4. Speaking Skill

Speaking skill

Speaking is a behavior of expression. Since Thai people do not speak English in daily life, English speaking seem to be difficult in terms of pronunciation or accent correctly. If students frequency practice, it may often do well too. Although their accent is wrong, Students should focus on trying to communicate with the right meaning. In addition to voice or accent and vocabulary, including grammar, methods of the relationship between sentences. As well as the use of communication gesture.
ทักษะการพูด เป็นพฤติกรรมทางด้านการแสดงออก เนื่องจากคนไทยมิใช่ชนชาติที่ใช้ภาษาอังกฤษในชีวิตประจำวัน ทักษะการพูดภาษาอังกฤษจึงอาจเป็นทักษะที่ดูเหมือนค่อนข้างจะยาก และด้านของการออกเสียงหรือสำเนียงให้ถูกต้อง แต่หากผู้เรียนมีความพากเพียร พยายามหมั่นฝึกฝนบ่อย ๆ ก็อาจสามารถทำได้ดีเช่นเดียวกัน แต่ถึงแม้ว่าจะออกเสียงผิดเพี้ยนไปบ้าง ผู้เรียนก็ควรให้ความสำคัญต่อการพยายามสื่อสารให้ได้ความหมายมากที่สุด องค์ประกอบสำคัญ นอกจากเสียงหรือสำเนียงแล้ว ได้แก่ ศัพท์ ไวยากรณ์ ระเบียบวิธีของความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างประโยค ตลอดจนการใช้กริยา ท่าทาง ประกอบในการสื่อสาร

5. CBI Model

CBI Model

Content based instruction (CBI) is a teaching method that emphasizes learning about something rather than learning about language. Although CBI is not new, there has been an increased interest in it over the last ten years, particularly in the USA and Canada where it has proven very effective in ESL immersion programs. This interest has now spread to EFL classrooms around the world where teachers are discovering that their students like CBI and are excited to learn English this way.

CBI is an effective method of combining language and content learning. Theme based CBI works well in EFL contexts, and I believe its use will increase as teachers continue to design new syllabi in response to student needs and interests. As I said at the beginning, I believe that learner motivation increases when students are learning about something, rather than just studying language. Theme based CBI is particularly appealing in this respect because teachers can use almost any content materials that they feel their students will enjoy. What can be better than seeing our students create something and learn language at the same time?

6. LISTENING SKILLS

LISTENING SKILLS

We were given two ears but only one mouth.

This is because God knew that listening was twice as hard as talking.

People need to practice and acquire skills to be good listeners, because a speaker cannot throw you information in the same manner that a dart player tosses a dart at a passive dartboard. Information is an intangible substance that must be sent by the speaker and received by an active listener.

THE FACE IT SOLUTION FOR EFFECTIVE LISTENING

Many people are familiar with the scene of the child standing in front of dad, just bursting to tell him what happened in school that day. Unfortunately, dad has the paper in front of his face and even when he drops the paper down half-way, it is visibly apparent that he is not really listening.

A student solved the problem of getting dad to listen from behind his protective paper wall. Her solution was to say, "Move your face, dad, when I'm talking to you.'' This simple solution will force even the poorest listener to adopt effective listening skills because it captures the essence of good listening.

7. CLIL Model

CLIL Model

Integration means bringing science or knowledge of various related subjects together, or blend harmoniously, in order to organize the teaching and learning under the same topic together for higher efficiency. With an emphasis on holistic knowledge than contents each of course, and focused on the knowledge of learners over the content is determined by the teacher.
Key features of the integrated approach
1. The integration process between knowledge and practice.
2. The integration of the subjects harmoniously.
3. The integration between what they have learned to real life.
4. The integration to provide redundancy of content.
5. The integration of the relationship between concepts of different subjects to make learning meaningful.

Benefits of Integration
1. A course application or other sciences linked together under the same topic.

2. It occurred to the students studying in depth and similar to real

life.

3. Helps students gain knowledge and understanding in a holistic

way.

4. Allows students to seek knowledge and understanding of things

around them.

5. An approach that allows teachers to work together, or coordinate

with each other happily.

6. Promoting the teachers to figure out how to apply new

techniques.

8. Cooperative Learing

Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. Students work through the assignment until all group members successfully understand and complete it.

Why use Cooperative Learning?

Research has shown that cooperative learning techniques:

· promote student learning and academic achievement

· increase student retention

· enhance student satisfaction with their learning experience

· help students develop skills in oral communication

· develop students' social skills

· promote student self-esteem

· help to promote positive race relations

5 Elements of Cooperative Learning

It is only under certain conditions that cooperative efforts may be expected to be more productive than competitive and individualistic efforts. Those conditions are:

1. Positive Interdependence

2. Face-to-Face Interaction

3. Individual &Group Accountability

4. Interpersonal &Small-Group Skills

5. Group Processing

9. B - Slim Model

B-slim model

B-SLIM approach is a form of teaching English as a second language to focus on communication. By combine Principle and the concepts theory developing intelligence by Piaget, theory of developing intelligence by Vygotsky, and the theory of learning by discovery by Bruner (Discovery Aproach), which Olenka Bilash is designed teaching methods (B-Slim Overview.) ideas about teaching English for communication (Communicative Language Teaching). The purpose of teaching is to focus communicate in English to enable learners to use language, that students understand the communication between each other. Most people believe that if the students know the structure and vocabulary, they will be able to use language to communicate. But the fact that although the students learn the structure of languages, they can’t talk or communicate with foreigners, or used in a way that native language does not. As a result, linguists and those involved in teaching foreign languages has developed a concept of teaching a foreign language to communicate more.
