• W144355411 abstract "ABSTRACTWhile most that schools have limited success in producing English speaking/literate students, some high schools, especially in Bangkok, have achieved excellent results. This research examined nine of the leading high schools in Bangkok by distributing 378 questionnaires (67 questions per questionnaire) to grade 10 - 12 students.The questionnaire results suggest that English background; teachers; attitudes towards English, personality traits; strategies; and activities outside classrooms have a substantial impact on students' success in English.IntroductionBackground of the studyThis paper gives a more detailed account and somewhat different perspective of the research originally published in the proceedings of the chulalongkorn university, language institute international conference (kirkpatrick & jianrattanapong, 2011).while it is increasingly important that thai people become competent in English only a minority are fluent in English and a study by chaiboonruang & kanpanit (cited in thakhong, 2003) found that even most thai English teachers had little or no confidence in their English speaking ability, hardly attended English teaching courses, did not have time for lesson plans and did not have an understanding of psychology of foreign language teaching.However, there are some sectors where success in English is more common, and this study investigated factors contributing to English success of thai students at the leading high schools in bangkok. The study included nine1 of the top ten high schools where students had the highest accumulated scores from o-net (ordinary national educational testing), of which English is a compulsory component, during 2005 - 2007 announced by the national institution of educational testing service (niets). O-net results are a major component of university entrance and thus students with low results in English are severely disadvantaged in terms of choice of university. We are thus confident that this study gives a solid sampling of some of the most successful schools and students in the field of English learning.Scope of the studyThe population of this study was grade 10 - 12 students in nine leading high schools in Bangkok, total 9,429 students, and the sampling was 378 students.Literature reviewThere are various factors affecting the success of students in English and many of these are beyond the scope of this paper. The study looked at six factors including: teachers and students' toward English and culture, strategies, outside classroom activities, personality traits, learners' background, and test washback.A study by skantz (2007) shows that students are motivated to do well in class when they like the teacher. And domyei and otto (1998), found that teachers have to create motivational conditions, generate student motivation, and maintain and protect motivation (thanasoulas, 2008). In creating these motivational classes teachers should generate good teacher-student rapport and create a pleasant and supportive classroom atmosphere and so on.Students' towards English and the culture is another factor that makes students interested in lessons. Krashen (1981, p.23) says that attitude of learners to the class and the teacher may relate to both acquisition and learning hence, learners who feel that language in classrooms is fun and have a good towards instructors will be more likely to learn the language. Naiman, frolich and todesco (1975 as cited in ratchadawisitsakul, 1987) analyzed the information from interviews with 34 learners and found that in addition to motivation, good teachers, environments that encourage language learning, personality, a positive towards the culture and the language owners are important factors for success in second language learning. Prodromou (1992) states that it is interesting for students to discover a culture difference and a case study conducted by lakkunaprasit (1992) also reflects that positive towards English is a personality trait that contributes to success in English. …" @default.
