Online Submission, M.A. Thesis, Ifugao State University
This study was conducted at IRPC Technological College, Thailand. The objectives of this study were to investigate (1) The attitude of students towards English; (2) The attitude of students towards teaching English; (3) The competence level of their English. The participants were asked to answer and complete the survey questionnaires that would reveal their positive and negative attitudes towards English. The findings revealed that the students are neutral towards learning English and favorable on how English is taught; their levels of attitude are influenced by their major and length of study but not by their age and gender; their basic competence in English is determined by their major but not by their age, gender and length of study; and their attitude towards English learning is not significantly related to their English competence. The researcher provided the recommendations for language teachers and the management group to develop a program that would encourage and motivate students to improve in their studies.
