The objectives of this research were 1) to develop Computer Role-Playing Game (CRPG) model to reinforce positive attitude toward Thai language of Thai Muslim students in three southern border provinces; 2) to study Thai Muslim students’ attitude toward Thai language via CRPG usage; and 3) to study the attitude change of Thai Muslim students toward Thai language after continued using CRPG. The samples were 90 Matthayom 1 students at Islamic private school in three southern border provinces. They were selected by multiple-stage sampling technique. The research results were as follows: 1) the computer role-playing game model to reinforce positive attitude toward Thai language composed of 1.1) Positive Attitudes Enhancement framework (ARRS principle framework) such as Attention, Relevance, Re-behavior, and Satisfaction 1.2) CRPG elements which included of 7 elements such as content and story, character, task/activity, user interface, environment, resource and rule/regulation.

And 3) the students’ attitude change after continued using CRPG for 2 weeks later, totally 4 weeks, was statistically significant higher than used CRPG 2 weeks ago at .01.
