Nuramah Hajikaleng — 2024-12-30

English language teaching in Thailand has traditionally focused more on grammar and reading, which can make students feel disengaged from lessons. This study addresses this issue by focusing on developing English-speaking skills. Numerous studies indicate that many Thai learners struggle with English due to teaching approaches that lack engagement and appeal. Integrating English-language films into English-speaking instruction can enhance student interest and focus, as films are widely recognized as effective and engaging tools for teaching language skills. However, the use of films in English-speaking instruction is not yet widespread in Thailand, particularly in Narathiwat province. This study aimed to examine the effects of integrating English films into English-speaking lessons for vocational students at Narathiwat Technical College. A quasi-experimental design was employed, with a sample of 52 students drawn from two groups enrolled in the same subject course and English examination. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered, and the data were analyzed using the Independent Samples T-test. This study was grounded in Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning. Results indicated a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, suggesting improved speaking skills. These findings highlight the importance of integrating films in English instruction for Thai educators and administrators in this area, as it can positively impact students’ speaking abilities.
