Abstract

This study aimed to: (1) enhance Vietnamese pronunciation skills among Thai learners through structured pronunciation reading exercises combined with phonological comparison, (2) compare learning achievement between an experimental group and a control group, and (3) examine learners’ satisfaction with the instructional approach. The sample consisted of 42 undergraduate students, divided into an experimental group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 22). The research instruments included structured pronunciation reading exercises, a 20-item pronunciation test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, paired samples t-test, independent samples t-test, and effect size (Cohen’s d).

The results revealed that: (1) the experimental group’s post-test pronunciation scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores at the .05 level, (2) the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group on the post-test at the .05 level (t(40) = 5.17, p < .001), with a very large effect size (d = 1.60) clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of the instructional model, and (3) learners’ satisfaction with the instructional approach was at the highest level (M = 4.68, SD = 0.70). These findings suggest that structured pronunciation reading exercises combined with phonological comparison effectively improve Vietnamese pronunciation skills among Thai learners. The study also highlights the importance of building phonological awareness in second language pronunciation development.
