谨向西班牙语专业教师 Fuangket Tongwanchai 助理教授 与 Chadchavan Sritong 助理教授 致以最热烈的祝贺！两位老师的研究成果已被发表于国际顶尖学术期刊 Porta Linguarum（Scopus Q1，2025年第XV期特刊）。

文章一：泰国西班牙语学习者在拒绝言语行为中的语用能力发展

作者：助理教授 Fuangket Tongwanchai 博士

该研究强调了学习者除语法外还应具备应对“拒绝”等具体情境的“语用能力”。通过对95名受试者的问卷分析发现，高低年级在拒绝语用上无显著提升，表明亟需引入“礼貌策略”教育，以防跨文化交际失误。

文章二：专门用途西班牙语教学中的内容与语言整合学习（CLIL）：课程与教学建议

作者：助理教授 Fuangket Tongwanchai & 助理教授 Chadchavan Sritong

本文探讨了 CLIL 教学法在提升本科“专门用途西班牙语”（SSP）质量中的应用。研究指出，目前课程正朝旅游及健康管理多元化发展，并建议通过协作开发资源和整合数字工具来应对本土教学资源匮乏的挑战。

两项研究成果发现的新知，对泰国的西班牙语教学发展具有深远且极其重要的学术价值。再次向杰出的老师致以最崇高的敬意与祝贺！
