How Important Is It for Learners of English to Have an Accent Like Native Speakers?

Kris Phattaraphakin — 2025-03-07

Many Thai learners prioritize learning English with native speakers to achieve native-like pronunciation. This study examines the importance of native accents for English learners, discussing linguistic factors, pronunciation challenges, and second-language learning theories. When a language is widely spoken within a community, multiple dialects emerge. Each dialect has its own characteristics, which are distinct from others. However, people generally think about British and American accents when talking about English accents. The British accent is spoken in the United Kingdom while the American accent is spoken in the United States. Some factors affecting second language learning are intelligence, aptitude, personality, motivation and attitudes, learning styles and age of acquisition. Thai people found that it was quite difficult for them to speak English correctly or have acceptable English pronunciation. This is because a lot of English sounds are not found in the Thai language. The problems of English pronunciation of Thai students are caused by two main factors, the differences between Thai and English sound systems, and the method of instruction for English pronunciation. An accent is the way a person sounds when he or she speaks. In general, there are two different kinds of accents, foreign and native accents.

Research on ASEAN Economic Policy Uncertainty and Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises' Direct Investment in ASEAN

Lin Cong — 2025-03-08

With the increasing integration of economic development worldwide, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has emerged as a crucial trade and investment partner for China, playing a significant role in its outward direct investment (ODI) strategy. ASEAN's stable economic growth has attracted substantial foreign capital, with Chinese investments increasing significantly, from $224 million in 2003 to $16.063 billion in 2020. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has further expanded opportunities for economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN. This study examines the relationship between ASEAN’s economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and Chinese ODI, utilizing data from manufacturing firms listed on China's A-share market from 2003 to 2023. An econometric model is employed to analyze the impact of EPU, considering factors such as enterprise financing constraints, ownership, industry characteristics, and time. The findings reveal that ASEAN's economic policy uncertainty negatively affects Chinese ODI, leading to a decline in investment due to increased risks and cautious investment strategies. The heterogeneity analysis highlights varying responses among different types of enterprises. Firms with lower financing constraints are more likely to invest in ASEAN when EPU decreases, as they possess greater financial flexibility. Non-state-owned enterprises exhibit a higher tendency to invest despite policy uncertainty, benefiting from their adaptability and reduced administrative restrictions. In terms of industry attributes, technology-intensive enterprises are the most likely to invest in ASEAN, leveraging their competitive advantages and innovation capacity. Capital-intensive enterprises show a moderate likelihood of investment, while labor-intensive enterprises are the least likely due to their vulnerability to external uncertainties. These findings underscore the importance of policy stability in fostering Chinese investments in ASEAN and provide insights into how different enterprise characteristics influence investment decisions under varying economic conditions.

When comparing the unit cost between the sub-district health promotion hospitals that were the host and the sub-district health promotion hospitals that were the client, it was found that the unit cost of the sub-district health promotion hospitals that were the host were significantly lower than the unit cost of the sub-district health promotion hospitals that were the client at a statistical significance level of .05 (t = -2.45, p = .018), which was a result of the increased service potential by having family medicine and interdisciplinary teams to provide services, resulting in more people coming to receive services while the cost per capitation of the sub-district health promoting hospitals as the host had an average cost per capitation of 1,385.11 baht (S.D. = 564.02), the cost per capitation of the sub-district health promoting hospitals as the client had an average cost per capitation of 1,097.58 baht (S.D. = 367.45). When comparing the cost per capita between the sub-district health promoting hospitals as the host and the sub-district health promoting hospitals as the client, it was found that the cost per capita of the sub-district health promoting hospitals as the host was significantly higher than the unit cost of the sub-district health promoting hospitals as the client at a statistical level of .05 (t = 2.15, p = .03), which was a cost resulting from having a team from the hospital to support and jointly provide services. These data can be used as information for consideration in planning resource allocation to be efficient, fair and consistent with the mission of the primary care network. This will have a positive effect on the overall health development of the people in the future.

This research article aims to study digital-era leadership and academic management of administrators in private vocational colleges in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The sample group consisted of 196 teachers and staff. Questionnaires and interviews were used as research tools, and data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis, and content analysis. The findings revealed that: 1) The overall level of digital-era leadership among administrators was high, with the most critical aspects being vision, digital technology skills, fostering a digital learning culture, professional development, and digital citizenship. 2) Digital leadership significantly impacts academic management, with the most important areas being instructional media, dual vocational education, library services, curriculum, and assessment. 3) Digital leadership has a moderate positive correlation with academic management. 4) Digital leadership can predict the effectiveness of academic management. 5) Guidelines for developing digital-era leadership should focus on creating a clear vision, fostering a digital learning culture, promoting ethical digital citizenship, enhancing digital technology skills, and supporting professional development through digital skills training for administrators and staff to ensure effective and sustainable use of technology.

Effects of Physical Education Activities Through Handball on Eye-Hand Coordination and Physical Fitness in Lower Secondary Students

Chaiya Manee — 2025-03-09

This quasi-experimental study aimed to examine and compare the effects of physical education activities using handball on hand-eye coordination, flexibility, arm muscle strength, abdominal muscle strength, and cardiovascular endurance among secondary school students before training, after the 4th week, and after the 8th week. The sample group consisted of 25 grade 9 students, randomly selected using a simple lottery method. The sample size was determined using the G*Power 3.1.9.7 program. The research tools included a physical education activity plan using handball (8 sessions), a reaction timer (whole-body reaction type 2) test, and the Physical Fitness Test and Standards for Secondary School Students. Descriptive statistics, such as mean, percentage, and standard deviation, were used, while inferential statistics included dependent samples t-tests and one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. The significance level was set at 0.05. The results indicated that the sample group had an average age of 15.42 years, an average weight of 47.42 kg, an average height of 163.35 cm, and an average BMI of 18.71. The comparison of flexibility, arm muscle strength, abdominal muscle strength, and cardiovascular endurance showed significant differences before training, after the 4th week, and after the 8th week. Pairwise comparisons using Tukey’s method confirmed these significant differences. However, the comparison of hand-eye coordination showed no statistically significant differences between the pre-training, post-4th week, and post-8th week measurements. Although handball training helps develop muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance, it has no effect on improving hand-eye coordination. Additionally, there should be studies on the effects of handball training on the development of agility or the relationship of the neuromuscular system.

The Development of a Sepak Takraw Skill Test for Students at the Thailand National Sports University in the Northeastern Region

Charoenporn Feangdanklang — 2025-03-09

This research aimed to develop a normative criterion and assess the quality of a Sepak Takraw skill test. The sample used for testing the quality of the Sepak Takraw skill test consisted of 30 undergraduate students. The sample used for creating the normative criterion included 175 undergraduate students. The research tool was a Sepak Takraw skill test for students at the Thailand National Sports University in the Northeastern region, created by the researcher. The test used a rubric scoring system with four skills: serving, receiving, juggling, and heading. The item consistency indices were 0.78, 0.93, 0.88, and 0.79, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficients were r = 0.89, 0.95, 0.87, and 0.88, respectively. The statistical methods used for data analysis included content validity, item consistency, reliability, objectivity, and the creation of normative criteria using standard T-scores. The five performance levels were classified as excellent, good, moderate, poor, and very poor. The results showed that the content validity coefficients ranged from 0.80 to 1.00, with all skills demonstrating excellent content validity, confirming that the test could accurately measure the desired behavioral objectives. The normative criteria for the excellent level of Sepak Takraw skills were also established. This study's findings align with previous research on the development of normative criteria for sports skills, which is a recognized standard in sports science. The results can be applied to enhance the development of Sepak Takraw athletes. However, further studies are needed to improve accuracy and broaden the applicability of the test.
