Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate efficient methods for improving the English-speaking abilities of Thai students, implemented by non-Thai pre-service instructors. Additionally, this research attempts to identify and overcome any potential challenges that may develop throughout the teaching process. The study used a qualitative technique and descriptive case study design to examine data collected from in-depth interviews and questionnaires. The findings indicate that non-Thai pre-service teachers employ many successful ways to enhance the English-speaking abilities of Thai students. Nevertheless, obstacles like language and cultural barriers continue to be significant issues. This research also emphasizes the significance of hands-on experience in negotiating these challenges. However, there is a need for more improvement in institutional support in order to boost teacher effectiveness and improve student results. The study's implications are to facilitate cross-cultural education and enhance educational advancement in Thailand's linguistically varied setting.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of role-play strategies implemented by Indonesian pre-service EFL teachers and to investigate students’ responses to English learning at Turkeeyah Tunummah School, Southern Thailand. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 23 students engaged in an English lesson on the topic “My Daily Activity.” Data were collected through student response questionnaires administered before and after the implementation of the role-play strategy and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in student responses following the implementation of the role-play strategy. The mean score increased from 55.48 at the pretest stage to 92.83 at the posttest stage, with a significance level of p 0.05. These results indicate that role-play strategies effectively enhance students’ self-confidence, learning motivation, active participation, and speaking skills within a multilingual and multicultural EFL classroom context.

Abstract

This study looks into Thai students’ experiences of learning English with non-Thai teachers in primary and secondary schools in Thailand. Using a qualitative phenomenological research design, the study seeks to understand how students perceive, feel, and interpret their English learning experiences in communication-focused classrooms led by non-Thai teachers. The primary data source consisted of five interview participants aged 9-17, while a preliminary questionnaire administered to 21 students was used solely for contextual and screening. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews conducted in English, each lasting around ten minutes. This was supported by a preliminary questionnaire given to a larger group of students for additional context. The researchers analyzed the data manually, following the steps set by Moustakas, which include bracketing, horizonalization, thematic clustering, and essence synthesis, while also drawing on van Manen’s interpretations. The findings highlight key themes regarding students’ emotional experiences, including enjoyment, excitement, fear of making mistakes, and shyness during speaking activities. While students typically reported feeling more motivated and comfortable when learning with non-Thai teachers, they also faced significant challenges, like anxiety and fear of judgment from their peers in speaking-centered classrooms This study adds to the limited research on primary and secondary EFL learners’ experiences with non-Thai teachers in Thailand and emphasizes the significance of emotional factors in English language teaching settings.
