  • Programs We Offer

    At the undergraduate level, the School of Foreign Languages serves as the language

    center responsible for foundation English courses for non-English majors. In addition
    to English foundation courses, we also offer Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese
    language courses as electives which are taught by native speakers.

  • Graduate Programs
    The School offers two international graduate programs: Master and Doctor of
    Philosophy in English Language Studies with a concentration in three areas, i.e.
    language analysis, language teaching, and technology enhanced language learning. The
    doctoral program is recognized as the first PhD program in language teaching to be
    offered in Thailand. Graduates of the program are well-equipped with both theoretical
    and research knowledge so that they are able to enter any field related to English and
    language learning/teaching.
