5.泰國一所大學的研究結果顯示，泰國教育部政策雖然規定，泰國學生需從小學至高中共計12年學習英文，但大部分泰國學生還不能用英語溝通，至今連一些博士畢業的大學教師也無法在日常生活中使用英文。調查發現，導致此種狀況的原因，可能是學生學習英文的目標僅為能考上大學，學習英語時，只強調文法而忽略口語技能。In Thailand, a research result found by a local university shows even though the Thai Ministry of Education has specifically ruled from the elementary schools to senior high schools, the Thai students need to learn English for 12 consecutive years, the majority of Thai students cannot communicate with the others in English effectively. So far, certain people teaching in the universities in Thailand who are PhD degree holders cannot apply English in their daily lives either. According to the research, the result is probably due to the fact that the students learn English to be able to enter the universities (and to pass the exams). When these students learn English, they emphasize on the grammatical rules instead of the conversational skills.
