Abstract

English is an important international language that should be introduced from an early age. In Thailand, English language learning has been implemented at the kindergarten level, but many students have difficulty remembering and pronouncing vocabulary. This is due to the differences in the sound systems between English and Thai, which make it difficult for children to accurately grasp the pronunciation of words. Therefore, there is a need for engaging learning materials that are suitable for young children and can support the natural and enjoyable acquisition of vocabulary.
This study aims to explore how animated educational videos support English vocabulary learning for Thai kindergarten students. The main research questions is : How does the use of animated educational videos support Thai kindergarteners students in learning English vocabulary? The purpose of this study is to explore how animated educational videos support Thai kindergarteners students in learning English vocabulary.
This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews with English teachers, and documentation in the form of photos and videos during the learning process. The study was conducted at Anuban Muang Chana Kindergarten, Thailand, and involved 24 third-grade kindergarten students.
The results of the study indicate that animated educational videos can increase attention, encourage active participation, and build students' confidence in using English vocabulary. This medium provides an enjoyable learning experience that is appropriate for children's developmental stages, thereby supporting vocabulary acquisition in an EFL context.
