Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study and compare the English reading abilities of second-year students before and after the implementation of Using Concept-Based Language Instruction and Feedback, aimed at enhancing their English reading abilities. The study was conducted at Lampang Rajabhat University. The target group comprised 20 second-year students enrolled in the course "Critical Reading for Teachers of English (1092301)" during the second semester of the academic year 2023. The research employed experimental instruments consisting of six carefully designed lesson plans integrating Concept-Based Language Instruction and Feedback to facilitate students’ reading comprehension and analytical skills. Additionally, an English reading proficiency test was utilized as a data collection tool. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics, including calculating mean scores, percentages, and standard deviations, to determine the effectiveness of the instructional approach.

The results of the study can be summarized as follows:

1. After the implementation of Concept-Based Language Instruction and Feedback, students' English reading abilities improved from a moderate level (68.33%) to a very good level (83.50%). Notable progress was observed in identifying main ideas, answering analytical questions, and inferring word meanings from context. These outcomes indicate an enhanced depth of reading comprehension and analytical performance compared to the pre-instruction stage.

2. The use of Concept-Based Language Instruction and Feedback effectively enhanced students’ reading development. Students demonstrated clearer analytical thinking in reading tasks, including identifying core concepts and answering higher-order questions. These improvements reflect a more structured and effective reading process when compared to their performance prior to the intervention.
