Abstract

Learning to speak grammatical, idiomatic, appropriate English is clearly not an easy task for native speakers of Thai. For in their language, articles do not exist, verbs are not inflected, and a single relative pronoun embraces "that" and the various WH-forms in English. To make matters worse, semantic fields often do not nicely overlap in the two languages, certain constructions differ considerably and differences in rhythm and intonation make pronunciation a persistent problem.
