Abstract | The purpose of this research was to highlight the problems ESL students faced when studying social studies at Saint Joseph Bangna School. In particular, what improvements could be made to the kinds of academic exercises contained within the books & websites as teaching materials. It was designed around three research questions relating to what problems students faced when studying social studies. What kinds of academic exercises do their social studies books and websites contain. And finally in what ways can these books and websites be improved. The researcher carried out a broad, shallow and qualitative approach using three phases starting with a student survey of the books. The second phase was a more in-depth study of 50 books from Saint Joseph School Bangna library & Saint Gabriel's library and a random sample of 25 websites. The research findings were recorded on data tables and it was shown that many of the books used for ESL social studies had few quality academic exercises for students to study the necessary grammar and other items to prepare them for studying. As a result, the researcher completed the research by designing new style academic exercises that focused on these vital study areas of vocabulary and related grammar related to the texts.
