Journal-Light-Blue.Pdf Editor’s Note Having promoted an interdisciplinary recognition of the interplay between language and communication for over two decades, NIDA Journal of Language and Communication has strived to publish original research and review articles reflecting the up-to-date issues of all practice-oriented linguistic standpoints and communication as a theory, practice, technology, and discipline of power especially in applied contexts. Thanks to the increased interest in this dialectical relationship between language and communication among young scholars, our recently submitted manuscripts address the dynamic roles of language and its integrated communicational functions not necessarily confined by any particular disciplinary framework. This issue presents a diverse selection of stimulating articles from scholars and students.Keerati Thongsonkleeb and Kasma Suwanarak’s article, Students’ Perceptions towards the Roles of Local English Language Tutors and Problems of Learning English in Preparation for the AEC, explores the necessity of teaching materials and teaching techniques employed by Thai English language tutors in stimulating students’ motivation in learning English. Collecting 67 high school students’ opinions about the assistive role of Thai English language tutors in helping students develop their English proficiency, the authors assert that the tutors’ improved teaching styles and refined English accents are required in order to prepare students for the increasing demand of English communicative skills in relation to Thailand’s integration into the ASEAN Economic Community. Investigating the students’ retention of the subject matter, the second paper, Effects of Processing Instruction and Dictogloss on the Acquisition of the English Passive Voice among Thai University Students, written by Anuchit Tharamanit and Narat Kanprachar, compares the effects of teaching the English past simple passive through processing instruction (PI), dictogloss (DG), and traditional instruction (TI). Employing a quasi-experimental research conducted with 95 first-year English major students from a public university in Thailand, the paper considers the PI and TI instructions more effective than the DG instruction. The finding also notes that all types of grammar instruction enhance the acquisition of the English passive. Attapol Khamkhien’s paper, Combining a Corpus-Based Approach and Qualitative Analysis to Create a Pedagogically Useful List of Multiword Combinations for Research Publication, investigates the frequency and use of phraseological patterns in applied linguistics research articles. Using corpus linguistics methodology in combination with qualitative analysis, this paper identifies phraseological patterns frequently co-occurring in research articles, their structural types, and pragmatic functions in contextual environments. The results of the structural analysis indicates that noun-based structures are the most popular patterns while other structures whilst verb-based and prepositional-based structures are less employed. Functional analysis underlines the strong association between the use of certain phraseological patterns and the communicative functions of a given section of the texts. This paper offers an explanation for the language use in this writing research genre and provides more evidence-based instructional practices, especially advanced language courses targeted at scholarly reading and writing. Daranee Choomthong’s article, Characteristics of Slang Terms in Online Discussion among Thai Stock Investors, examines the characteristics of slang terms used by Thai stock investors when communicating via social networking media. Employing a mixed-methods methodology by counting the frequency of slang terms and analyzing metaphorical expressions, nativatization and the categorizations of puns. 55 common slang words are found in online discussion forums frequented by Thai stock investors. Forming the largest group with 31 words, the most distinctive features of slang words used by Thai stock investors in online stock discuss the use of metaphorical expressions. The findings also include 15 slang words undergoing a nativatization process in addition to nine paronymic puns emerging from the data. The paper suggests that most of the slang terms used by Thai stock investors when discussing stocks have a humorous and sarcastic tone. Ko Eun Lee’s paper, A Genre Analysis of English and Korean Research Paper Abstracts in Electronic Resource Management in Library and Information Science, investigates the way the main text of the journal article is represented and the function of the abstract in order to identify the structural differences between Korean and English academic journal abstracts focusing on rhetorical structures and linguistic realizations of selected journal article abstracts in the discipline of library and information science. The paper finds that English abstracts prefer the structure of “introduction-purpose- method” while Korean abstracts employ “introduction-purpose-method-results” structure. Chalermchai Chaichompoo’s article, Using e-Mapping to Improve Reading Comprehension and Summary Skills of EFL Students, problematizes whether using electronic mind mapping for the purpose of analyzing and summarizing reading passages can enhance the reading comprehension and summary skills of EFL. Experimenting with 50 second-year English major students, the data from the questionnaire and interview suggest that students find this method helps them analyse and summarize the contents of the reading passages better, faster and more accurately. Nuchada Dumrongsiri’s article, The Influences of Facebook on Romantic Relationship Development: Facebook Activities and Perception of the Person of interest, examines the way Facebook is used in accessing information about potential romantic partners and its impact on the perception about their dates. Collecting data from 154 undergraduate students by self-administered questionnaires, the paper reveals that passive activities, arguably the strongest factor influencing relationship development, are the preferred methods in learning about the persons of interest although Facebook use does not automatically engender trust in their dates. Soraya Ngamsnit’s paper, Learning of Media Ethics via Participation in Television Series Production, discusses an effective modal for teaching media ethical issues to communication arts students. Offering students’ first-hand experience in the media production processes, the research design aims to stimulate students’ awareness of media ethical concerns. Through direct participation in television series production, students are found to actively respond to media ethical issues. This issue presents a review of a book drawing attention to the psychological knowledge in language learning and teaching. Sureepong Phothongsunan contributes a resourceful review of the book “Exploring Psychology in Language Learning and Teaching”. This book is authored by Marion Williams, Sarah Mercer and Stephen Ryan. Marion Williams was formerly Reader in Applied Linguistics at the University of Exeter and is a past president of IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language). Sarah Mercer is Professor of Foreign Language Teaching at the University of Graz, Austria. Stephen Ryan is Professor in the School of Economics at Senshu University, Tokyo. Lastly, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all our contributors for enriching the NIDA Journal of Language and Communication.

  • A History of Siamese Music Reconstructed from Western Documents 1505-1932
    A HISTORY OF SIAMESE MUSIC RECONSTRUCTED FROM WESTERN DOCUMENTS 1505-1932 This content downloaded from 96.9.90.37 on Thu, 04 Feb 2021 07:36:11 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms Introduction The writing of music history, the chief activity of the musicologist, depends almost entirely on the existence of written documents. Historical studies of various musics of the world have appeared wherever there are such documents: Europe, China, Japan, Korea, India, and in the Islamic cultural area of Western Asia and North Africa. Mainland Southeast Asia, however, has remained much of a musico-historical void since little has remained besides oral traditions and a few stone carvings, although Vietnamese music is an exception to this statement. The fact that these countries have so few trained musicologists also contributes to the lack of research. In the case of the Kingdom of Thailand, known before 1932 as Siam, little has been attempted in the way of music history in languages other than Thai, and those in Thai, also not plentiful, remain unknown to the outside world.l Only the European-trained Prince Damrong has attempted a comprehensive history, but it is based as much on tradition and conjecture as on concrete evidence and is besides quite brief. David Morton's classic study of Thai traditional music, The Traditional Music of Thailand, includes some eighteen pages of history, mostly based on oral traditions, conjecture, circumstantial evidence from neighboring musical cultures (Cambodia, China, and India), and some from the same documents used in this study. At least three reasons can be given for the lack of historical materials originating in Thailand.

  • Principles of Romanization for Thai Script by Transcription Method

INTRODUCTION This romanization system for Thai had been revised by the Roya1 lnstitute and declared by the governrnent of Thailand as the national standard romanization system on 14 September 2000. By this systern, the speech sounds are transcribed regardless of original spelling' and voice tones e.g. %..w~t=chan, w?: = phra, LLfh = kaeo 2. TRANSCRIPTION OF CONSONANTS AND VOWELS 2.1 CONSONANTS - THAl ROMANIZED CONSONANT CHARACTER EXAMPLE NOTES: INlTlAL FINAL n k k ni = ka, un = nok 1. Phonetically h is the syrnbol for "[email protected] kh' k %?I= kho, !Y = suk ispirated sound ( sound followed b = kho, ;@ = yuk by a puíf of air when pronounced). 8~9= khong,a8l% = rnek rhus h that follows k p t behaves 9 ng ng YIR= ngarn, WS$= song jccording to the following * One rnust bear in mind that Romanization of Thai in this case ernploys a transcription method, nota transliteration rnethod. Thus, a tone mark, a diacritic rnark including a silencing mark, and vowel length are completely ignored. lt means that one who can transcribe Thai words muct correctly know how to read them orto pronounce them.

  • Choochart Haruechaiyasak, NECTEC, THAILAND
    Plangsarn: Thai Romanization Library Application Srichan Chancheewa, THAMMASAT UNIVERSITYDr. Choochart Haruechaiyasak, NECTEC, THAILAND Why do we need this application? before after Background and Motivation • Romanization is the representation of a written word or spoken speech with the Roman (Latin) script. • Two main methods of romanization are (1) Transliteration: for representing written text, (2) Transcription: for representing the spoken word, (2.1) phonemic transcription: records the phonemes or units of semantic meaning in speech (2.2) phonetic transcription: records speech sounds with precision. Background and Motivation • Phonetic transcription attempts to depict all phones in the source language. • We adopt the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). • IPA is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. • IPA was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of oral language. • IPA symbols are composed of one or more elements of two basic types, letters and diacritics. Background and Motivation • For library cataloging, there is a guideline for preparing romanization: –ALA-LC Romanization Tables: Transliteration Schemes for Non-Roman Scripts, which is approved by the Library of Congress and the American Library Association. –ALA-LC is a set of standards for romanization, or the representation of text in other writing systems using the Latin alphabet. Objective • Design and implement a system for automatically romanizing Thai texts with the focus on bibliographic data. • The system is intended to support librarians who perform the cataloguing task. • The system is called Plangsarn (แปลงสาส์น). –plang (แปลง) = transform –sarn (สาส์น) = text, message Plangsarn’s System Architecture • Lexicon contains Thai word list with romanization.

    Editorial It is my pleasure to inform our readers that NIDA Journal of Language and Communication has recently been placed in Thai-Journal Citation Index Centre (TCI)’s tier 1 in May 2015. This national assessment was intended to provide the standardized evaluation of Thailand-based academic journals and to ensure that listed journals meet a strict set of quality assessment criteria. This achievement reflects our long-term commitment to make this journal an academic space addressing the interplay between language and communication. All five articles selected for this issue represent the current research interests on language and communication. Jantarawan Samransamruajkit’s article - Factor Analysis of Polite Refusal Strategies in Multicultural Corporations - investigates seven politeness strategies in refusal situations among 200 Western and Asian employees working for 22 multicultural corporations in Thailand. She posits that while indirectness is mainly used by all of her informants, norms and society are two most important factors influencing different types of politeness strategies employed by the informants. Aimed to examine jealous expressions and face saving strategies employed by Thai heterosexual couples, Chayapa Srivilas and Jaray Singhakowinta’s paper - Gender Differences in Face Concerns and Behavioral Responses to Romantic Jealousy - provides a research model to analyze if gender influences romantic couples’ face saving strategies and communicative responses to jealousy. Their findings reveal that men than women have reported to be concerned about other-face saving in jealous experience. Ketkanda Jaturongkachoke and Supamit Chanseawrassamee’s article - Decipherment or Whole Language Approach: Empirical Evidence – survey students of an academic English reading course at a graduate school in Thailand whether they prefer “decipherment” or “whole language”.

  • Reversibility of Romanization Systems
    United Nations E/CONF.101/141 Economic and Social Council Distr.: General 26 June 2012 Original: English Tenth United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names New York, 31 July – 9 August 2012 Item 13(a) of the provisional agenda* Writing systems and pronunciation: Romanization Reversibility of Romanization systems Submitted by Estonia ** * E/CONF.101/1. ** Prepared by Peeter Päll (Estonia). Reversibility of romanization systems1 Introduction Romanization systems, i.e. systems for rendering non-Roman elements in Roman script, are created for multiple purposes and therefore it would be impossible to work out universal requirements. In bibliographic records, e.g., it would be important to render all the nuances of the original script, and therefore stringent transliterations, approved by ISO, are used. Romanization systems for names, however, whether personal or geographical names, tend to be more oriented towards practical needs, contending with more or less satisfactory pronunciation of names. In non-Roman scripts where one and the same sound is spelled with different characters, these characters are often romanized with the same Roman equivalent as well. It seems that there are two important questions that we need to ask when evaluating every romanization system: 1) how well does the system represent phonological features of the language? (phonological appropriateness) and 2) how well does the system represent graphical features of the language? (reversibility criterion). Most of the United Nations approved romanization systems for geographical names represent quite adequately the phonological structure of the source language, omitting only features that are difficult to reproduce in other languages context (for example, tones in Chinese or Thai names).
