The Impact of Lack of Fluency in English-Speaking of 3rd year Students at English Department Savannakhet University
type: item
description: This study aimed to explore the causes and analyze the impact of a lack of English-speaking fluency among third-year students in the Department of English at Savannakhet University. A mixed-methods approach was employed, with data collected from 31 students through questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative findings revealed that the lack of fluency was strongly associated with several factors: anxiety (x̅ = 3.51, SD = 1.14), lack of self-confidence (x̅ = 3.55, SD = 1.20), insufficient vocabulary (x̅ = 3.71, SD = 1.16), and lack of background knowledge (x̅ = 3.61, SD = 1.32). Students reported difficulties in expressing complex ideas, retrieving appropriate words, and participating in English-speaking activities due to fear of making mistakes and limited opportunities for practice. The impact of these challenges was significant. Over 51% of participants stated that they could not fully understand lessons, while others experienced low academic performance, missed opportunities, and fear of speaking in public or in front of native speakers. Situational anxiety was particularly high when responding to unprepared questions or during classroom presentations. Interview data further emphasized that low fluency limited students’ confidence in both academic and career-related communication, with 45.16% of respondents acknowledging that their inability to speak English would negatively affect their job prospects. Despite these difficulties, many students expressed strong motivation to improve, particularly through vocabulary development and more consistent speaking practice. The study concludes that improving English-speaking fluency requires addressing both linguistic and psychological barriers. Creating supportive learning environments, building students’ confidence, and providing structured opportunities to practice speaking English can help learners develop the fluency necessary for academic success and global employability.

title: A Study of Factors Affecting the Learning of Literary Text Analysis in the Lao Literature Subject among Grade 8 Students at the Demonstration Secondary School of Savannakhet Teacher Training College, Academic Year 2023–2024
description: This research is highly significant, particularly in organizing teaching and learning activities that emphasize students’ active participation in practice, specifically the analysis of Lao literary texts according to the methods and procedures of literary analysis. The objectives of this study are to investigate the factors affecting students’ learning in analyzing literary texts in the Lao literature subject among Grade 8 secondary school students, and to examine the level of students’ interest, understanding, and satisfaction with the teaching and learning of literary text analysis in Lao literature. The sample group consisted of 21 Grade 8 demonstration secondary school students. Data were collected through the implementation of actual teaching and learning activities. The research results found that before the instruction, all students in the class were at levels ranging from very weak to good. The most significant problem faced by students was that Lao literary texts are still largely transmitted through oral storytelling traditions. They remain in poetic forms and have not yet been systematically compiled or newly published. The Lao literary texts used for teaching are still in their traditional forms and have not been adapted into other media such as films, videos, theatrical performances, or stage presentations. In teaching literary text analysis, teachers must review the theoretical approaches and procedures for analyzing literary texts before teaching. Teachers should also encourage students to read and study Lao literary texts in advance, which accounted for 95.23%. The classroom environment should also be free from noise disturbances, accounting for 76.19%, along with other related issues. The post-learning evaluation results indicated that only 2 students remained at the weak level, accounting for 9.52%, while 19 students were at the moderate to very good levels, accounting for 90.47%.

title: A Comparison of Residents’ Attitudes toward Socio-Economic Conditions before and after Relocation and Land Allocation from the Theun–Hinboun Hydropower Project: A Case Study of Phousad Village, Khounkham District, Khammouane Province
description: This study aimed (1) to investigate the socio-economic perceptions of residents of Phousad Village before and after relocation, and (2) to compare their socio-economic perceptions before and after relocation. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire from a sample of 206 respondents. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values, were used for data analysis. Inferential statistics were conducted using a paired-samples t-test at the 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that the mean score of socio-economic perceptions before relocation was 3.05 (SD = 0.531), which was considered moderate, while the mean score after relocation was 3.98 (SD = 0.744), which was considered high. The comparative analysis showed that socio-economic perceptions before and after relocation differed significantly at the 0.05 level, with a p-value of 0.000. The findings showed that the post-relocation mean score was significantly higher than the pre-relocation score, reflecting improved socio-economic conditions following relocation. The results provide empirical evidence of the socio-economic changes experienced by the affected population before and after relocation. These findings are beneficial for agencies involved in planning and improving relocation management and land allocation processes. Furthermore, they may serve as guidelines for policy development and the implementation of development projects that align with the population’s needs and promote sustainable improvements in quality of life.

Assessment of Radiation Dose Rate in Hongsa District, Xaiyabuly Province
type: item
description: This research aimed (1) to survey and measure the amount of environmental radiation emitted from the soil and present in the air in Hongsa District, Xayabouly Province; and (2) to study and calculate the risk indices indicating potential hazards to humans and animals. Radiation levels were measured at 20 locations in Hongsa District, Xayabouly Province, using an Inspector Alert™ V2 radiation detector. The results were then compared with the standards announced by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The findings showed that radiation levels at all 20 locations were low and within safety limits, posing no danger to living organisms. The study also found that the absorbed gamma dose rate in air (G, nGy h⁻¹) measured at 1 m above ground level, the average annual outdoor effective dose (AEDEout), and the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) were lowest at point S02, which is located in a densely populated urban area. In contrast, point S11, situated north of the town center, recorded the highest values. The higher radiation levels at this site are likely due to differences in geological structure in that area, particularly the presence of lignite rock formations.

The Importance of English Communication Skills among Second-Year Students in the Department of English at Savannakhet University
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the current level of English communication skills among second-year students in the Department of English at Savannakhet University. It also explores students’ perceptions of the importance of English communication in their academic and professional lives and identifies the challenges they face in developing these skills. A quantitative research design was employed, using a structured questionnaire administered to 25 second-year English major students. The questionnaire covered five main language areas listening, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar along with student perceptions, academic performance, career readiness, personal development, and common communication challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation issues, and lack of practice, passive learning, and limited feedback. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (Mean and Standard Deviation). Findings revealed that students perceive English communication skills as very important, especially in relation to career readiness (x̅ = 4.41), academic performance (x̅ = 4.18), and personal confidence (x̅ = 4.20). Listening (x̅ = 4.32) and pronunciation (x̅ = 4.17) were identified as essential subskills, while speaking, vocabulary, and grammar were viewed as important but more challenging. Major obstacles included lack of practice (x̅ = 4.24), limited feedback (x̅ = 4.19), passive learning environments (x̅ = 3.93), and unclear pronunciation (x̅ = 3.95). These challenges hinder fluency, confidence, and real-life communication competence. The study recommends creating more interactive, student-centered learning environments that emphasize communicative tasks. Teachers should provide more frequent and personalized feedback and encourage practice both inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, integrating career-related communication practice and building students’ confidence through group discussions, role-plays, and presentations will help bridge the…

type: item
description: The purpose of this study was to examine the level of attitudes towards self-discipline behaviour and learning accountability of second-year student teachers in the Faculty of Education at the National University of Laos academic year 2022-2023. The target group consisted of 209 second-year students from 12 different majors within the Faculty of Education. Data was collected using a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire. A total of 173 complete responses were obtained, with the majority being female students (116 respondents, 67.05%). Research findings found that, overall, second-year students’ self-discipline behaviour and learning accountability were at high level. No significant difference was observed between male and female student teachers in these aspects. Similarly, student teachers across different academic majors showed comparable levels of self-discipline and learning accountability. When analyzed by individual aspects, it was found that the results (ranked from highest to lowest average scores) were as follows: compliance with rules, punctuality, achievement motivation, self-confidence and accountability, respectively. Self-confidence (µ= 3.48, σ= 0.99) and accountability (µ= 3.04, σ= 1.11) emerged as aspects requiring further development, with students demonstrating only moderate levels of these qualities. To further enhance these traits, the research team proposes the following recommendations: 1) Regarding Self-Confidence: teachers should organize diverse activities to encourage greater student participation, providing opportunities for students to develop their skills and build self-confidence; 2) Regarding Accountability: teachers should strictly enforce discipline at all times.

A Simulation Study on the Impact of Packet Loss and Latency on FTTH 35 Mbps Performance Across Different Time Periods
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate the impact of Packet Loss and Latency on the performance of a 35 Mbps Fiber to the Home (FTTH) connection. Experiments were conducted in a controlled environment using iPerf3, Ping to measure and NetEm to simulate network imperfections. Data was collected during two distinct periods, daytime and nighttime, to compare the effects under different network traffic conditions. The results revealed that the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is highly susceptible to both Packet Loss and Latency, with as little as 1% Packet Loss causing a more than 80% drop in TCP Throughput and an increase of 100ms in Latency resulting in a more than 50% Throughput reduction. In contrast, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Throughput remained largely unaffected by these impairments, with data transfer speeds consistently close to 35 Mbps. However, Packet Loss directly impacts the quality of UDP-based real-time services, while increased Latency introduces noticeable delays that degrade the user experience. The findings indicate that both Packet Loss and Latency significantly affect user experience, albeit through different mechanisms, highlighting the critical need for improving network quality.

A Study on the Performance of ZeroTier Tunnel and CloudFlare WARP
type: item
description: Remote work and cloud computing through traditional VPN systems face limitations and are increasingly exposed to emerging cybersecurity threats. To address these challenges, the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has been developed as an alternative. Based on this new architectural model, several products have been introduced, such as ZeroTier (ZT) Tunnel and Cloudflare (CF) WARP. Each solution applies different mechanisms in managing network traffic and data, which may impact system performance differently. This study aims to compare the performance of ZeroTier Tunnel and Cloudflare WARP in terms of round-trip time (RTT), data transmission rate (DTR) during upload/download data, and CPU and RAM resource utilization. The experiment simulated client-to-server communication using the FTP protocol under two scenarios (ZT Tunnel and CF WARP) and employed Apache JMeter as the data recording tool. The experimental results show that ZT Tunnel outperforms CF WARP in RTT and data transmission rate (DRT) better than CF WARP, while CF WARP use less resources than ZT tunnel during upload but more during download compared to ZT Tunnel, both still have efficient CPU and RAM utilization. However, external factors such as network conditions and testing environments may influence the outcomes. Therefore, further experiments under diverse environments are recommended to validate the findings.
