คำอังกฤษในภาษาไทย (English Loanwords In Thai), สุไร พงษ์ทองเจริญ

PASAA

There are numerous loanwords in Thai which come from different origins. The analysis to be presented in this paper covers only the words borrowed from English. The corpus consists of about 400 words generally used in evreyday language. The great majority of the words exhibit patterns of change, mostly in sound — from the sound patterns of English to Thai. The change occurs because the speaker using the words has the feeling that he is speaking Thai. The types of change found in the data can be classified as consonant, vowel and stressed syllable changes, addition of tones, word clipping, …

การสอนภาษาอังกฤษในประเทศไทย : เราจะไปทางไหนกัน? (Tefl In Thailand : Where Do We Go From Here?), ประพาศน์ พฤทธิประภา

PASAA

This paper reviews some relevant literature concerned with the polimical question of optimum age for secondary language learning. It is suggested that 'time,' not 'age,' is a more important factor. The discussion includes the current Canadian research on what combination and permutation of age, time, and approach to secondary language learning will prove to be most effective. "เราทราบกันมานานแล้วว่าครูที่สอนภาษาอังกฤษในโรงเรียนประถมศึกษาทั่วประเทศรู้ภาษาอังกฤษไม่พอที่จะสอนให้ถูกต้อง...แต่ เราก็พอใจกันที่จะให้นักเรียนเรียนอย่างไม่ถกต้อง... เรามีปรัชญา งู ๆ ปลา ๆ เพราะฉะนั้นสิ่งที่ควรกระทำคือ พิจารณาปรัชญาว่าเรา สอนภาษาอังกฤษเพี่อประโยชน์อันใด เพื่อใคร เพี่อผู้เรียนหรือเพี่อ ผู้สอนหรือเพี่อผู้ปกครอง หรือเพื่อเจ้าของโรงเรียน..."

The Hollow Of Echoes, Kathleen Danker, Felix White Sr.

Department of English: Faculty Publications

The Hollow of Echoes is the result of collaboration between Mr. Felix White, Sr. and myself. Mr. White, who resides in Winnebago, Nebraska, is knowledgeable in many areas of traditional Winnebago culture including language, history, legends and law. During the spring of 1973, he recounted to me a number of Winnebago legends of which I made recordings. I have incorporated these legends into a fictional account of a present-day Winnebago grandfather using the stories to instruct his grandchildren in traditional ways of viewing situations they encounter in their daily lives. Almost all of the views of the grandfather in the …

At the present time linguists, language teachers, and supervisors seem to agree that English should be taught for special purposes. By this is meant that students of different disciplines should concentrate on certain vocabulary and structures most often found in their texts, while vocabulary and structures with less frequency should be less emphasized and scaled accordingly. Many experts at various institutions have suggested the kind of vocabulary and structures which ought to be introduced to science students. In Thailand many institutions have already started programs of teaching scientific English by preparing their own texts. To do this, a great deal …
