This results in the establishment and development of international schools countrywide in EFL countries especially in Thailand as an alternative educational route for those wanting to experience an international learning environment and/or simply to enhance English language ability. The aim of this case study is to investigate the context that non-English in-service teachers reflect when teaching in an international school context. Nine participants who are currently teaching in a large international school in Bangkok were recruited for a semi-structured interview on their instructional strategies for non-English subjects. Thematic analysis was used as an approach to thematize the transcript in the pedagogical reflection of CLIL and EMI. Although an international school is expected to fully adopt the EMI practice, the finding shows that most teachers’ teaching practice reflects the CLIL approach. The influence of choosing CLIL as a major approach was due to concerns in readiness relating to essential vocabulary necessary for learning content subjects and students’ native language background. Although a clear boundary of CLIL and EMI could not be clearly defined in current literature, recommendations on future research and teacher’s training are discussed.","PeriodicalId":475760,"journal":{"name":"Rajabhat Chiang Mai Research Journal","volume":"36 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139965146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study assessed the higher education student leaders' environmental ethics awareness, environmental citizenship participation, and its correlation, and proposed a plan of activities to sustain and enhance the two aforementioned variables. By employing a descriptive-correlational design with a researcher-made questionnaire, this study found out that the higher education student leaders are highly aware of ethical actions concerning the environment. However, in terms of citizenship participation, the results revealed that these student leaders are not highly participative in various environmental activities despite having high levels of awareness. Hence, this study suggests that fostering collaborations among student leaders, organizations, and clubs will address environmental issues collectively, strengthening their environmental ethics awareness and participation, and a proposed plan of activities that may be initiated by the concerned authorities to ensure its full implementation.","PeriodicalId":475760,"journal":{"name":"Rajabhat Chiang Mai Research Journal","volume":"573 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140471131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previously, research on and knowledge about it were sparse. The objectives of this study were thus to gather fundamental information about Hotila through in-depth surveys and interviews, to promote the conservation, rehabilitation, and breeding of a native species of Hotila through observation, interviews, and simple experiments, and to compare the satisfaction levels of Hotila consumption with that of Monosodium glutamate (MSG) in 17 communities in Mueang and Khunyuam Districts of Maehongson Province using Hedonic Scale of nine-satisfaction level questionnaires on 12 issues—pigment, smell, taste, texture, pricing, and packaging of Hotila and those of MSG with 319 randomly selected native samples. Results revealed: 1) 13 facts about Hotila, 2) Hotila is not typically grown in communities for at least two factors: unfavourable conditions in the soil, water, humidity, and temperature; and that communities lack the necessary knowledge on how and when to effectively collect and to successfully reproduce the Hotila species, and 3) MSG was inferior to Hotila in all 12 aspects. The findings are valuable to the research communities because they provide firsthand information about Hotila, a food substitute for MSG to encourage good health, especially for people who are health-conscious and allergic to MSG.","PeriodicalId":475760,"journal":{"name":"Rajabhat Chiang Mai Research Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136072156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
