Abstract
The objectives of this research article were to investigate factors affecting teaching and learning process in English for Buddhist Academic Purpose class. 2) To explore causes of problems for teaching and learning process in English for Buddhist Academic Purpose class. 3) To provide the recommendations for improving teaching and learning methods in English for Buddhist Academic Purpose class. It was hypothesized that several factors namely, subject content, teaching method, lecturers, students and class environment have the influence on the quality of teaching and learning in English Buddhist Academic Purpose class. To test this hypothesis, the researcher conducted the focus group interview, which included 17 Master Degree students per each lecturer in the academic year 2015. The respondents answered questionnaires and data were analyzed by using percentage, mean, standard deviation and chi-square test. It was found that 1) Factors like subject content, teaching method, lecturers, students and class environment have highly affected the teaching and learning process in English for Buddhist Academic Purpose class. 2) However, the result of the hypothesis test showed that those mentioned factors did not cause any problems in English for Buddhist Academic Purpose 3) Students have commented that since learners’ English skills are quite different, it may cause difficulties in teaching and learning process in the class. Hence, before starting the class, students should be taught Basic English grammar. Students must have an opportunity to practice their skills with native English- speaking teachers.
