| Abstract | This paper presents an application of a sequenced model course designed to improve the ability to learn English through studying this language in the context of English Communication for Thai Music Performing Arts (TMPA) and Thai Music Performance Management (TMPM) courses. The population comprises of the 45 undergraduate students majoring in Thai Music at Phranakhon Rajabhat University, all of whom were registered for both the English Communication for TMPA and TMPM courses during the second semester of the 2014 academic year. The instruments used in the research were lesson plans, learning materials in each learning unit of teachings and learning materials, and integrated tasks or assignments in both subjects on interpreting data on the basis of mean scores and standard deviations. In terms of the English language skills and knowledge acquired through the two courses, based on an evaluation of the four assignments integrated into the two courses, the students received a mean score of 86.22 (S.D. at 0.42). This result clearly indicates that the students' abilities and language skills improved on all the tasks evaluatedwhich included communication, teamwork, and writing. |
