Abstract:
This study attempted to investigate Thai Primary English teachers attitudes toward Content-Based Instruction which is applied in English classrooms in a Thai EFL context. The instrument was the five Likert scale questionnaire which was adapted from a questionnaire survey: Teachers attitudes to direct instruction as a teaching methodology. The scale was derived from Best, 1983. The participants were the 30 Thai primary English teachers who were teaching in an IEP program in a private catholic school located in Thailand. The data was collected from the English classrooms in a Thai EFL context and the data was transcribed into the statistical numbers such as frequency, percentage, mean score and standard deviation by SPSS, Google Form and Microsoft Excel. The results indicate that these Thai primary English teachers have good attitudes toward the application of Content-Based Instruction in their Thai EFL classroom context, and the mean score proved that their agreement toward the application of Content-Based Instruction in Thai EFL classroom context got a slightly higher mean score. Moreover, there is a relationship between the attitude toward the particular method and the suggestions for the application of Content-Based Instruction from the teachers who have been applying this approach in their EFL classroom
