The Use of Supplementary Exercise Package for Upskilling Reading Consonant Clusters of Chinese Students Learning Thai as a Second Language at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to examine the efficiency of supplementary exercise package for upskilling reading consonant clusters of Chinese students learning Thai as a second language at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University based on the 80/80 standard criteria; and to compare learning achievements before and after the use of supplementary exercise package on reading consonant clusters for Chinese students learning Thai as a second language. The results showed that: 1.) The efficiency examination results of supplementary exercise package on reading consonant clusters for Chinese students learning Thai as a second language were at 88.03/88.22. 2.) The comparison of learning achievements before and after the use of supplementary exercise package on reading consonant clusters for Chinese students learning Thai as a second language at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University indicated the post-learning achievement mean score at 88.22 while the pre-learning achievement mean score was 79.33 meaning that the post-test mean score was higher than that of the pre-test and the progress score was therefore at 8.89 3.) The comparison of pre- and post-learning achievement scores after the use of supplementary exercise package on reading consonant clusters for Chinese students learning Thai as a second language at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University indicated the post-learning achievement mean score was significantly higher than that of pre-learning at the confidence level of .01.
