Abstract

This study aims at finding out how the use Audio Lingual Method through Repetition Drill Technique improves Thai students’ pronunciation ability. This is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in Darul Mahdiah private school Songkhla-Thailand. The subjects of the study are 16 Thai students of class 6/2 at the school. The data were collected from pronunciation tests and analyzed by using percentages analysis. The result of the students’ pronunciation improvement was as follows; in the pre-pronunciation test the students’ pronunciation score was 0% (excellent), 0% (very good), 31.25% (good), 31.25% (low) and 37.5% (failed), in the cycle 1 post test the score was 0% (excellent), 14.29% (very good), 50% (good), 21.42% (low) and 14.29% (failed), and the score of the cycle 2 post test was 6.25% (excellent), 37.5% (very good), 43.75% (good), 12.5% (low) and 0% (failed). This leads to the conclusion that the students’ improved pronunciation was due to the two reasons; first, the students’ pronunciation ability improved through repetition drill since they got used to pronounce words intelligibly as what the teacher modeled.Keywords: audio lingual method, repetition drill, pronunciation, thai students

Abstract

This paper reports on research into vocabulary learning opportunities provided in the reading comprehension passages. It is a quantitative study with a corpus analysis using AntWordProfiler program. Data was collected from reading comprehension passages involving all words in the passages. The results show that the reading comprehension passages provided a great opportunity to deepen knowledge of first 1,000 most frequent words. However, they did not provide good opportunities to develop knowledge of second 1,000 most frequent words, academic words and unlisted words well. This is because most of the word families found in the reading comprehension passages occurred once and less than five times. In conclusion, the reading comprehension passages provided opportunities to learn first 1,000 most frequent words and lacked the opportunities for second 1,000 most frequent words, academic words and unlisted words.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (ECE) often relies on paper-based activities that limit children’s engagement and contextual learning. To address this, a semiotic project-based module was developed to enhance early numeracy literacy through culturally relevant, hands-on learning aligned with children's developmental needs. This research employed a Research and Development (RD) design using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). Module development included needs analysis, diagnostic assessment, media and activity design, expert validation, small- and large-scale trials, and evaluation. The module integrated semiotic elements (icons, indices, and symbols) within project-based learning themed around traditional foods from Jember, Indonesia. Validity, practicality, and effectiveness were assessed through expert review, teacher questionnaires, and observational data. Expert validation results showed an average validity score of 85%, categorized as “very valid.” Teacher responses in the small-scale trial (n=13) indicated 92.3% rated the module “very effective,” while the large-scale trial (n=13) achieved 100% in the same category. Observations of children’s participation indicated a 98% engagement rate, demonstrating high practical effectiveness. The findings suggest that the module is valid, practical, and effective in supporting early numeracy literacy. The use of semiotic representations within culturally contextualized projects provided meaningful numeracy experiences. However, the small sample size and local context limit generalizability. Further research with diverse populations and objective assessments is recommended.
