Abstract

This research aimed to (1) investigate factors affecting English language learning among secondary school students in Chiang Rai Province and (2) analyze the relationships between factors influencing English language learning among secondary school students in Chiang Rai Province. This study employed a qualitative research method. The participants consisted of students and teachers from Phra Pariyattidhamma Schools (General Education Division) in Chiang Rai Province. The sample included students currently studying at the secondary education level from 10 schools, with five monk students/students from each school, totaling 50 participants, as well as 10 English language teachers.
The research findings revealed that (1) the factors affecting students’ English learning in secondary schools in Chiang Rai Province included learner-related, teacher-related, instructional management, learning media and technology, and environmental and family-support factors. Learner-related factors exerted the greatest influence, followed by instructional management and teacher-related factors; and (2) the correlation analysis indicated that all factors were positively and significantly associated with students’ English learning outcomes, with learner-related and instructional management factors demonstrating stronger relationships than the other factors.
