In this research, I’m going to focusing on the English as a language is being taught in many countries oversea today including Thailand. In fact, you’ll be surprising to know that English is required for many of the students in many countries. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily taught as well as it could be because of heavy teaching load, class sizes and adequate technology. Learning an English today still's has been challenging for many countries and specifically in Thailand. In Thailand, the student often gets too overwhelmed with English and mentally tune out in the classroom because English was their least favorite subjects. On the other hand, the students don’t have a resource at school or they don’t have it enough. Furthermore, many students just go to English class and switch back to Thai as soon as they out of school. English isn't used locally in Thailand. Although, there still a lot students continue care about English language because English has been the most ordinarily utilized language internationally and the language of traffic control and the majority of academic journals. It’s the most common language on the internet and the language that travelers use to communicate with different native speakers.

In their opinion in countries that English is not their native language it has negative impact on culture and mother tongue.

Therefore, all of these researches widely declare that English as a medium of instruction has benefits to improve educational system of and to develop a country that English is not their native

The classes for the same are held at the Islamic centre after the ordinary school classes every evening. Amid the initial couple of days or weeks after the landing of new students in the institution, providing this administration is ordinarily exceptionally troublesome as we are compelled to go about as translators to the students, particularly those with no information of English whatsoever. I learnt from my own experience at the organization as a Saudi student that the new students face issues in both communication as well as written English. They are neither capable of pronouncing English words nor writing these words in a correct way. It results in making communication extremely troublesome. Accordingly, I customize my lessons to focus on pronunciation and sentence development and on composition as well. Students are given a lot of reading material for pronunciation and

English has undergone some changes in relation to its status in the world. Some years ago, it only became the first or second language for several countries. Nowadays, alongside with the development of information, communication, and technology the status of English becomes a lingua franca in the world. That is, a language that is used as a means of communication between people with different language. This change, of course, brings some impacts in the roles of English as a language. English is not seen as a language for identity anymore. Yet, it functions mainly as a means of communication.
