Abstract
This paper studies types of creating items about loan words in Thai language in the national Thai language examinations for 6th-grade secondary education from 2000 to 2020, and analyzes factors that should be considered as precautions of creating examinations about loan words in Thai language based on the national Thai language examinations for 6th-grade secondary education.
The findings show that over the past 20 years, there are 3-5 items about loan words in Thai language in each of the national Thai language examinations for 6th-grade secondary education. The types of creating the items are moderately consistent. They can be divided into 7 types: types 1 and 2 focus solely on knowledge of loan words in Thai language, whereas types 3-7 include knowledge of other topics. Knowledge of etymology is the precaution that should be taken when creating an examination based on the national examinations.
