(File photo by Thiti Wannamontha)A recent report about the low proficiency in English of Thai students came as no surprise to many. In the latest English Proficiency Index conducted by Education First, a global language school operator, Thailand is ranked 53rd among 80 non-native English speaking countries and territories. The EF English Proficiency Index has only confirmed national test results released earlier this year. Many excuses have been given for the poor English skills of Thai students and the general public. But we are still behind our neighbours in English proficiency.
