Scaffolding provided in a CALL Program
Samphao Duangkaew
School of Liberal Arts, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT)
Classrooms
Modeling
Demonstrating how to deal with the task
Classrooms
Using cue cards
Helping the learners to remember the words that they have to say
Classrooms
Pair work
Helping each other to compete the task by sharing opinions, giving feedback and discussing a topic
What is scaffolding? Vygotsky’s theory about ZPD (1978)
Temporary frameworks that support a building
Temporary supports that help the learners to achieve the task (Wood, Bruner and Ross, 1976)
Guidelines that help stimulate the learners’ completing the task (Eggen and Kauchak, 1994)
The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
The actual development level
What the learners can do
without assistance
The potential development level
What the learners cannot do yet

Scaffolding in the Zone of Proximal Development
“Scaffolding helps the learners move through the ZPD by enabling them to
eventually complete tasks independently”

Usefulness of scaffolding
Helps the learners to accomplish a task by breaking it down into small steps
Enhances learners’ self-esteem to learn
Reduces learners’ level of frustration in learning

Rationale of the study
Study types and forms of scaffolding provided in the Remedial English Program
The Remedial English Program (2003)
An interactive computer-based self-access material
Aims at developing students’ English skills
Developed by a group of university teachers (2002-2003).
Produced for the undergraduate students
Distributed to every university in Thailand
The Remedial English Program
Research Methodology
2 stages of the study1. Types of scaffolding2. Effectiveness of using the scaffolding

Counting the frequency of scaffolding
The frequency of scaffolding appeared on the screen was decided by the mouse operation.
One click represents one occurrence of a
scaffold.
