Description

This paper aims to report on the revision of “Akiko To Tomodachi”, Thailand’s Secondary EducationTextbook, regarding revised principles, changed items and trial results. The revised edition focuses on communicative competence. Listening exercises, called “Donnabamen?”, are added as language input for students to notice how words and expressions are used in the situations. In addition, “Akiko Can-do” or learning objectives are rewritten more concretely and students can reflect on what they can do with “Can-do Check”. Furthermore, tasks are also added for students to learn to guess, analyze and research individually or collaboratively. The feedback from trial results is positive. Students said that “Donnabamen?” exercises are fun because they are brain-challenging, enabling them to learn words and expressions. Teachers reported that “Donnabamen?” exercises motivate students. They are easy to use and require only brief lesson introduction time.
