Second pilot program (1987) conducted in two poor schools in Surin province, northeastern Thailand, where students had difficulty communicating in Thai because they spoke Laotien and Suay. The article reports "Significant results in Thai language development in the two pilot schools" citing Rattanavich & Walker (1987); no effect size or sample size is printed.

"Significant results in Thai language development in the two pilot schools were found as well as other personal developments, such as creativity, self-confidence, and responsibility (Rattanavich & Walker, 1987)."

Related Claims¶

• Blind students taught with CLE performed significantly better in Thai language development than traditionally taught students at the .01 level, with one small kindergarten group as an exception — related
• A meta-analysis of 76 CLE research studies found students taught with CLE models 1-3 in Thai and English achieved at much higher percentages than traditionally taught students, with printed effect sizes from d = 0.60 to d = 8.55 — a broader claim this one bears on
• A replicated grade-11 study of CLE model III used a one-experimental-group time-series design with MANOVA repeated measures, reporting significant development in reading and creative writing at the .001 level — related
• In the large-scale Thai CLE project (2,945 experimental vs 2,397 control students), 73% of control students in the northeast and 74% in the southern provinces scored below the experimental-group mean on Thai communicative performance — related
