The ability to pronounce consonant clusters is essential for the communicative processes of a language. The SQ4R teaching model, normally employed in reading comprehension development studies, could be adapted to benefit a speaking classroom. The purposes of the study were 1) to investigate the effects of the SQ4R technique on Thai students’ consonant cluster pronunciation and 2) to study student satisfaction with the SQ4R technique in developing consonant cluster pronunciation. The participants were 40 grade 6 students in a public school in Thailand. The participants were chosen using the purposive sampling method. The criteria emphasize the heterogeneous characteristics of first language, experiences in foreign countries, and dialects. The instruments were 1) a learning management plan designed using the activities of the SQ4R technique in developing the pronunciation of consonant clusters, 2) consonant clusters pronunciation assessment form, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using percentages, mean scores, standard deviation, and an effective index with the determining criteria of 75/75. The results of the study indicate the benefits of the SQ4R technique to both in-process and end-product outcomes. Moreover, it was also found that the participants were satisfied with the processes provided by the learning management. The results of the study provide academic implications for further research and pedagogical implication for educational personnel seeking to solve problems in developing students’ pronunciation.

The purposes of the study were 1) to study the effects of the 12PBL technique learning management on Grade 7 students’ reading comprehension; and 2) to study students’ satisfaction with learning in the 12PBL technique. The samples were 22 Grade 7 students in a school in Thailand selected by a purposive sampling method. The instruments were the 12PBL learning management plan, a learning achievement test for reading comprehension, and a satisfaction questionnaire for the 12PBL learning management. The effectiveness of the 12PBL learning management plans was assessed using the effectiveness index (E1/E2) with the determining criteria of 80/80 and a paired-sample t-test. Mean scores, percentages, and standard deviation were used to analyze the questionnaire data. The results of the study show that the 12PBL technique could be considered an alternative solution for fixing reading comprehension problems. Moreover, the instructional technique also brought about satisfactory learning in a language classroom.

The purposes of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of an online integrated learning management plan on grade 9 students’ reading comprehension and to study the students’ satisfaction with the online integrated learning management plan. The study was conducted in a one-group experimental design. The participants were 33 grade 9 students in a public school in Thailand. The instruments were a learning management plan designed using the integration of online learning, a reading comprehension test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics of percentage, mean score, standard deviation, a paired samples t-test, and the effectiveness index with the determining criteria of 75/75 were used to analyze the effectiveness of the treatment. The results indicate the effectiveness of learning management in a reading classroom. Moreover, the online environment also brought about a satisfying learning experience for the participants. The results contribute to the investigation of online integrated learning on reading development as they provide a piece of evidence to support the instructional method in the reading classroom with learners of a certain context.

The purposes of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of the QSCCS technique on the development of grade 9 students’ summary writing and 2) to study the students’ satisfaction with learning to write a summary with the QSCCS technique. The study was conducted in a quasi-experimental design using a single group of participants. The participants were 44 students in the Thai context. They were chosen using the purposive random sampling technique. The instruments were a learning management plan designed using the QSCCS technique, a pre-post-test, and a questionnaire. The students’ scores before and after the treatment were compared using a paired-sample test. The effectiveness of the learning management was analyzed considering the students’ performances during the learning process (E1) and the students’ post-test scores (E2). Mean scores and standard deviations were also used to analyze students’ questionnaire answers. The result of the study indicates the benefits of the QSCCS technique in developing grade 9 students’ summary writing skills. In addition, it was discovered that the participants were satisfied with learning to write a summary with the QSCCS technique. The results of the study provide an alternative instructional method for teaching summary writing.

Literacy is a foundational skill essential for learners as it lays the groundwork for success in education and future careers. However, some students face challenges in acquiring this ability, as transitioning from oral language acquisition to textual communication is not a simple task. Brain-based learning (BBL) is an instructional approach that capitalizes on the functioning of the brain in designing curricula, and it holds promise in addressing these challenges. The objectives of this study were twofold: 1) to develop a BBL management approach to enhance Thai students' literacy and proficiency in reading and writing skills in the Thai language, and 2) to implement this BBL management approach with Thai students. The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, five experts participated in evaluating the learning management approach. In phase 2, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 78 second-grade students as participants. The research employed various instruments, including teaching management materials for developing Thai language literacy and reading and writing fluency, a learning management evaluation form, pre-posttests for literacy and reading/writing fluency, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data analysis involved calculating mean scores, standard deviations, and conducting t-tests. The findings of the study revealed that: 1) the learning management approach comprised indicators, content, learning management processes using BBL, instructional materials, and assessments, and it received a very high evaluation; 2) the developed learning management approach proved effective in improving Thai language literacy and fluency in reading and writing. The students' literacy and fluency scores were significantly higher in the posttest compared to the pretest. Moreover, students expressed a very high level of satisfaction with the learning experience provided by the developed learning management approach.
