Development of Learning Activities by Using Task-based Learning Integrated with Multimedia Technology to Enhance Chinese Vocabulary for Communication of Senior High School Students

Abstract

The objectives of this study were: 1) to develop learning activities that integrate Task-based Learning and multimedia technology and to validate their effectiveness based on the 80/80 standard, 2) to evaluate the impact of the learning activities on students’ Chinese communicative competence by comparing pre-test and post-test scores, and 3) to assess students’ satisfaction with the learning activities by integrating Task-based Learning and multimedia technology through the Satisfaction Questionnaire. The sample consisted of 23 Thai students from the Mattayomsuksa 5 Chinese class at San Sai Wittayakhom School, Chiang Mai Province. The instruments included lesson plans of the learning activities, the oral test administered as both the pretest and posttest, and the Satisfaction Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using basic statistics, including percentage, mean, minimum and maximum scores, and standard deviation. The results showed that: 1) the learning activities met the 80/80 standard in terms of both process efficiency and output effectiveness, 2) post-test scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores, indicating an improvement in student’s Chinese communicative competence, and 3) students demonstrated a high level of satisfaction with the learning activities, particularly in content and activity design, with positive evaluations also noted in classroom interaction, technological tools, and perceived learning output.
