Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) to study the necessity of English listening-speaking skills of police students at Police Provincial Training Center Region 7; 2) to develop an English communication instructional model to meet the efficiency criteria of 80/80; 3) to compare listening-speaking abilities of police students before and after given an English communication instructional model and its effect size; and 4) to survey police students? opinion towards the English communication instructional model. The researcher indicated the sample size with purposive sampling, retrieving 30 police students, who have been selected for admission to the Police Cadet Course of the fiscal year 2017. The research tools were 10 lessons and teaching material in accordance with the English communication instructional model. Data was analyzed by Mean, Standard Deviation, Effect size, and Dependent t-test. The results of this research were as follow: the students? needs identified by the self-assessment questionnaires showed that student needs on content, language use and benefits were appropriate for practical situations. The efficiency score of an English communication instructional model was 78.77/ 80.67, which was at the acceptable level based on the criterion stated. The listening-speaking abilities after using an English communication instructional model were significantly higher at the level of 0.05; and its effect size was very large at level of 5.37.The students? opinions toward the English communication instructional model were at high level.
