This research aimed 1) to investigate the needs for developing English learning materials based on the local context of Chaiyaphum Province for secondary school students, 2) to develop the English Online Course for Local Learning designed for self-directed learners utilizing natural, cultural, and local wisdom resources in Chaiyaphum, and 3) to study the effects of using the English Online Course for Local Learning. The study was conducted in two phases. In Phase 1, the sample consisted of 96 secondary school teachers selected through multi-stage random sampling. A questionnaire was used, and the data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. In Phase 2, the sample included 100 secondary school students in the second semester of the 2024 academic year, also selected through multi-stage random sampling. The research instruments were an English Proficiency Test and the English Online Course for Local Learning, while the data were analyzed using the Paired-Samples T-Test. The findings revealed that: 1) the needs for developing the English Online Course for Local Learning were at the highest level (= 4.61, S.D. = 0.49); 2) the developed English Online Course for Local Learning was highly effective for self-directed English learning (
= 4.67, S.D. = 0.57); and 3) students’ English proficiency between pre-test and post-test scores had the statistical significant difference at 0.01 level.
