A Model Developing e-Learning for M.5 English Language Teaching Using Cooperative Learning, Scaffolding and MIAP Learning Process (e-CL ScafMiap)

Abstract

English language learning for most of the Thai students is rather boring, difficult, and not highly motivating because they do not realize the importance of learning a language used globally. These problems affect the effectiveness of learning. Students' achievement in language skills is unsatisfactory. To solve this problem, the teaching and learning of English in traditional classroom should be exciting and more challenging. Electronic media is a suitable alternative to the traditional classroom approach as it promotes students' learning, attracts their attention, motivates them, and keeps them interested for the duration of the lesson. However, the e-learning process should have a learning environment that allows students to use different methods and styles for learning, and offers additional resources to support learning. One of the objectives of this research is to develop an e-learning model for teaching English to M.5 students using cooperative learning, scaffolding and the MIAP learning process. The content design and courseware development processes follow the ADDIE model, and are presented by the MIAP learning process. This model consists of eight modules as follows: student module, teacher module, clustering module, STAD module, content module, communication module, scaffolding module and evaluation module.
