Instructional Material English for Communication Thiratchapon Instructional Material English for Communication Thiratchapon Kamsa-ard M.A. (Applied Linguistics) Office of General Education Udon Thani Rajabhat University 2017 i Preface According to a policy of education, Ministry of Education (2014) aimed to reform about teaching English in Thailand with an international methodology. Office of the Basic Education Commission (2015) proposed the Common European Framework of Reference for language (CEFR) for supporting the effectiveness of Thai students’ English for communication (Office of the Basic Education Commission, 2015). Therefore, this instructional material has been designed and developed in the course of English for communication at Udon Thani Rajabhat University in order to support English teaching and learning in the international standard. Besides, the main focus of this material aims to prepare the learners to be able to participate and learn English in communicative language teaching environment (based on CEFR). The communicative tasks and the activities are designed for enhancing the learners’ learning. The tasks and the activities allow the learners to have opportunity to practice English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills for basic communication in and outside class. The material also provides the conversational dialogues, the useful expressions, vocabulary and language focuses. The learners have opportunity to do the communicative tasks such as information-gap tasks, discussion tasks, and monoloig tasks. They need to work in group, pair and individually. This course also promotes learners’ learning in 21st century. Besides the knowledge that the learners will gain from the course contents, they need to work cooperatively and use interpersonal skills in and outside class. The course contents contain six units. Each unit focuses on a different theme as follows: greetings and introductions, asking and giving directions, describing things, places and people, going shopping, telephoning, and expressing feeling and opinions. I would be grateful for Prof. Nash Jeffry from Udon Thani Rajabhat University who proof-read this instructional material. I am grateful to Prof. John Draper from Khon Kaen University and Prof. Steve Graham from American University of Phnom Penh for your help. This instructional material will not be finished without their help for recording British accent. I have enjoyed working on this instructional material and I hope that it is helpful for improving communication in English.

As a result, the number of oil palm plantations in the Northeast region has been growing, particularly in Nong Khai province. Nong Khai is a relatively remote, predominantly agricultural area and is the field site for this research. However, oil palm production is a complex and hotly contested issue both globally and in Thailand and it has ardent critics and supporters. For example, expanding oil palm production could, on the one hand, contribute to deforestation and a range of social problems that threaten traditional livelihoods, whilst on the other hand it could offer a source of renewable energy, alleviate poverty, and lead to a higher standard of living for farmers.

  • Growth Stages of Newly Established Villages in Northeast Thailand: a Case Study on Villagers’ Origins in the Upper-Middle Watershed of the Songkhram River
    Growth stages of newly established villages in Northeast Thailand: A case study on villagers’ origins in the upper-middle watershed of the Songkhram River NAGATA Yoshikatsu Graduate School for Creative Cities, Osaka City University 3-3-138, Sugimoto, Sumiyoshi, Osaka 558-8585, Japan Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Songkhram River is one of the three major branches of the Mekong River in Northeast Thailand. According to topographic maps of the 1950s, villages were sparsely distributed in its middle and upper watershed, whereas villages were already densely distributed in the middle watershed of the other two major branches, the Chi River and the Mun River. So the watershed of the Songkhram River offered new land for farmers who eagerly desired their own farm land. Brief interviews with senior villagers of newly established villages in this area indicated that most of their original homes had been in the watershed of the Chi River and the Mun River. I conducted household-level surveys in three target villages in the middle and upper watershed of the Songkhram River to obtain information on migration history. Geographical analysis of three important places in their life, i.e., birth, marriage, and current places, suggests four stages in the growth of such new villages. While each of the four stages was of different duration, their pattern was almost similar among the three villages regardless of their location and year of establishment. This similarity may indicate a typical lifetime of a new rural village in this area. 1. INTRODUCTION Watershed of the Songkhram River covers eastern Udon Thani Province, eastern Nong Khai Province, most of Sakon Nakhon Province, and northern Nakhon Phanom Province.

  • The Impact of the Salinity Intrusion in Social, Economy and Environment Dimension of Ban Dung, Udon Thani Area
    THE IMPACT OF THE SALINITY INTRUSION IN SOCIAL, ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT DIMENSION OF BAN DUNG, UDON THANI AREA PALAPIN, PENNAPA Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences SUAN SUNANDHA RAJABHAT UNIVERSITY Email: [email protected] Abstract: This study is aimed to educate the impacts and figure out the solutions for the salinity intrusion in Ban Dung, Udon Thani area. It was done by collecting the information with Qualitative and Quantitative Research; semi-structured interview, focus group discussion and questionnaires. Sample of population is 384 people, consists of Community leader, inhabitants, entrepreneur and agents from government agency. The studied-information is summarized and is debated according to the study’s purpose, and is presented by lecture. The result shows, there are two factors that cause the saline soil and salinity intrusion in Ban Dung district. First one, it’s involved with geology; it’s a low lying areas where the level of the soil surface is lower than the level of the underground salt water. Second, the use of the land by human such as, salt farming without knowledge causes the salinity intrusion to the low lying areas. The salinity intrusion impacts the inhabitants in Ban Dung district, firstly, the economy because the agriculture will stop developing, the agriculturist cannot plant many kind of crops. Then, the income will be limited. Secondly, it impacts the social; there will be disputes and conflicts between the entrepreneur, inhabitants and agriculturist, in case of salt water floats into the area. Furthermore, the impact to the environment is the limited of biodiversity since there are very few plants and animals naturally live in salt water.

  • New Consumers of Thai Halal Products
    NEW CONSUMERS OF THAI HALAL PRODUCTS Pibool Waijittragum1, Khwanchai Sukkon2, Jitima Suathong3, Duangrat Danthainum4 and Supatra Lookraks5 1,2,3,4,5 Department of Graphic and Multimedia Design, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Bangkok, Thailand E-Mail: [email protected], Khwanchai [email protected], Jitima [email protected], Duangrat [email protected], Supatra [email protected], ABSTRACT A millennium generation can be classified as new consumers in the economic system as their consuming behavior has created a marketing opportunity in the modern trade cycle. This research intends to study the consuming behavior of the millennium generation of the Malaysian consumers in order to establish Halal food marketing strategy. An information in the field surveys, research tools, was derived from Malaysian Muslim students residing in Thailand. The consumers’ behaviors in the millennium generation can be characterized as brand ignorant, shopaholics, impersonator, media addicted, trend ignorant, anti-advertising, discount lovers, and marketing lovers. Due to various types of consumer behaviors, the marketing opportunities and a new marketing trend can be created in the modern-day Halal food markets: niche markets. The optimum way to introduce the premium food products into the Halal market is to inform the target consumers about the high-quality ingredients with an outstanding image of modern Halal. The findings of this research reveal the solution to improve the marketing communication for Thai Halal food products. The marketing concepts of Halal food exported to Malaysia should be emphasized on an international theme entwined with Islamic rules. The design of Halal food package in Malaysia tends to be based on the combination between an international feature and an Asian look.
