The ELT’s distance learning enactment is used for English communication. These activities may be linked to digital literacy practices, particularly for Chinese students as non-native speakers, in stimulating English as regular communication in spoken and written centered on communication. From distance learning, some Chinese ICUTK students have contributed a lot to using English to teach and practice contact at any time. Running digital literacy practices as an ELT approach and strategy will help improve English skills in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, especially by enacting distance learning from China Mainland to Thailand. The purpose of this research is to know how well students can learn ELT. It describes how essential social media platforms are in delivering ELT lessons for distance learning countries between Thailand and the People’s Republic of China and how Chin...

The specific series grows out of two ongoing educational programs which are integrated in the partnership, the University of Windsor-Southwest University Teacher Education Reciprocal Learning Program and the Shanghai-Toronto-Beijing Sister School Network. These programs provide a comprehensive educational approach ranging from preschool to teacher education programs. This framework provides a structure for a set of ongoing Canada-China research teams in school curriculum and teacher education areas. The overall aim of the Partnership program, and therefore of the proposed book series, is to draw on school and university educational programs to create a comprehensive cross-cultural knowledge base and understanding of school education, teacher education and the cultural

It allows students to learn in both synchronous and asynchronous modes while remaining in their native countries and communicating with others. They had unrestricted access to it from anywhere in the world. To obtain data, this work employed a phenomenology case study and photovoice. Purposive selection of virtual observation and interviews for particular international students who studied at a Thai institution from their home countries (i.e., Cambodia, mainland China, South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines) were utilized by the researchers. Despite the fact that the researchers observed 136 business administration undergraduates, just 10 were identified and chosen to conduct specialized studies and in-depth interviews. Furthermore, this research revealed that international students must utilize English to communicate with others in order to im...

The study collected data on the assessment of the teachers about skills and students regarding the service quality of their teachers in a private non-sectarian university in Cebu City, Philippines.

The treatment unit consists of a cylindrical tank, where half of the volume is used as a modified septic tank and the other half is divided between an anaerobic hybrid reactor and a trickling filter. An intermittent feeding system was used, with minimum, mean and maximum flowrate settings (Qmin=0.25 l.s−1, Qmean=0.50 l.s−1 and Qmax=1.00 l.s−1), to reflect the actual operating conditions of a compact on-site treatment system serving a typical dwelling. An average 24-hour hydraulic detention time was used, corresponding to a flowrate of 750 l.d−1. High removal efficiencies and low concentrations of COD, BOD and TSS in the final effluent were achieved, even when the unit was exposed to hydraulic loading peaks during feeding periods at maximum flowrate.

The corporation's mission, purpose, spirit, values, and business philosophy contribute to developing the corporate culture. Corporate culture is the essence of an organization and an irrepressible engine of growth. It is dense with information and is concentrated on the company's values and spirit. Corporate culture is centered on values. If the corporate culture is exhibited through common behaviors, it will have a distinct competitive advantage and rapid growth. As the research object, we explained the fundamental theory of enterprise culture, the construction of Haidilao enterprise culture following the management present situation investigation questionnaire results, and the structure of Haidilao enterprise culture following the questionnaire results. Haidilao has made remarkable strides in the last decade as a result of its corporatization achievements. However, Haidilao's present corporate culture management challenges are affecting the company's growth significantly.

Unfortunately, studies on the influence of income mainly focused on price without considering the relationship between brand and consumers. This study aims to examine how brand perceived quality, awareness, association, and loyalty related to the level of income in emerging countries like Thailand and Indonesia. Premium and high-class coffee chain brands choose as the object of this study as the exponential growth of the coffee culture in both countries. A total of 283 respondents have completed an online questionnaire and verified it to be processed into the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and LSD post hoc test for multiple comparison statistical analysis. The result of this study shows that although high-income and low-income consumers in Thailand tend to have the same perceived quality toward the premium coffee brand, in general, there is a significant difference...
