The Use of Algorithm System Model in Teaching English to Thai Students

Abstract

          At present, artificial intelligence technology has been used in English teaching in Thailand in support of learners’ performance. In this study, the researcher aimed to (1) develop an algorithm system model for teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to Thai students at the lower secondary level, and (2) study the effect of the algorithm system model on Thai students’ learning outcome under study. The study was a quasi-experimental research using a pre- and posttest (One Group Pretest-Posttest Design) with lower secondary students. The research tool was an algorithm system model developed for teaching English to the students under study. The tool quality was obtained with a reliability coefficient of 0.97. The results showed that the learning outcome of the students from the algorithm system model in the posttest was higher than that in the pretest, and both overall and in all individual aspects were significant at the 05 level.
