Abstract

In an increasingly globalized world, English reading comprehension is an essential skill, particularly for young learners in non-native English-speaking contexts such as Thailand. This study explores the effectiveness of narrative engagement in enhancing English reading comprehension among Thai elementary students through an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. The research involved 27 fifth and sixth-grade students from a primary school in Satun Province, Thailand. Data were collected through a reading comprehension post-test, a questionnaire, and classroom observation. Quantitative results revealed a high average post-test score (M = 86.67, SD = 8.77), indicating substantial improvement in reading comprehension following the narrative-based intervention. The findings show that students experienced emotional connection, attention, and identification with the stories. The majority of students reported feeling engaged, visualizing the scenes vividly, and relating to the characters’ experiences. These findings confirm that narrative engagement significantly contributes to students’ cognitive and emotional involvement in reading, leading to improved comprehension. The study recommends the integration of narrative texts into English language instruction to foster deeper reading experiences and motivation among young EFL learners.

Abstract

Vocabulary is the main foundation in learning English, because without adequate vocabulary mastery, students will find it difficult to understand and convey messages effectively. This study aims to describe in depth the various efforts made by Al-Ulum Junior High School students in improving their vocabulary mastery. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was obtained through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations of 30 purposively selected 8th grade students. The results revealed that students utilize a variety of learning strategies, ranging from recording new vocabulary in a special book, using digital-based learning applications such as Duolingo and YouTube, to repeating vocabulary independently outside of class hours. These strategies reflect the application of cognitive and memory strategies, and display a tendency towards self-directed learning. However, there are still some barriers, such as low self-confidence and limited practice of vocabulary use in real-life situations. The results of this study show that the presence of a supportive teacher and a positive learning environment are instrumental in increasing students' participation and confidence in using vocabulary when communicating daily. The findings are expected to be valuable input in developing teaching approaches that are more relevant, flexible, and in line with the needs and characteristics of learners in the current era.
