Abstract
The purposes of this study were: 1) to study and compare the English vocabulary learning ability before and after learning using communicative language teaching (CLT) and activity-based learning (ABL), 2) to study the English vocabulary retention after learning using CLT and ABL, and 3) to investigate the students’ attitude towards teaching English vocabulary through CLT and ABL. The sample consisted of 20 Prathomsuksa 5 students at Bannongkungnongchareon School in Kutchap District, Udon Thani Province, in the first semester of the 2023 academic year. The students are selected via cluster random sampling. The research was experimental research with a group pretest-posttest design. The research instruments included 12 lesson plans, an English vocabulary ability test, and an attitude questionnaire. The experiment lasted 12 weeks, 2 hours a week, or 24 hours for all. The mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test for dependent samples were used for data analysis. The findings revealed: 1) Students' pretest and posttest mean scores on English vocabulary learning ability were 20.11 (40.23%) and 39.66 (79.32%), respectively. The posttest mean score exceeded the 70% criterion and the pretest score. 2) The average initial and subsequent posttests scores were 39.66 and 39.22, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed no notable variances in mean scores between the two tests. Students demonstrated retention of English vocabulary learned through CLT and ABL. 3) Students' attitude towards teaching English vocabulary with CLT and ABL was highly positive, as evidenced by a mean score of 4.67
