Abstract

This research aimed to achieve two main objectives: (1) to assess the learning achievements in online task-based language learning, and (2) to evaluate satisfaction with the utilization of the online task-based language learning model. The study’s population comprised Buddhist monk students from four provinces in Thailand: Chiang Rai, Phrae, Phayao, and Nan. A total of 80 participants took part in a 30-hour English language training program that focused on task-based language teaching (TBLT) implemented through online technology to enhance Thai monks’ speaking performance. Zoom and free online tools such as Pronunciation Checker App were integrated into the TBL learning cycle to deliver this online training. The research process can be summarized four stages consisting of orientation stage, pre-practicing stage, practicing stage, and post-practicing stage. The comparison of learning outcomes before and after the implementation of the instructional model for monks revealed a significant difference in the average scores. The overall score before training was 38.78 (S.D. = 5.85), while the post-training learning outcomes had a higher average score of 47.34 (S.D. = 4.99). The assessment of satisfaction was divided into four dimensions: (1) content and language usage; (2) English instructional activities for monks; (3) teaching and learning process; and (4) development of English-speaking skills. Overall, participants expressed high levels of satisfaction across all four dimensions of the instructional design approach, with a mean rating of 4.49 and a standard deviation of 0.56.

基于任务的在线语言学习提高泰国僧侣的口语水平
本研究旨在实现两个主要目标:(1) 评估在线任务型语言学习的学习成果;(2) 评估对在线任务型语言学习模式使用的满意度。研究对象包括来自泰国四个府的佛教僧侣学生:研究对象包括来自泰国清莱府、帕府、帕夭府和南府的佛教僧侣学生。共有 80 名学员参加了一个 30 小时的英语培训项目,该项目侧重于通过在线技术实施任务型语言教学 (TBLT),以提高泰国僧侣的口语水平。Zoom 和免费在线工具(如发音检查程序)被整合到 TBL 学习周期中,以提供在线培训。研究过程可概括为四个阶段,包括定向阶段、练习前阶段、练习阶段和练习后阶段。培训前的总得分为 38.78(标准差 = 5.85),而培训后学习成果的平均得分更高,为 47.34(标准差 = 4.99)。满意度评估分为四个方面:(1) 内容和语言使用;(2) 僧侣英语教学活动;(3) 教学和学习过程;(4) 英语技能发展。总体而言,参与者对教学设计方法的四个方面均表示高度满意,平均评分为 4.49,标准差为 0.56。
