This research is a quantitative study aimed at 1) exploring the needs regarding essential characteristics and skills of undergraduate students from the School of Political and Social Sciences from the perspectives of enterprises, and 2) developing preparation activities for the students prior to entering their actual internships. The research instrument was a questionnaire used to collect data from a purposively selected sample of 283 internship personnel. Descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis. The results of the study revealed that. The majority of the respondents were from public sector organizations (87.6%). Regarding the assessment of needs for essential characteristics and skills based on the 2022 Higher Education Qualification Standards across four dimensions, the most critical elements identified in each dimension were as follows for the knowledge dimension, enterprises required students to demonstrate enthusiasm, observation, inquisitiveness, and further research (29.7%) for the skill dimension, teamwork and adaptability to the environment were highly required (27.6%) for the ethics dimension, compliance with organizational regulations and punctuality were emphasized (29.7%) and for the personal characteristics dimension, public-mindedness and active participation in organizational activities were required (28.6%). Regarding the development of internship preparation activities based on the feedback received, the designed framework consisted of 3 activities and 1 project: Knowledge and Public Sector Regulations Preparation Activity, Teamwork and Organizational Adaptability Development Activity, Digital Skills for Work Workshop, and the School's Internship System Development Project. Furthermore, the overall evaluation of satisfaction toward the internship support system and activities was at the highest level
( x̄ = 4.49, S.D. = 0.67). The item with the highest mean was the process of requesting cooperation for student internships and the acceptance form with clear, detailed steps (x̄ = 4.56, S.D. = 0.67). Conversely, the faculty's coordination channels and service speed received the lowest mean yet remained at the highest satisfaction level (x̄ =4.33, S.D.=0.72).

Potential Development Model for Community Technician Innovators in Na In Subdistrict, Phichai District, Uttaradit Province

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The objectives of this research were to 1) examine the capacity development needs, 2) assess the capacity levels, and 3) develop the capacity of prototype community technician innovators in Na-In Sub-district, Phichai District, Uttaradit Province. A mixed-methods research design was employed, comprising qualitative research, quantitative research, and action research, conducted with a single unified population. Participants were purposively selected from members of the Ban Na-In Integrated Sufficiency Agriculture Community Enterprise who served as community technician innovators, totaling 13 individuals.
The qualitative research utilized in-depth interviews to explore capacity development needs across seven dimensions: practical implementation, appropriate design, problem understanding, participation, development, income generation and community economic promotion, and scaling based on sufficiency and sustainable development. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The quantitative research employed an opinion assessment instrument to evaluate capacity levels across the same seven dimensions. Data were analyzed using means and standard deviations. The action research incorporated seven capacity development activities corresponding to the dimensions, utilizing participatory observation. Data were analyzed through content analysis, and a capacity level assessment instrument was administered to enable comparative analysis of differences between pre- and post-development outcomes. The findings revealed that post-development capacity levels increased significantly across all dimensions at the .05 level of statistical significance. The dimension demonstrating the greatest improvement was practical implementation ( = 4.38, = 0.40), followed by appropriate design ( = 4.29, = 0.45) and participation ( = 4.21, = 0.36). The dimension requiring continued development was scaling based on sufficiency and sustainable development ( = 3.68, = 0.21), which exhibited the least improvement, with certain items remaining at a moderate level. These findings reflect that capacity represents an ability that can be developed and enhanced toward proficiency through training processes, learning, and practice.

A Study of Sexuality Meanings and Sexual Behaviors among Female University Students in the Lower Northern Region of Thailand

สมศรี คะสัน — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The objectives of this research were to 1) examine the socialization processes influencing female university students' meanings, thoughts, and beliefs regarding sexuality; 2) explore the meanings and perspectives on sexuality as constructed by female university students; and 3) investigate the sexual
well-being experiences of female university students in the Lower Northern Region of Thailand. A mixed-methods research design was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were examined through content analysis and interpretive analysis. The findings revealed that female university students continue to be influenced by traditional social values, such as the belief that sexual intercourse should not occur at an early age and that women should conform to conventional gender roles. At the same time, participants defined sexuality as a multidimensional concept encompassing love, relationships, emotions, and sexual diversity. These perspectives reflect ongoing social changes and
the influence of digital media in contemporary society. Regarding the process of socialization, the study found that family, educational institutions, peers, and online media collectively shape students’ attitudes and sexual behaviors. Families that promote open communication and positive learning about sexuality contribute to greater sexual knowledge and more appropriate sexual behaviors among female students. In contrast, schools tend to emphasize academic and biological aspects of sex education rather than
its social and emotional dimensions. Peers and online media emerged as important sources of information regarding sexuality. In terms of sexual well-being experiences, most participants reported initiating sexual intercourse between the ages of 18 and 19, typically within the context of romantic relationships. Some participants engaged in risky sexual behaviors, such as not using condoms during their first sexual experience (54.8%). However, the majority demonstrated increasing awareness and knowledge regarding sexual health and protection. The findings suggest that female students’ sexuality is shaped
by multiple interconnected factors, including family, society, culture, education, and digital media. Therefore, promoting sexual well-being should adopt a holistic approach that enhances knowledge, attitudes, and decision-making skills related to sexuality, enabling young women to engage in safe, responsible, and healthy sexual behaviors.

Learner Silence and Strategic Pausing in Thai EFL Classrooms: A Conversation Analysis–Informed Study

Waraporn Mingkwan, Phanintra Teeranon — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The objective of this research was to investigate interactional challenges in Thai EFL classrooms, particularly learner silence and anxiety during interactions with foreign instructors, through the integration of Conversation Analysis (CA) and Classroom Interactional Competence (CIC). This study adopted
a qualitative, Conversation Analysis (CA)-based approach, analyzing classroom interaction data from
28 English major students categorized into high, intermediate, and low proficiency levels. The findings revealed a significant disparity in interactional patterns; low-proficiency learners exhibited a silence-to-turn ratio nearly three times higher than their high-proficiency counterparts, with average pauses exceeding 2.0 seconds. While silence among high-proficiency learners functioned as cognitive processing for self-repair,
it often resulted in interactional breakdowns among lower-proficiency learners. Based on these empirical findings, the study developed a Conversation Analysis–informed pedagogical framework centered on “Strategic Pausing.” The framework includes four key guidelines: differentiating wait-time based on proficiency levels, utilizing interactional fillers to support turn-holding, employing face-sensitive repair strategies, and balancing teacher-student talk time. This framework reconceptualizes classroom silence as an interactional resource and provides a data-driven foundation for enhancing Classroom Interactional Competence (CIC) in Thai EFL contexts.

Word Formation Strategies and Origins of Chinese Slang in the Xiaohongshu Application

Kwandaw Mayou, Arita Samarat — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The objective of this research was to examine the word formation strategies and origins of Chinese slang in the Xiaohongshu (小红书) application. Data were collected using purposive sampling, yielding
a total of 121 examples comprising words, phrases, and clauses in actual use on the platform. The study employed word formation theory (Yule, 2010) as an overarching theoretical framework, along with sociolinguistics and the concept of group language as analytical frameworks. The findings revealed that Chinese slang word formation strategies could be classified into seven types: 1) coinage of new words,
2) semantic extension of existing words, 3) word abbreviation or truncation, 4) phonetic substitution using homophones, 5) numeric encoding for conceptual representation, 6) integration of vocabulary from foreign languages, and 7) hybridization of English and Chinese linguistic elements. Furthermore, the origins of Chinese slang expressions can be divided into five categories: 1) socially resonant trends or phenomena,
2) cultural influence exerted by public figures, 3) entertainment media and internet culture, 4) influence of regional dialects, and 5) influence of foreign languages. The findings of this study can serve as a reference for further related research, as well as supplementary material for the teaching and learning of Chinese slang.

alissara kaewckanate, Uamporn Thipdet, Bundit Thipdet, Vajrindra Kaencandra — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research article aims to analyze the ideologies that appear in rap music discourse from the program THE RAPPER Season 1 and 2 between the years 2018-2019, totaling 186 songs. Employing
a qualitative research methodology, this study adopts Fairclough’s (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, integrated with the concepts of Chantima Angkapanichkit (2018) and Van Dijk (2003).
The research results found that there are 7 ideologies appearing in the rap songs, namely: childhood ideology, poor people ideology, gender ideology, state ideology, Thailand ideology, urban and rural ideology, and teacher ideology. In addition, 9 linguistic strategies in constructing ideologies were found, namely: lexical strategy, presupposition, denial, mystification or mitigation, speech acts, metaphor, irony, intertextuality, and rhetorical questions. From the said research results, it indicates that rap music is a tool that conveys the ideologies hidden under the ingenious use of language and reflects the relationship between language, power, and ideology.

Home English Literacy Environment in Thailand: A Conceptual Model of Parental Support in EFL Contexts

UBOLRAT POONSUP — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700

English language learning among Thai children in an English as a foreign language (EFL) context
continues to rely largely on classroom instruction, while the contribution of families to children's English
learning remains underexplored. Although research on the Home Literacy Environment ( HLE) ,
predominantly conducted in first-language contexts, has consistently demonstrated positive links between
home experiences and children’s language and literacy development, a dedicated conceptual framework
for EFL family contexts remains scarce. This conceptual paper reviews relevant literature and introduces
the Home English LiteracyEnvironment (HELE), a framework that brings together parental cognitive–linguistic
factors, affective– motivational factors, structural and contextual influences, and language- related
interactions within the family to explain children’ s language and literacy outcomes. This conceptual
framework can be used to guide future research, the development of measurement instruments, and the
design of parental support initiatives in collaboration with relevant organizations to promote children's
English language learning in Thai family contexts.
