| Abstract | The purposes of this research were to: 1) compare the English vocabulary knowledge of environmental engineering students before and after using the PQRST technique with news articles in an ESP classroom, 2) compare the English reading skills of environmental engineering students before and after using the PQRST technique with news articles in the ESP classroom, and 3) examine the students’ attitudes towards the use of the PQRST technique with news articles to enhance their English vocabulary knowledge and reading skills. The study sample included 20 third-year environmental engineering students enrolled in an ESP course at a public university in Thailand. The research instruments comprised seven lesson plans employing PQRST with news articles, vocabulary tests, reading tests, an attitude questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews. Mean and standard deviation (S.D.) calculations were adopted to analyze the data from the pre-tests and post-tests of the vocabulary and English reading tests. Mean and S.D. scores as well as content analysis were used to investigate students' attitudes toward the use of PQRST with news articles to improve their vocabulary knowledge and reading skills. This study found that the ESP students’ vocabulary knowledge and English reading skills improved significantly after employing PQRST with news articles, and that the students held positive attitudes towards the use of PQRST with news articles in the ESP classroom. |
