This study examines syntactic functions and pragmatic aspects of preposition stranding (PS) and preposition pied-piping (PP) with wh-relativizers as used in English novels. While previous studies focusing on the syntactic functions and pragmatic aspects of PS and PP with wh-relativizers selected the data from international corpora and academic research articles, this study contributes to the perspectives of English novels. The materials in this study were gathered from nine best-seller English novels (www.amazon.com). They are The Power of One (Courteney, 2007), Naked Lunch (Burroughs, 2016), Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Brontë, 2016), Middlemarch (Eliot, 2019), A Class of Kings (Martin, 2019), The Nature of Middle-Earth (Tolkien, 2021), Moby Dick (Melville, 2020), The Promise (Galgut, 2022) and Far from the Madding Crown (Hardy, 2022). Approximately 450,000 words of English novels provided 51 tokens, referring to sentences. The data analysis of PS and PP with wh-relativizers follows Radford’s (2009) generative grammar. The results in this study show that PP with wh-relativizers occurs at 92.16 percent, whilst the occurrences of PS in this study are only 7.84 percent. The syntactic functions of PP with wh-relativizers are always used as adjuncts. The higher frequency of PP with wh-relativizers in English novels is explained by markedness theory and standard English, whereas the lower frequency of PS is due to archaic form and spoken register. It is hoped that the results in this study will be useful for learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) and learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in terms of applying the use of PS and PP with wh-relativizers in writing English novels and writing English short stories accurately and appropriately.

This study aimed to find out whether English major students who had basic knowledge of Linguistics are able to assign word stress to two-syllable, three-syllable and four-syllable English words correctly, whether there is a significant correlation between their competence in recognizing and in producing English word stress, and to determine the factors affecting word stress recognition and production. The participants were 14 second year English major students who had basic knowledge of Linguistics. The data were collected by using a word stress assignment. The participants were assigned to mark the primary stress on 45 words, and read all of them. The results revealed that over 70% of the stress placements of two-syllable, three-syllable and four-syllable English words were correct. For the stress productions, it was found that over 70% of them were correct. It can be assumed that the ability of the students to assign the primary stress to the two-syllable, three-syllable, and four-syllable words correlated with their ability to pronounce them. From the interview, it was found that the differences between English and Thai, the complexity of the syllables, and the inadequate knowledge of syllable structure might be the factors affecting students’ word stress errors.

Seminal research on cultural intelligence is ubiquitous at an organizational level, albeit research at an educational level, especially in a Thai context is scant. Using a quota sample of 426 students, this quantitative paper gathered data from three subgroups in Bangkok: Thai, Chinese and ASEAN from two educational settings. Cultural Intelligence was measured using the “Four Factor Cultural Intelligence” Scale (CQS) of Ang et al., (2007), constituting 20 items, answered on a 7-point Likert-type scale. To measure sociocultural adjustment, the Sociocultural Adaptation Scale (SCAS-R), of Wilson (2013), constituting 21 items, answered on a 5-point Likert-type scale was used. Psychological adjustment was measured using the Psychological Adjustment Scale of Demes and Geeraert (2013), constituting 10 items, answered on a 7-point Likert-type scale. The relationship between the four dimensions of cultural intelligence to academic performance and the relationship of sociocultural adaptation and psychological adjustment as mediators between cultural intelligence and academic performance was hypothesized. Results of Structural Equation Modeling did not support the prediction of the relationship between the four dimensions of cultural intelligence and academic performance of students. The modification indices of the AMOS program testing the relationship between socio-cultural adaptation and psychological adjustment and academic achievement manifested an indirect relationship of the cultural intelligence on the academic achievement via socio-cultural adaptation. Students, who are coached prior to actual immersion in a culture chosen to complete their studies, could alleviate culture shock, adapt better to the new abode and score better grades.

Thailand has been Southeast Asia’s primary migration hub for the past three decades. Although government policies assume that migrants stay temporarily and only for the time they have official permission, Thai policies, and regulations do not seem to stop migrants from staying longer. This study investigates factors related to migrants’ hopes to stay in Thailand longer than officially permitted by focusing on gender and social space. This study examines the hope for a more extended stay in Thailand of migrants from the three neighboring countries, Myanmar, Lao PDR, and Cambodia, and the relationship between gender, social space of migrants, and expected years of stay. The results show that the hopes of migrants regarding their length of stay varied according to several factors, including gender, age, nationality, type of work, duration of stay in Thailand, and social space. Overall, the average length of stay for migrants was 5.4 years. Regarding social space, it was found that women migrants have more outstanding average social space scores than men.

While the time has been ticking, social paradigm and movements towards an individual life, romantic emotions have been playing their crucial roles in support of our happiness and for the sake of living people’s lives in the very-long term. No matter what (your) status is - whether single or married-, our rights and liberties are protected by the Constitution (regardless of different jurisdictions). Meanwhile, they shall not be constitutionally discriminatory as long as such discrimination must not significantly impact social activities. This paper aims to define and underline how important both ‘marital status’ and ‘family establishment’ would be among the diverse sexuality through the lens of recognizable social perceptions as well as modern media. Hence, the aforementioned analysis is to point out that the Thai existing Civil and Commercial Code (CCC) is not in line with the modern social perceptions. This paper also concludes that the CCC’s objectives are obsolete and not responsive to the growing recognition of diverse sexuality, particularly in the Thai society. The CCC was initially drafted to affirm the formation of heterosexual and monogamous family institution. This article argues that reproductivity cannot be a requirement of lawful marriage and a norm for a family institution.

This study aimed to explore principals’ perceptions and current practices in schools to build conducive learning environment. The study employed qualitative research method guided by the constructivist paradigm. The study was conducted in Trashigang District, Bhutan, with 22 principals from February 2022 to July 2022. This study was purely exploratory, and the findings were broadly categorized into six themes: perceptions of a conducive learning environment, current practices in creating a conducive learning environment, managing students’ behavior, organizing the physical ambiance, and managing academic activities. Further, this study presents issues and challenges faced by school leaders. The study’s findings showed that school principals have positive perceptions of a conducive learning environment. The school principals in the study had given some methods to tackle academic, behavioral, and social issues. The study findings will help newly recruited principals create a conducive learning environment. Further, the study’s finding recommends Ministry of Education (MoE) and relevant stakeholders provide professional development to school leaders on behavioral management and enhancement of students’ academic performance. Moreover, the study recommends MoE to see if financial autonomy can be provided to the school. However, study’s finding is from the schools of one District and cannot be generalized. Therefore, future researchers can find the attributes of a conducive learning environment with a more excellent sample to validate the findings.

Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is more commonly used in marketing research because small sample sizes can be used. The main advantage is that the rule of thumb is often used to determine sample size, but the results may be underpowered. Therefore, appropriate sample size is still required to reach the acquired power of 0.80, which should be adequate to avoid false positive and false adverse effects arising from sample sizes that are too large or too small. This research investigates the impact of different sample sizes on the power of analysis, the effect size, and the significance level of the model fitness and parameter estimation process. Many methods are used to generate study sample sizes, such as minimum R2, ten-time rule, inverse square root method, Marsh et al. method, Soper method, and Yamane method. The rule of thumb methods of minimum R2 and ten-time rule generate sample sizes that are too small and inappropriate for PLS-SEM. However, the findings have shown that PLS-SEM can be effective with small sample sizes, but the sample size should be more significant than that generated by the rule-of –thumb methods. The appropriate sample size for this study was 50, with a power of 0.81 and an effect size (f2) ranging between 0.437 and 0.506.

The discourse on online collaborative learning in thesis writing has received less attention despite numerous studies which explored learning in the online milieu. Hence, this study aimed to fathom the Online Collaborative Learning (OCL) experiences in undergraduate thesis writing of Bachelor of Arts in Communication and English Language students in a prime state university in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. Notably, this study focused on undergraduate students’ benefits, challenges, and suggestions. Employing qualitative phenomenological research, the data were gathered through semi-structured one-on-one in-depth interviews. They were analyzed following the phases of thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke (2006). Ergo, the following themes were generated. First, the benefits included joint responsibility, which envelopes (a) a divided workload and (b) shared ideas and flexible communication. Second, the challenges were composed of external problems that bracket (a) work and school demands, (b) vague instructions, and (c) limited access and member performance issues which involve background knowledge, low quality outputs, and a lack of participation. Finally, the suggestions were engagement particularly recognizing responsibility, group dynamics, and guidance. Based on the findings, recommendations are suggested for future research directions.

This article aimed to analyze the construction of teacher-ness identities in contemporary Thai films. The Thai teacher-ness identities represented in films were a unit of cultural analysis in contemporary popular culture, a methodological approach informed by British Cultural Studies. The researcher analyzed the texts of nine teacher-related films released in cinemas between 1977 and 2017, under the theoretical framework of the construction of social realities. The findings indicated that teacher representations were presented in three ways: 1) the ideal teacher-ness, 2) the negotiation with the ideal teacher-ness, and 3) the non-ideal teacher-ness. In general, teacher characters were created to exhibit consistent and different from the social realities. However, the representations of teacher-ness identities that appear in films have not kept pace with the changes in teacher-ness identities in the real world, due to the political, socio-cultural, and ideological landscape in Thailand, which has undergone enormous changes. The representations of teacher-ness identities thus need to be transformed in accordance with those changes. The influence of changing social realities of teacher-ness as well as competing for hegemonic discourses in the teaching profession, in particular, and teacher education, in general, plays a critical role in shaping the representations of those teachers. In addition, film, as one of the socio-cultural institutions, tend to produce and reproduce teacher-ness identities to be in line with social norms and expectations.
