Abstract

The study aims to achieve three primary objectives: 1) To identify essential components for developing an instructional package aimed at enhancing English proficiency among individuals working in the Thai music industry; 2) To design an instructional package specifically tailored to improve the English proficiency of personnel in the Thai music industry; and 3) To implement the developed instructional package and assess its effectiveness in advancing English proficiency among music industry personnel. Employing the principles in developing an ESP course, the study comprises three phases: need analysis, instructional package development, and implementation. The need analysis phase involved surveying 150 individuals employed in the Thai music industry using a structured questionnaire. The instructional package development phase enlisted the expertise of five experts to evaluate the instructional model. Finally, phase three involved administering a pre-posttest study with 30 music professionals. The results highlight the successful creation of an English instructional package based on communicative language teaching (CLT) principles, leading to significant enhancements in participants' English proficiency. The study's significance lies in its identification of English language development needs within the music profession and its provision of a practical methodology for designing specialized English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses tailored to the unique requirements of music professionals.

提高泰国音乐专业人员的英语水平：CLT 教学包

本研究旨在实现三个主要目标：1) 确定开发旨在提高泰国音乐行业从业人员英语水平的教学包的基本要素；2) 设计专门用于提高泰国音乐行业从业人员英语水平的教学包；3) 实施开发的教学包，并评估其在提高音乐行业从业人员英语水平方面的效果。根据开发 ESP 课程的原则，本研究包括三个阶段：需求分析、教学包开发和实施。在需求分析阶段，使用结构化问卷调查了泰国音乐行业的 150 名员工。在教学包开发阶段，聘请了五位专家对教学模式进行评估。最后，在第三阶段，对 30 名音乐专业人员进行了前测研究。研究结果表明，基于交际语言教学（CLT）原则的英语教学包创建成功，显著提高了参与者的英语水平。这项研究的意义在于，它确定了音乐专业内的英语语言发展需求，并提供了一种实用的方法，用于设计专门的特定用途英语（ESP）课程，以满足音乐专业人员的独特要求。
