Abstract
This research aimed to analyze multi-level confirmatory factor, factor affecting English listening ability of Grade 9 Students in Private Schools, Chiang Mai Province and to develop and test the validity of a multilevel structural equation modeling of said students. The sample were selected through multi-stage random sampling technique consisted of 1,200 of Grade 9 Students. The research instruments were test of English listening and a scale on factor affecting English listening ability. The data obtained were analyzed using multi–level confirmatory analysis and multi-level structural equation model analysis. The results of the study were as follows:
1. The model of measuring multi-level english listening ability showed construct validity or congruence with empirical data. This could be considered from statistical value used for checking and the model validity including: =0.002, df=1, p-value=0.961, CFI=1.000, TLI=1.016, RMSEA=0.000, SRMRw = 0.000, SRMRb = 0.002, and
/df=0.002.
2. For the result of developing and checking validity of the model of multi-level structural equation modeling of grade 9 students in private schools, Chiang Mai province, it was found that the model was in congruence with empirical data. This could be considered from statistical value used for checking and the model validity including: =895.658, df=374, p=0.000, CFI=0.964, TLI=0.960, RMSEA=0.034, SRMRw = 0.042, SRMRb = 0.568, and
/df =2.394. All of the predictive variables at within level and between level could cooperatively English listening ability at 93.10 and 74.30 percent respectively.
