Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Latin alphabet usage on the vocabulary writing skills and science understanding of Thai Malay among Mattaeom 1 students at Ban Padungmat School, Thailand. A qualitative descriptive method was employed using participatory observation and documentation techniques on 25 students. The findings reveal that students face significant challenges in writing vocabulary due to differences in graphemic and phonological systems between the Latin alphabet and Thai script. Three dominant types of errors were identified: graphemic errors (72%), phonological errors (80%), and mixed usage of Latin and Thai characters (60%). These errors are influenced by negative transfer from the mother tongue and low adaptation to the Latin script. The study emphasizes the need for a contextual and phonetic-based learning approach in teaching the Latin alphabet to bilingual students. It recommends more intensive phonological and graphemic training to enhance vocabulary writing accuracy in Thai Malay.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to develop ethical language values among students through storytelling and folklore-based learning. The activity was implemented at Ban Phadung Mart School, Southern Thailand, involving 20 students over three sessions. The program applied interactive storytelling as a medium to integrate linguistic, cultural, and moral learning. The community service was designed as a participatory educational intervention that emphasized the use of folklore to internalize ethical concepts such as honesty, respect, responsibility, and empathy. Data were collected through observation, reflection journals, and interviews with students and teachers. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ understanding of moral values and their ability to use English to express those values. The storytelling sessions not only improved language skills but also cultivated ethical awareness, social responsibility, and appreciation of local culture. The project highlights the importance of folklore as a pedagogical tool in developing ethical and linguistic competence in EFL contexts.
