    A cognitive linguistic approach to English, Chinese and Thai spatial terms: the case of on, shangand bon
    (Bangkok : Assumption University Press, 2022) Triporn Kasempremchit
    The objective of this article is to compare the English spatial term on, the Chinese spatial term shang and the Thai spatial term bon from the cognitive linguistic perspective. These three spatial terms share a basic meaning of the position on the surface of something. However, the extended usages of these three terms are relatively different. In analyzing the differences between these three terms, sample sentences of English, Chinese, and Thai are collected from three corpora. The corpora used are British National Corpus by Oxford University (2021) for English sentences, Modern Chinse CCL Corpus by Peking University (2021) for Chinese sentences, and Thai National Corpus by Chulalongkorn University (2021) for Thai sentences. Data collected from the corpora are analyzed and discussed. The cognitive linguistic approach is adopted in the discussion. Concepts of spatial relations and meaning, proto-scene, polysemy words, and the semantic network of these three spatial terms are discussed in this article. The result of the analysis can be applied to spatial terms in teaching and learning. Since the difference between languages should be emphasized during classes, some negative transfers may be prevented. In addition, foreign students will have a better understanding of the terms studied in the foreign language classes.

    A comparative study of technology-based motivation for learning English as a foreign language among Thai learners at Wall Street English Bangkok according to their gender and English language proficiency
    (Bangkok : Assumption University Press, 2022) Vojdani, Mehdi ; Gonzalez, Orlando Rafael Gonzalez
    The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which new technologies, such as the Internet or social media, served as sources of motivation for Thai English language learners to learn English as a foreign language (EFL) at Wall Street English (WSE) Bangkok. The study also sought to compare learners’ technology-based motivation for learning EFL based on their gender and English language proficiency. For these purposes, the researchers adopted a quantitative comparative research design, using a questionnaire that was developed, piloted, validated, and checked for internal consistency. The questionnaire was administered to 214 Thai English language learners from all four levels of proficiency (beginner, pre-intermediate, intermediate, and advanced) from 11 centers of WSE in Bangkok. After splitting the collected data by gender, an independent samples t-test was conducted to assess the significance of the results. At the same time, a one-way ANOVA test was used after splitting the collected data by English language proficiency to determine if there was a significant difference in technology-based motivation for learning EFL among the resulting groups. The research findings indicated that Thai learners were highly motivated to learn English to work with technology more effectively, regardless of their gender or English language proficiency. No significant difference in technology-based motivation for learning EFL between male and female Thai learners was derived from the data analysis. However, in relation to English language proficiency, it was found that the overall technology-based motivation for learning EFL was significantly higher in the beginner group than in the advanced group, as well as in the upper-intermediate group than in the advanced group.
