The samples were 31 first-year students, majoring in Early Childhood Education, Suan Dusit University, Lampang Center. The research instruments used for gathering data consisted of 1) a questionnaire of students’ requirement for English learning activities, 2) a self-assessment check-list of students’ behaviors, 3) pre-posttest for achievement assessment of students with active learning based on generational concept, and 4) a satisfactory assessment of students with active learning based on generational concept. The research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with Mean and Percentage. The results of the study were found that the students' requirement for learning activities with active learning were at the high level (= 3.96, SD = 0.50). The three most student’ requirements for active learning activities are: Brainstorming that encouraged the students to think together (= 4.26, SD = 0.68).
