Features: This textbook is designed for advanced university students majoring in Thai. The course on public speaking and narrative aims to train students' Thai expression skills. After more than two years of systematic learning, students have acquired basic language proficiency and are now entering the stage of expansion and improvement. To cultivate students' habit of thinking in Thai and learning authentic language, the content of this book is entirely selected from original sources. The vocabulary and phrases after the texts are not provided with Chinese translations, with the goal of enabling students to become accustomed to using Thai-Thai dictionaries and practicing explaining definitions in Thai. The book is divided into five units based on the type of expression. These include: introducing oneself or others, narration, speeches, presentations, and statements. The content provided in each unit is not textbook lessons but model texts, requiring students to study the model texts and prepare their own presentations by referring to them, leaving ample room for creativity. The discussion topics and activities after each unit offer students broad themes and lively, effective classroom activities. The evaluation forms after each unit require students to assess each other's language, content, demeanor, attire, mastery of presentation time, and communication with the audience, fully reflecting the teaching objectives of this course.
