    (Bangkok : Assumption University Press, 2022) Pattama Sinjumpasak ; Nathara Mhunpiew
    This study aimed to develop a leadership model for effective internationalization (IZN) strategies in Thai higher education institutions(HEIs). The study was based on three objectives: 1) To explore the leading factors for internationalization strategies in the global higher education institutions, 2) To validate a proposed leadership model for effective internationalization strategies in Thai higher education institutions, and 3) To verify a leadership model for effective internationalization strategies in Thai higher education institutions. The mixed methods used for this study included documentary review, semi-structured interviews, expert validation, and a questionnaire. 21 experts validated a proposed leadership model for effective IZN strategies in Thai HEIs; it was verified by Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) Regressionof the results from the questionnaire survey on leadership factors and IZN strategies in two Thai private universities. The findings have shown that the experts validated in terms of suitability could apply five leadership factors and 15 IZN strategies toThai HEIs. In addition, other three components, comprising institutional vision, context, and policy and priority, are needed for the successful implementation of IZN. Besides, the results from verifying the modelreflect that all leadership factors have significantly influenced this leadership model.Since leadership in HEIs plays a very crucial role in enhancing effective IZN strategies to achieve their IZN goals. It is recommended that HEIs could use this study as an idea for developing their leadershipmodel for successful IZN strategies that fit their vision, contexts, and priority.

    Brain Circulation: the Issue of Brain Drain and Brain Gain
    (SPR Academic Forum, 2016-08) Nathara Mhunpiew ; Mark Kolenberg
    Nowadays in our modern society, globalization and advanced technology have led to new ways of learning. Until the end of the 20th century, learning occurred particularly through traditional way of learning such as in-class education. Students or learners did not have the choice in the way of learning – in-class or online – they had to go to class and learn in the classroom with teachers and other students. Since the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century new ways of learning have emerged: it is now possible in nowadays modernized society to study and learn outside the classroom thanks to new technologies including internet and social networks. This type of learning is commonly called ‘e-learning’ referring to online education. After reviewing documents, researches, dissertations and theses related to this topic, this article will aim at emphasizing the importance of online learning in today’s society, as well as the difficulties the latter is facing to be used, implemented and developed due to its ‘newness’. When it comes to comparing online education and traditional classroom learning, it seems that the key advantages of online education are flexibility, accessibility and availability at all times and places. These give learners the advantage to get connected to their education wherever they are and whenever they need to, which is not the case for traditional in-class learning. Therefore, online education should be nowadays implemented and developed as much as traditional education, considering its numerous long term advantages and benefits.

    (Latin American Journal of Content and Language Integrated Learning, 2014) Robert McBain ; Nathara Mhunpiew
    This paper presents a research project on content vocabulary instruction with a focus on the development of a model to improve vocabulary learning in a content and language integrated learning (CLIL) environment. The model was based on Cronbach's (1942) and Stahl and Fairbanks' (1986) theories of vocabulary learning, and culminating in a productive stage of specific vocabulary. The model also relates to the analysis of classroom discourse which highlights the importance of a student-centred learning approach, where emphasis is placed on encouraging students to progress more at their own pace and in their own time rather than the circumstances set by the teacher (in light of concerns over the amount of and frequent use of content vocabulary) while studying major theories in content-area studies.
