National and regional languages: Thai is national language used all over the
country. Thai also functions as the working language of some foreign transnational workers
and labourers. Due to changing method of teaching from primary school on over many years,
the proficiency of some Thai students has been interrupted and many, as a result, are unable
to read or write in Thai correctly and effectively. Moreover, the broken Thai used in social
media which is an integral part of every student‟s life, is also badly damaging to their
perception of the proper and correct Thai language use. According to the O-Net in 2014,
Grade VI students‟ mean scores for Thai language studies was 44.88/100.
