Abstract

          This study aimed to: 1) determine the efficiency of English reading comprehension exercises based on CEFR and the MIA for Mathayomsuksa 2 students with the criterion of 75/75; 2) compare the student ability in English reading comprehension before and after learning using English reading comprehension exercises based on CEFR and the MIA, and 3) investigate the Mathayomsuksa 2 student satisfaction with English reading comprehension exercises based on CEFR and the MIA. The samples of this study were 24 Mathayomsuksa 2 students at Princess Chulabhorn Science High School Chiang Rai, Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province, selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments in this study included English reading comprehension exercises, lesson plans, the achievement test, and the satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used to analyze the collected data were the mean, standard deviation, and dependent samples (t-test).
          The research results found that:
          1. The efficiency (E1/E2) of English reading comprehension exercises based on CEFR and the MIA for Mathayomsuksa 2 (Grade 8) students was 84.79/81.94, which was higher than the criterion of 75 / 75.
          2. After the students learned using English reading comprehension exercises based on the CEFR and the MIA, the results showed that their English reading comprehension ability was higher after learning than before, at the 0.05 level of significance.
          3. The students' satisfaction after learning English reading comprehension exercises based on the CEFR and the MIA was at a highest level (equation=4.51, S.D.= 0.68).
