Abstract

The development of English-speaking skills among Thai EFL students remains challenging due to linguistic differences, rote-learning methods, and limited real-world practice. While technology-assisted learning is gaining attention, research rarely explores the integration of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) with AI tools. This study examines the effectiveness of combining SRL with ELSA Speak AI to improve  speaking proficiency. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR), 30 sixth-grade students at Darul Muhmin Elementary School underwent a two-cycle intervention, with data collected through pre-tests, post-tests, interviews, and observations. Results show significant improvements in pronunciation, fluency, and confidence, with all students surpassing the minimum passing criteria. The study concludes that integrating SRL with AI fosters learner autonomy, engagement, and performance, demonstrating AI’s potential in EFL education.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Collective Reflection-Based Argumentation Mapping (CR-AM) in enhancing argumentative speaking skills among primary school students. Conducted with 20 sixth-grade students at Anuban Ob-Om School in Southern Thailand, the research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach over two cycles, with data collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and observations. The assessments of students' speaking skills, conducted by pre-test and post-test evaluations, demonstrated a substantial enhancement in average speaking scores, rising from 52.75 to 70.25, with all students achieving the minimum mastery criterion. Observational data revealed elevated levels of student involvement and participation during collective reflection activities, underscoring the advantages of collaborative learning. The findings show that CR-AM effectively fosters essential language skills, preparing students for meaningful communication and critical thinking.
