adult EFL learners in Thailand. Six participants were selected through purposive sampling, with each pair representing a different age group. Data were collected through interviews, which were subsequently transcribed, analyzed, and categorized. The results revealed that all six participants appreciated the convenience, relatability, and enjoyment provided by picture books. However, key obstacles—such as time constraints, financial costs, limited content depth, and concerns over age appropriateness—were cited as factors hindering their continued use of picture books for English language learning. It was suggested that picture books may be particularly beneficial for learners with no foundational knowledge of English.

title: Impacts of reticence on Thai pre-service teachers' oral English communication skills

description: This study investigates reticence, defined as a student's reluctance to engage in English, and its impact on Thai pre-service teachers’ (N=30) English oral communication skills. Despite years of study, a significant number of students in Thai EFL classrooms are still hesitant to speak English. The study examines 30 undergraduate pre-service teachers (Years 2–3, B.Ed.) from Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University. All participants had 10+ years of English study and completed at least one EAP course. Data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires adapted from prior literature. The findings of the current study revealed that most of the students prefer silent compliance over active avoidance, but anxiety peaks during forced participation. Additionally, students said they felt nervous, scoring an average of 3.8, which was closely linked to their tendency to avoid participating, with a correlation of 0.67 (p&lt;0.01). Most students (72% agreement) felt judged by their classmates and criticized by their teachers, scoring an average of 3.6 on question 27, which were significant obstacles. Focusing on these challenges requires a balanced approach, pointing to enhancing students' language proficiency and motivation, creating supportive environments, providing frequent speaking opportunities, and designing relevant, engaging, and accessible learning materials. Implementing these strategies can facilitate a more active and confident use of English in the classroom and alleviate anxiety. Limitations include sample size and self-report bias, suggesting the need for further research.

title: A corpus-based study of English near-synonyms: careful, cautious, and wary

description: This corpus-based study investigates the similarities and differences among the three synonymous adjectives: careful, cautious, and wary in terms of genre distribution, collocational patterns, semantic preference, and semantic prosody. Data were drawn from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). The results reveal that careful occurs widely across both formal and informal genres, with the highest frequency in TV and movie subtitles. In contrast, cautious and wary are predominantly found in more formal genres, such as newspapers and academic text. Collocational patterns further distinguish that careful frequently co-occurs with nouns such as attention, consideration, analysis, planning, and examination, reflecting cognitive or analytical processes. Cautious commonly collocates with approach, optimism, step, investor, and consumer, indicating a financial or economic context. Wary tends to appear with nouns such as eye, investor, look, consumer, and glance, often relating to people or social perception. While cautious and wary share several collocates and semantic themes, careful does not overlap significantly with either. In terms of semantic prosody, careful and cautious exhibit neutral tones, whereas wary is generally associated with a more negative connotation. These findings demonstrate that, despite their synonymous definitions, careful, cautious, and wary are not fully interchangeable across contexts due to distinct linguistic and semantic patterns.

title: A corpus-based study of English synonyms: confirm, verify and validate

description: This corpus-based study investigates the subtle differences between the English near-synonyms such as confirm, verify, and validate. These verbs are often treated as synonymous; however, they exbibit distinctive usage patterns, degree of formality, and collocational patterns. Drawing data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), the study investigates their frequency, genre distribution, and collocational patterns. The findings show that confirm is used in both formal and informal registers to affirm existing information. In contrast, to verify and to validate are more context-specific with validate being closely tied to technical and academic discourse and verify being frequently linked to legal and digital contexts. Collocational analysis shows that confirm frequently co-occurs with nouns such as result, report, and finding, indicating its role in affirming known information. Verify is strongly associated with information, identity, and data that underscore its role in fact-checking and authentication. Meanwhile, validate has strong collocations with model, data, and result that emphasize its role in assessing reliability. These findings affirm that near-synonyms differ significantly in contextual and semantic usage that challenge the adequacy of dictionary definitions alone. They provide valuable insights for English teachers and learners that highlight the need for corpus-based approaches in vocabulary instruction to foster a deeper understanding of subtle lexical nuances and to support learners in making more precise and contextually appropriate word choices. This research encourages a comprehensive approach to teaching by using real data to demonstrate how words are used.

title: Implementing Kolb's experiential learning cycle to enhance speaking skills: a case study of Thai EFL primary students at a private school

description: This study investigated the implementation of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC) to enhance Grade 6 Thai EFL students’ English-speaking skills at a private primary school. Adopting Kolb’s Four-Stage Model—Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC), and Active Experimentation (AE)—this study employed a mixed-methods pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest involving 50 students over one academic term. Data werewas collected through speaking assessments, questionnaires, and interviews to explore both quantitative and qualitative outcomes. The findings revealed significant improvements in students’ fluency, vocabulary use, and speaking confidence. Additionally, students expressed positive perceptions of experiential learning, appreciating the opportunity to engage in practical, realistic, and interactive speaking tasks. These results suggest that experiential learning not only enhances language development but also boosts learner motivation and engagement. This supports the view that Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC) can effectively address the communicative needs of young Thai EFL learners. The study’s implications offer valuable insights for curriculum designers and educators aiming to move beyond traditional grammar-focused instruction toward more dynamic, learner-centered approaches. Furthermore, it contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting experiential learning models in EFL contexts and underscores the need for further research across different educational levels and cultural settings.

title: Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, 2023

description: The Australian Survey of Social Attitudes (AuSSA) is Australia’s main source of data for the scientific study of the social attitudes, beliefs and opinions of Australians, how they change over time, and how they compare with other societies. The survey is used to help researchers better understand how Australians think and feel about their lives. It produces important information about the changing views and attitudes of Australians as we move through the 21st century. Similar surveys are run in other countries, so data from the AuSSA also allows us to compare Australia with countries all over the world. The aims of the survey are to discover: the range of Australians’ views on topics that are important to all of us; how these views differ for people in different circumstances; how they have changed over the past quarter century; and how they compare with people in other countries. AuSSA is also the Australian component of the International Social Survey Project (ISSP). The ISSP is a cross-national collaboration on surveys covering important topics. Each year, survey researchers in some 40 countries each do a national survey using the same questions. The ISSP focuses on a special topic each year, repeating that topic from time to time. The topic for the 2023 survey is "National Identity and Citizenship". Previously the AuSSA ran National Identity (2013) and Citizenship (2014) as separate modules, but these have been combined to allow for a new module, "Digital Societies" expected to run in 2024. The data from questions B9-B13 and in all questions in sections C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K and questions L11,L42,L43_A,L43_B,L44_A,L44_B,L45,L46 are embargoed until 1 January 2027.
