Abstract | In 2016, Thai Ministry of Education (MOE) has announced the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages or the CEFR (Council of Europe, 2001) as a guideline for teachers in primary and secondary schools. This has inevitably affected Rajabhat Universities (RUs) in the country that have major roles and responsibilities in producing pre-service English teachers. This paper presents the results of an investigation of English teachers' perceptions at Rajabhat universities in Bangkok and suburban areas. Participants were 67 teachers in total. A mixed-methods approach was employed for data collection. Research tools are a set of questionnaire and an individual semi-structured interview. An interview was conducted with 6 teachers in 6 RUs, each was purposively selected. Data analysis employed frequency, means, and standard deviation, while Grounded theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1999) was used for interview data analysis. Findings indicate the participants mostly agreed with the MOE's launching the CEFR policy and reflected they could apply the CEFR as a guideline in teaching and learning management. However, data from the in-depth interview revealed both advantages and disadvantages of the CEFR. This study might be a kind of mirror for policy makers and practitioners at both policy and classroom pedagogy levels who advocate the CEFR policy in Thailand. (As Provided). |
