The Development of Listening and Speaking English Ability for Communication Using Active Learning Based on GPAS 5 Steps Model with Augmented Reality of Grade 6 Students

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop English listening skills for communication based on the Active Learning concept using the GPAS 5 Steps model with augmented reality (AR) to have students with an average score not less than 70 percent and several students who passed the criteria of 70 percent or more, and 2) develop English speaking skills for communication-based on the Active Learning concept using the GPAS 5 Steps model with augmented reality (AR) to have students with an average score not less than 70 percent and many students who passed the criteria of 70 percent or more. The target group was 38 Grade 6 students of Khon Kaen University Demonstration Elementary School, (Suksasart) who were studying in the first semester of the academic year 2024 using the action research model. The research instruments are divided into 3 types: 1) The research instruments consist of 6 learning management plans based on the Active Learning concept with Augmented Reality (AR) for 12 hours. 2) The instruments reflected the research results consist of (1) Teacher behavior observation form (2) Student behavior observation form (3) Student interview form (4) Learning activity form (5) English listening ability test for communication at the end of the cycle (6) English speaking ability test for communication at the end of the cycle. Section 3) The instruments evaluated the efficiency of learning management consists of (1) an English listening ability test for communication at the end of the cycle and (2) an English speaking ability test for communication at the end of the cycle. The research found that 1) Students had English listening ability scores for communication. There was an average of 11.95, which is 79.65 percent of the full score, and 27 students were passing the criteria, 71.05 percent of the total number of students, which is higher than the specified criteria. 2) Students had an English-speaking ability score for communication, with an average of 11.92, which is 79.47 percent of the full score, and 30 students passed the criteria, which is 78.95 percent of the total number of students, which is higher than the specified criteria.
