- PublicationFlipped Learning Approach: Engaging 21st Century Learners in English ClassroomsSakulprasertsri, Kriengkrai (Language Institute, Thammasat University, 2017)Advanced technology in the 21st century brings about new opportunities and challenges in societies throughout the world. Consequently, learners in this century need to be well-equipped with the content knowledge and all necessary skills for their lifestyles and future careers. Many pedagogical approaches have been introduced in English classrooms in terms of responding to the educational reform policies, especially in L2 settings such as Thailand in particular. Regarding the need for new pedagogical approaches in English classrooms to enhance students’ essential skills in the 21st century, the flipped learning approach, an alternative instructional approach where the direct instruction in class time and homework are reversed, has recently received great attention from many language teachers, educators, and researchers. This article aims at providing a theoretical background and how the flipped learning approach can be employed in English classrooms to enhance learners’ engagement and other skills needed in this century. In addition, it attempts to highlight some challenging issues if this approach is adopted for a wider use in English teaching in Thailand.
- PublicationPerceptions of Project-Based Learning on Promoting 21st Century Skills and Learning Motivation in a Thai EFL settingWongdaeng, Meechai; Hajihama, Sulaiya (Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University (Rangsit Campus), 2018)With the impact of globalization and advanced digital technology, the ways students learn have changed remarkably through the decades. Therefore, the skills that students today should acquire from schools are not limited merely to the subject knowledge. Learners need to be equipped with the skills of the era commonly known as the 21st century skills. To address such need, this research project was conducted to implement Project-Based Learning (PBL) with a group of EFL learners at the Demonstration School of Prince of Songkla University. Two main purposes were to examine students’ levels of motivation to learn English through PBL and to investigate the learner’s perception of the impact of the PBL on improving their 21st century skills, namely, collaboration and communication. Findings from the survey suggested that PBL is perceived to be effective in promoting the learner’s motivation to learn English. Furthermore, PBL can enhance the target 21st century skills which are essential for the learners to succeed in learning as well as for work in the current age. Therefore, PBL is suitable for the participating language learners and can be worth-implementing in other EFL classrooms in Thai high schools.
