Abstract
This research aimed to: 1) study the current and desirable conditions, 2) create and develop, 3) implement, and 4) evaluate an English teaching model to enhance communication skills of Mathayom 3 (Grade 9) students. The target group consisted of 24 students from Mathayom 3/3 in the first semester of the 2022 academic year at Loei Provincial Administrative Organization School 1 (Mueang Baeng Wittayakom), selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments included: 1) learning management plans, 2) English communication skills assessment, and 3) satisfaction questionnaire. Research Findings: The analysis of current teaching and learning management conditions showed an overall moderate level, while the desirable conditions were at the highest level. The English teaching model comprised the following components: 1) principles, 2) objectives, 3) processes - Phase 1: Introducing New Content, Phase 2: Controlled Practice, Phase 3: Free Practice, Phase 4: Summary, and 4) measurement and evaluation. When developed into a model, it was named the ICFS Model. The results of implementing the English teaching model to enhance English communication skills of Mathayom 3 students were as follows: (1) The efficiency of the model was 80.94/81.19 (2) The effectiveness index of the model was 0.7034. (3) Regarding English communication skills of students learning through the model's learning activities, 18 students (81.82%) achieved scores above the 80% threshold, meeting the established criteria.
