Abstract: The quantum learning-and-teaching model founded by DePorter is considered to be an effective and practical model of learning encouragement. Various studies, especially in Indonesia, were conducted to investigate the effects of using the quantum learning-and-teaching model in reading instruction ; however, there has been no such study conducted in the Thai context. The objectives of this study were to: i) investigate the perceptions of Thai secondary school EFL readers regarding their teachers’ use of the quantum learning-and-teaching model in reading instruction, ii) investigate the perceptions of Thai secondary school EFL readers regarding the usefulness of the quantum learning-and-teaching model in reading instruction, and iii) investigate differences between the perceptions of more and less proficient Thai secondary school EFL readers regarding the usefulness of the quantum learning-and-teaching model in reading instruction. Two hundred fifty-six grade 9th students at a public school in Bangkok were chosen to participate in this study. The participants were categorized into more and less proficient readers based on their average English grades in English Reading 3 and English Reading 4 courses. Data were collected via a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The research results reveal that the students’ perceptions regarding their teachers’ use and the usefulness of the quantum learning-and-teaching model in reading instruction were both ranked at the high level. Looking at specific items in the questionnaire, the data show that while the students perceived all 49 teaching practices useful at the high level, they perceived their teachers used 5 teaching practices less at the moderate level. The results indicated that more and less proficient school EFL readers perceived the usefulness of some teaching practices differently. There was a statistically significant difference in the usefulness of 11 teaching practices (2 reading strategy instructions and 9 classroom activities) at the 0.01 and 0.05 levels. It is recommended that teachers apply the quantum learning-and-teaching model in their reading instruction to encourage students to learn how to read and to provide a positive learning atmosphere in the classroom. In addition, teachers should consider choosing teaching practices that fit their students’ proficiency levels in their lessons
