However, despite the high efficiency and the ability of AI to generate new content from existing data, it still has limitations in terms of ethics, transparency, and risks of replacing human labor. Moreover, AI cannot substitute the role of teachers in nurturing moral values, inspiring students, and fostering lively human interactions between teachers and learners. This article suggests that AI should be perceived as a “tool” to enhance teaching and learning efficiency, not as a complete replacement for humans. The survival of teachers in the AI era depends on adaptability, continuous learning, and critical use of technology with the aim of enhancing the quality of life and humanity of learners in the long term.</p> Duangporn Dharma Copyright (c) 2026 Academic Journal of Mahamakut Buddhist University Roi Et Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 2025-08-22 2025-08-22 15 1 168 178 TEACHING THAI LANGUAGE BASED ON 21ST CENTURY COMPETENCIES: INNOVATIVE LEARNING FOR DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AJMBU/article/view/286739 <p> This academic article aims to analyze competency-based Thai language teaching approaches in the 21st-century context, focusing on developing innovative learning that promotes quality digital citizenship amidst the challenges of technological changes affecting learners' language use. The article presents five key competencies that must be integrated into Thai language teaching: 1) Learning and Innovation Skills (4C), 2) Information, Media, and Technology (ICT) Literacy, 3) Life and Career Skills, 4) Specific Thai Language Competencies, and 5) Digital Citizenship. The study found that the transition from traditional rote learning to competency-based teaching requires active learning innovations such as problem-based learning (PBL), project-based learning (PjBL), digital technology to enhance learning, and flipped classrooms. These technologies allow learners to practice analytical thinking, fact-checking on social media, and creative and ethical communication. Furthermore, the article presents approaches to creating new forms of language-based work, such as podcasts and infographics, coupled with authentic assessment using rubrics that comprehensively reflect learner competencies. The analysis indicates that. Competency-based Thai language instruction has the potential to develop learners' language skills, and information skills, and digital skills comprehensively. It enables learners to use language to think, communicate, and participate effectively and responsibly in the digital society.</p> Phra Piyanat Kittisophano (Pansri) Copyright (c) 2026 Academic Journal of Mahamakut Buddhist University Roi Et Campus https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 2026-06-18 2026-06-18 15 1 179 189 THE DEVELOPMENT OF READING INTERPRETATION BY TEACHING THAI LANGUAGE THROUGH LITERATURE FOR MATHAYOMSUKSA 2 STUDENTS https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/AJMBU/article/view/281354 <p>The purposes of this research were 1) compare the reading interpretation by teaching Thai language through literature for Mathayomsuksa 2 students during Pretest and Posttest learning 2) examine students’ satisfaction of teaching Thai language through literature.
