            Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I’m Uraiwan Cholkasem. I’m a third years

student English major at a faculty of Education Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat

University. Today I’m going to present a research on Using Language   Journal writing

and   Error Correction to improve English Ability by Songsri  Soranastaporn.

My  purpose of the presentation to inform you this research. I will to speak for ten

minute and I have divided my presentation in to 4 parts.  In the first part, I’m going to

talk about  Introduction. In the next section, I will to talk about Methodology. In the

third part, I would like to talk about Results of this research and the last part, I’m going

to talk about Conclusion. And I’d ask you to save your question for the end.

                      Ok. Now let us look at the first aspect. That is the introduction of the

research was  the research used the result of error analysis to be their authentic

resource for development a learner- centered teaching and learning technique. This

technique is very simple and direct so all teacher can use it. of the four English skills,

writing is considered to be the most difficult especially for EFL students. EFL teachers

try to find new techniques to motivate and encourage student to write. Then, Student

are able write only when at least they have the knowledge and desire to write. It is the

responsibility of EFL teacher to choose writing techniques that are suitable to their

student. Writing diaries and journals are useful tasks. Moreover, to improve their

writing skills, student’ error should be fixed. Teachers can find the most common errors

of their students by analyzing their errors, and by using the results of error analysis to

improve their writing skills, students’ error should be fixed. Teacher can find the most

common errors of their students by analyzing their error, and by using the results of

error analysis to improve their writing skills. The purpose of study was to investigate

the effectiveness to the English achievement of first-year Engineering students, at the

faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University by learning journal writing and error

correction technique.    

                     That’s all I would like to say about   introduction of the research next

section that is  Methodology  The first, subjects There were 67 student; 51 males and 16

females. Four of them were repeating student. A non-probability convenience sampling

was used for this study the researcher choose to conduct this study with the classroom

that was assigned by the department of foreign language, Mahidol University.Then

Methdology was this study examined  and analyzed learning journals written by Thai

first year engineering students of Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University of 2003

academic year. Then, students’ error were analyzed and use as materials to improve

their English ability. Error correction technique was used to point out and clarify

student’s error. Students- teacher conference and peer correction were used to correct

error. At the last methodology was research instrument, three  research instruments

were used in this study were the achievement test, the learning journal writing, and

error correction technique. The first, Achievement test. One test was used to determine

students’ English proficiency. The test consisted of 3 parts: Vocabulary, Grammar,

Reading. Second ,  Learning Journal. Each student wrote three journal entries on the

first three months of each semester so the total was 6 journal entries. And the third,

Lesson plans.  Lesson plans for group was constructed on the basis of the objectives and

goal of the Department of foreign languages, Mahidol  University. Two textbooks were

used as guidelines. 

           That’s all I would like to say about  Methodology Now let us  turn to third part

that is Results of this research was First, the results of the error analysis revealed that

the  top five writing errors. Second, the results of the achievement test showed that (A)

there was a significant difference between scores gained from the pre-test and the post-

test. (B)  the mean scores of the post-test of students were significantly higher than of the

pre-test.

   

           Then, I would like to talk about the last part, that is conclusion of this

research was writing skills are the most difficult skills for students, especially in EFL

situations. Learning journal writing motivates students to write in English as well as to

stimulate their learning. Error analysis helps teacher to track what need to be taught to

help students increase their English skills. Learning journal writing is a unique resource

for learning English grammar and structure because the data comes from the learner

directly. Moreover, peer correction is used to correct errors in a non-threatening way

while their teacher is available to help, encourage. And facilitate.  Finally, this learning-

centered technique has contributed to positive results as demonstrated by the pre-and

post-test scores.

                Ok everybody do have you any question?
