Development of Methods of Teaching English for Thai Students with Learning Difficulties

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to develop methods of teaching English for Thai students with learning difficulties. The process of learning language has a significant effect on how young learners are able to acquire the foreign language. As was presented, the strategy of learning one’s mother tongue can be adopted for learning a foreign language. Primarily, those who are involved in the children’s learning process are their parents, and later their teachers. Therefore, teachers should use deliberate strategies that parents generally use quite intuitively to promote young learners’ development of a foreign language. Practicing these strategies and developing motivation can help learners overcome problems with foreign language acquisition.
