Intercultural competence and language proficiency are crucial aspects of language teaching and learning, particularly in a
multicultural and multilingual context like International University Bangkok, Thailand. This study focuses on the effect of intercultural
competence in language teaching on the English proficiency of Thai students. It explores the relationship between foreign teachers'
intercultural competence and the language learning outcomes of Thai students in an international university setting.
By investigating the effect of intercultural competence in language teaching on the English proficiency of Thai students,
this study contributes to the understanding of effective language teaching practices in a diverse educational environment.

MSC

18. MSC
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an approach that integrates the teaching of
content subjects with the acquisition of a second language, offering a unique and immersive
language learning experience. In the context of an international university in Bangkok, Thailand,
where English is often the medium of instruction, CLIL holds significant potential for enhancing
students' language proficiency and content knowledge. This study aims to investigate the
effectiveness of CLIL in this educational setting, examining its impact on students' language skills,
subject comprehension, and overall academic performance. By exploring the benefits and
challenges of implementing CLIL in the specific context of the international university in Bangkok,
this research seeks to provide valuable insights for educators, curriculum developers, and
policymakers to optimize language learning and content delivery strategies in international higher
education institutions.

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
The theoretical framework for studying the effectiveness of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in an
international university in Bangkok, Thailand can be based on the following key concepts. Firstly, the
Constructivist Learning Theory suggests that learners construct knowledge by actively engaging with meaningful
tasks and authentic contexts. CLIL provides an immersive environment where students learn both content and
language through real-world situations, fostering active learning and knowledge construction. Secondly, the
Sociocultural Theory emphasizes the role of social interaction and collaboration in language and content
learning. CLIL encourages students to interact with peers and teachers, creating opportunities for negotiation of
meaning and language development. Thirdly, the Input Hypothesis posits that language acquisition occurs
through exposure to comprehensible input. In CLIL, students are exposed to language-rich content materials,
allowing them to receive input that is meaningful, engaging, and related to their academic disciplines. Finally,
the Integrated Curriculum Design approach supports the integration of content and language, ensuring that
language learning is not separate from subject matter but is intertwined with it. This framework provides a
comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles and theories that support the effectiveness of CLIL in
promoting language proficiency and content knowledge in the context of an international university in Bangkok,
Thailand.
