“…A significant gap in the current Thai marketing education system lies in its predominant focus on micro-level perspectives (Crocco, 2018), which center on individual transactions, product promotion, and short-term profitability (Boonsuk, Wasoh & Waelateh, 2023). This narrow focus often disregards the broader societal and environmental consequences of marketing decisions (Hunt, 1976).…”

“…Ethical considerations and social responsibilities are integral components of modern marketing practices. However, the current Thai marketing education system tends to overlook these dimensions, placing more emphasis on technical skills and tactical approaches (Boonsuk, Wasoh & Waelateh, 2023). This gap leaves students ill-prepared to address ethical challenges and societal implications associated with marketing decisions (Drumwright, 1994).…”

“…Another challenge within the current Thai marketing education system is the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications (Boonsuk, Wasoh & Waelateh, 2023).

“…In the Thai context, the integration of macro-marketing and circular economy principles into marketing education is especially pertinent (Boonsuk, Wasoh & Waelateh, 2023).

This study explores the importance of creating a comfortable and respectful classroom environment through the use of icebreaker activities. The study analyzes the opinions of six students on ways to improve or modify icebreaker activities to promote engagement and participation in the classroom. The results of the study reveal that icebreaker activities are essential in building a positive and productive learning environment. The students believe that icebreakers help to improve their speaking and listening skills, as well as their mood and brain activation. They also feel that icebreakers create a safe learning space and promote flexibility and willingness to learn. Furthermore, the students stress the importance of wise selection and modification of icebreaker activities to ensure that they have a positive impact on students and promote engagement in the classroom. The students suggest that icebreakers should be used at the beginning of each class to help energize and motivate students. Additionally, the students believe that clear expectations for student behavior are critical in creating a safe and respectful classroom environment. They stress the need to minimize threats or distractions that could interrupt the flow of learning. This study highlights the importance of creating a comfortable and respectful classroom environment through the use of icebreaker activities. The findings suggest that icebreakers can be modified to better promote engagement and participation in the classroom, ultimately leading to a positive and productive learning environment for students.

Teaching a foreign language requires instructors to be knowledgeable about and capable of providing instruction that facilitates their students’ ability to understand, speak, read, and write the new language. However, as established within the literature, there appears to be a disconnect between what should be offered as pronunciation instruction and what takes place in many EFL classrooms. This study, therefore, undertook to identify Saudi university EFL instructors’ perceptions and practices towards pronunciation instruction. The study employed a mixed methods survey research design, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. Participants included 163 EFL instructors from Saudi universities. The results of the current study showed that while most participants recognized the importance of pronunciation instruction and were confident of their English pronunciation, many also felt that they lacked the training necessary to fully provide instruction and assessment of their students’ English pronunciation. The participants also identified those extraneous factors that affected their ability to provide fulsome pronunciation learning experiences. The study highlights the existing gap between the ideal pronunciation instruction and the current practices in Saudi university EFL classrooms. It emphasizes the need for enhanced training for instructors to improve their ability to deliver effective pronunciation instruction and assessment.
