The purposes of this research were to develop a web-based application in French for Nakhon Pathom community-based tourism for high school students and to examine the effectiveness of the web-based application in terms of French listening-speaking ability for community-based tourism and satisfaction from the application. The research instruments were: 1) an interview form about community-based tourism in Nakhon Pathom Province; 2) a web-based application in French for community-based tourism in Nakhon Pathom Province for high school students; 3) a French listening-speaking ability test for community-based tourism; 4) a French oral test for community-based tourism; and 5) a satisfaction questionnaire with the developed web-application. The statistics used in the research included mean, standard deviation, and dependent t-test. The results showed that 1. the web-based application in French for community-based tourism in Nakhon Pathom Province for high school students consists of 1) principles, 2) objectives, 3) learning activities of 9 lessons, and 4) measurement and evaluation. 2. Regarding the trial, 2.1 students’ listening-speaking ability in French for community-based tourism after learning was higher than before learning with statistical significance at .05 level. Their listening-speaking ability in French after learning was higher than the set criterion of 70% with statistical significance at .05 level. 2.2 Overall, the students’ satisfaction with the developed web application was at a high level. For further development, researchers can apply this approach in developing the application to other courses or curriculum. The findings of this research are the application should be function in various systems, iOS or android; the lessons must be presented to attract interests, be practical, and be interactive to support a fast learning; be frequently responsive for lesson output; and be encouraged little by little for a continuous development of the skill.
