The Development of English Language Teaching Using Active 3 Ps Teaching Method

Abstract

The objectives of this research study are as follows: 1) To develop teaching methods which encourage classroom participation in related English language courses. 2) To enable English speaking skill. 3) To evaluate students’ satisfaction of the related English courses. A questionnaire was prepared and tested by 5 experts in IOC Evaluation (Index of Item-Objective Congruence) for the study. A purposive sample of 50 undergraduate students from a university in Thailand participated in the study by completing an online questionnaire. The study employed an experimental approach combined with observation and both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The research results showed that the Active 3 Ps Teaching Method led to a high level of classroom participation with a mean score of 3.92 and a standard deviation of 0.08. The English speaking skill was also at a high level with a mean score of 3.70 and a standard deviation of 0.12. Additionally, learning satisfaction was rated at a high level with a mean score of 3.99 and a standard deviation of 0.02. These results indicate that students' English skills are improved significantly with the use of the Active 3 Ps Teaching Method and the method can be applied effectively in further English language teaching development.
