Abstract

This study aims to develop the board game “Foreign Loanwords in the Thai Language” designed to enhance undergraduate learning achievement of foreign loanwords in the Thai language. The board game emphasizes interactive and engaging learning, integrating knowledge about the origins, meanings, concepts, and usage of loanwords from various languages such as English, Chinese, Khmer, and Pali-Sanskrit into a creative and challenging format. The researcher meticulously compiled the content of foreign loanwords in the Thai language to design various game activities. Results from using the board game with a sample group of Thai undergraduate students indicated that it effectively increased their learning achievements. The board game also contributed to enjoyable learning and interaction. Participants provided positive feedback on the board game’s design and content, further guiding improvements to enhance learning achievement. This board game is one of the modern teaching tools, promoting active learning and effectively facilitating knowledge related to foreign loanwords in the Thai language.
