Communication apprehension among business students in Thailand
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Communication skills play a vital role in people’s lives. Thus, students who have excellent skills in language and communication are more competitive in the job market compared with the others who have average or poor skills in language and communication. Due to the increasing demand for oral communication skill, which is used widely in universities’ and colleges’ curriculum in Thailand, fluency in oral communication in English is needed among graduate students, particularly for the business students who conduct their degrees in an international program. Oral communication skills in graduate students have played an important role in course requirements and activities in class for university students. It is the research objective to identify and understand the different levels of CA among students in order for the business academe to identify the causes of communication difficulties experienced by students and gain information about these communication problems. This study utilized a quantitative research method to gather data for this research. The participants in this study are first-year and second-year students from an international business program in graduate level at a public university in Bangkok, Thailand. There are 156 students enrolled in this program; 79 first-year graduate students (n = 79, 29.1 % male = 23, 70.9 % female = 56) and 77 second-year graduate students (n = 77, 39 % male = 30, 61 % female = 47). For the first-year students, the majority of students are Thais (98 %, n = 77), one Canadian (1 %, n = 1), and one Taiwanese (1 %, n = 1). For the second-year students, the majority of students are Thais (99%, n = 76) and one Chinese (1%, n = 1). The response rate for first year students was 86% (n = 55) and for second year students was 85% (n = 53). As for results from the quantitative data collection, it has been shown that the business students had moderate CA while the overall CA score of second-year students was higher than CA of first-year students. First-year and second year students were in moderate range of communication apprehension and also in three perspectives of communication which are group discussion, meetings, and interpersonal conversation, while CA in public speaking among those students was higher than other perspectives which indicates small degree of apprehension. In a comparison of communicating in Thai language and English language, students in second-year had higher overall CA score when communicating in English language than their score when communicating in Thai language.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
