A Study of Effectiveness on the 6 Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners

Abstract

The objectives of the research were 1) to develop the lesson plans for learning skills based on the Six Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners of TESOL, 2) to study the effectiveness of the developed lesson plans, 3) to compare learning achievement tests before and after learning by using the developed lesson plans, and 4) to study the students’ satisfaction after learning by using the developed lesson plans. The samples were 40 students registering in English for Learning Skills in the first semester of the academic year 2020. They were randomized by simple random sampling. The research instruments were learning achievement tests: before and after learning, tests for activities between learning, and a questionnaire for the students’ satisfaction after learning by using the lesson plans. The statistics used in the research were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the paired-samples t-test.

            The research findings were as follows.

1. The four developed lesson plans on English for Learning Skills based on the Six Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners of TESOL consisted of 1) learning content, 2) learning management based on the Six Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners of TESOL, 3) material and learning resources, and 4) assessment and evaluation.
2. The developed lesson plans had the efficiency (E1/E2) at 80.63/80.81 which was higher than the efficiency of the standard regulated.
3. The findings of the comparison of the mean scores from the learning achievement tests before and after learning by using the developed lesson plans showed that the mean score after learning was higher than that before learning with the statistical significance at the level of 0.05.
4. The findings of the analysis of the students’ satisfaction on the developed lesson plans showed that the students were satisfied after learning by using the developed lesson plans in the overall at the highest level (= 4.52, S.D. = 0.59).
