English as a foreign language teaching, which is covered by this policy change,
is becoming increasingly important in all aspects of Thai life for social, economic as
well as academic global communication. However although Thai students have learned English in formal education for at least ten years before they graduate from
the universities, recent research on the proficiency of the graduates suggests that the
English language curriculum in Thai schools and universities has not been meeting
the demands for workplace English (Wiriyachitra, 2002; Keyurawong, 2002). While
the new policy is meant to address these needs, its potential impact on English
proficiency, i.e., will students be more proficient at graduation, remains to be seen
