Background
In 2023, the British Council will conduct context-specific research in this area to have a better understanding of the “state of play” of English as a Subject (EaS) in the tertiary sector in Thailand. The research findings are expected to shed light on developments since the 2016 policy briefing and provide the basis for more targeted approaches into future EaS research in higher education.
The relevance of English exit exams for university graduates and English proficiency demands of employers in Thailand
This research project was carried out under the English as a Subject (EaS) in Higher Education in Thailand grant provided by the British Council. Throughout the project, the research team received valuable support and assistance from several institutions and individuals.
The objectives for conducting this study are:
- to survey current exit exams for English (EEEs) available at Thai universities; and
- to identify the English proficiency skills that companies prioritise in their employees.
