Abstract: This study aimed to explore the approaches of vocational Thai teachers teaching English at vocational colleges in Pathumthani and Kanchanaburi provinces regarding the applications of four EFL teaching methods: the grammar-translation method, direct method, audio-lingual method, and communicative language teaching, as well as learning activities and instructional media. The purposes of the study were to investigate the application of EFL teaching methods, the application of learning activities in the classroom teaching, and the application of the instructional media as well as the reasons to support the use of learning activities and instructional media. This study was conducted with a total number of 30 vocational teachers teaching at four vocational colleges. The data was collected through the use of a questionnaire as a basis to examine vocational teachers' applications of the four EFL teaching methods, learning activities, and instructional media, and were statistically analyzed through the use of the Excel program. The data gained from the open-ended questions was interpreted to support the use of particular learning activities and instructional media. The findings indicated that among the four EFL teaching methods, communicative language teaching was most frequently applied by the respondents, which was marked at the ‘high’ level (xˉ = 3.52, S.D.= 5.54). The learning activities and the instructional medium most frequently applied by the majority of the respondents were the backward build-up drill and pictures and real objects. This study can assist the Office of Vocational Education to provide training courses regarding communicative language teaching to promote this method to be more practical and efficient in classroom teaching
