บทคัดย่อ
The research, A Study of Inflectional Morpheme Errors using IMs Test with Chiang Rai Rajabhat University Students, has two main objectives which are to analyze IMs errors used by CRRU English Major students; and to identify the errors in using IMs as perceived by Chiang Rai Rajabhat University English Major students. The sample group of this study was 31 volunteer students, who enrolled in the academic year 2023, and have not enrolled in any linguistic courses related to the concepts of IMs. There were two instruments used in this study: the IMs test which consisted of 40 multiple-choice questions, and 40 sentence correction questions, including structured interview. The Descriptive statistic and content analysis were used to analyze the data collected.
The results of the study revealed the total percentage score of volunteer students from both the multiple choice and sentence corrections tests which has the average range from below 49% to 59%. The volunteer students with the highest score are 58.57%, whereas the lowest scored 13.75%. Upon considering each test, volunteer students scored the multiple-choice questions test higher than that of the sentence correction test which is 92.5% and 40% respectively. The data from the interview illustrated that the IMs types that students struggled most during the test were Third person singular verb, past participle verb, plural noun, present participle, and past simple.
