The use of constructionism to improve english understanding and speaking skills of rural students in Thailand

Abstract

© 2016 International Information Institute. This research analyzed the lack of English proficiency in listening and speaking for young Thai students in primary school. The objective of this research is to focus on how effective the "Constructionism in Learning" Theory can be applied to improve the performance of English understanding and speaking of Thai primary school students. In our approach we change the normal classroom to a smart classroom with technology tools and change the context to be more suitable to the Thai learning environment. We found that most students under the experiment showed a positive improvement in English vocabulary and English grammatical structure.
