Abstract
Owing to the current situation, many English-speaking lessons have problems in linguistic guides to engage Thai adolescent learners to progress speaking ability for presenting factual information. Hence, this research has an objective to develop Thai EFL adolescent learners’ speaking ability at this specific point from speaking lessons designed based on the genre approach (Derewianka 1990). The participants were a small group of Thai high-school students at Satriwithaya School. Two instruments, including: 1) the two new speaking lessons designed based on the genre approach for the practices of presenting factual information (information-report genre), and 2) a video recorder, were applied for the data collection. The findings of this research implied many useful points for developing speaking lessons and pedagogy for Thai EFL adolescent learners.
