The pedagogy designed specifically equips the children the ability to answer basic questions, it also trains them to master basic skills and knowledge in listening and speaking in their daily life. The research begins by collecting and analyzing data from previous related researches, projects, as well as the volunteers’ observations and real-life experiences. Especially, the real experiences of the project participants as voluntary English teachers were emphasized.
The findings are as below:
1. Listening to sound: those who love music and singing find that learning a language is easy.
2. Speaking to foreigners is fun, because both parties put in much effort and have to try hard to understand each other. In this regard they use their body languages as well as linguistic skills to convey their thoughts.
3. From the collected data, we find that children who stay near the town of Khlong Ngae are more active, open and brave to speak; while the children who live in the village areas are more reserved and shy. Hence, breaking their reservation must be done through using simple and friendly conversations, activities and games to develop trust and confidence in speaking English.
4. Finally, there might be suggestions that learning English should start from developing listening skills. English should be used as a medium in English Class to give students more opportunity to use it, and that body language is an important tool for teaching and learning English. Learning is best done when there is no stress, as it helps to open up the students’ minds, and the individual effort of the students is also a very important factor.

The subjects used in this study were 40 students in the Intensive Science Math English Program (ISME Program) at Sukasanari School. The research instrument in this study was a questionnaire asking for demographic information of the respondents and their listening problems. A total of 37 close-ended questions using a Likert scale and an open-ended question were provided in the questionnaire. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program was used to analyze all the close-ended questions. The findings showed that most of the respondents sometimes have listening problems when they listen to foreign teachers in class. The problems were caused by the message including unknown vocabulary, long messages leading to difficultly interpreting the message, the physical environment, the listeners, and the speakers. The findings of this study may be useful for teachers at matthayom level to find ways to improve their students’ English listening skills and help teachers to design course materials and teaching strategies to meet students’ needs.
