Abstract
This research paper aims to examine students’ and instructors’ opinions towards the 3 levels of foundation English courses taught at the Language Institute, Thammasat University in the academic year 2009. Statistical results yielded from instructors and students through the means of a questionnaire will be a valuable resource for the Language Institute to further develop foundation courses of use for all. Instructors and students were observed (observed how?) in the area of their opinions towards the physical learning, teaching environment and learning equipment, course content, textbook and supplementary worksheets, assessment and evaluation, benefits of the course and their satisfaction of the course. The population of this research involved all students taking foundation English courses conducted at the Rangsit campus in the 2009 academic year and 98 instructors. Results revealed that EL070, EL171 and EL171 students and instructors have high opinions on the physical and teaching environment and equipment, the textbook/ supplementary worksheets as well as assessment and evaluation. However, it is important to note that the students rated the opinion scale to be higher than the instructors in nearly all of the aspects.
