“…However, the focus has primarily been given to the actual use of speech acts by EFL learners. Various studies have used the DCT and the role-play tasks to collect spoken or written data for the analysis of pragmatic competence (Huttayavilaiphan, 2022;Jalilifar, 2009;Mohebali & Salehi, 2016).…”

This research examined whether three commonly used data collection methods, namely the discourse completion test, role-play tasks, and naturally occurring data, are appropriate data collection methods for the assessment of the pragmatic competence of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. Moreover, the study used the three data collection methods to determine whether there was a significant correlation between the grammatical competence and the pragmatic competence of EFL learners. Participants included 100 Asian EFL learners at two English proficiency levels. This research found a significant difference in the speech act performance of the EFL learners between each pair of the three data collection methods. The results suggested that the naturally occurring data collection method revealed the speech act performance of the EFL learners at its optimal. Furthermore, a significant correlation was found between the grammatical competence and the pragmatic competence of the EFL learners by using the naturally occurring data collection method. Both results indicated that the naturally occurring data collection methods may be more appropriate for the assessment of the pragmatic competence of EFL learners. Further empirical experiments should be conducted to ascertain the correlation between grammatical competence and pragmatic competence.

“…As technology is advancing, impacting the learning inputs and activities in learning English, studies on the relevancy between applications or platforms and CEFR in providing the models of standard language mastery have been conducted. Huttayavilaiphan (2022) revealed that their local participant students perceived the CEFR-based online intercultural communication activities with the international participant volunteers positively. It boosts their confidence and communicative language competence, encompassing linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic abilities that correspond to the CEFR (2001) scales.…”

The increasing popularity of social media apps has the potential to provide teachers and students with a platform for innovative and engaging language learning, one of which is TikTok. However, there is a lack of investigation and explanation on to what extent and how videos available on TikTok can enhance interaction and activities in language learning classrooms. Therefore, this study aims to examine the existence of CEFR interaction competence in communicative activities and its level on selected TikTok videos. This study applied a content analysis method with a qualitative approach using the CEFR reference of the illustrative descriptor scale. The top 250 learning videos from the search results for the hashtag #learnenglish were collected. The findings show that most activities were found in overall oral interaction with a score of 291 and the level was A2 with 46% of occurrences. The findings demonstrate that TikTok learning videos are well-suited as teaching materials for classes at the A2 proficiency level with general oral interaction activities.

The objectives of this study were, firstly, to implement and determine the effectiveness of an online training program designed to enhance the online communication and intercultural communication skills of undergraduate students and, secondly, to investigate the level of satisfaction of undergraduate students towards the program. The participants were 50 international students at a Thai university who were enrolled in the first semester of the 2023 academic year in a course called “Learning and Problem Solving Skills” (Gen 121). The instruments used in the study consisted of a pre-test/post-test of online communication and intercultural communication skills and a satisfaction online questionnaire to determine the level of student satisfaction with the program. Quantitative methods were used to analyze the data. The results were twofold. Firstly, during the implementation of the online training program, the findings showed that the online was effective in enhancing the undergraduate students’ online communication and intercultural communication skills, as shown in the pre-test (x̄ = 9.5 ) and post-test score (x̄ = 14.3). Secondly, the overall level of the students’ satisfaction toward the program was high. Despite the students’ increased awareness of online and intercultural communication skills, the results showed that this awareness was insufficient to change their study habits, particularly when it came to turning on cameras. Thus, teachers ought to provide students with explicit instructions encouraging them to turn on their cameras so that they can study online more effectively.
