English is one of the most important mediums usedfor communicating and exchanging ideas, and it is also doubtless related to the dissemination of Buddhism, especially by Thai overseas Dhammaduta monks who conduct Buddhism propagation abroad. Many Dhammaduta monks are capable to use English effectively for missionary purposes. Similarly, many people continue to struggle with English. The lack of English language skills and fluency most likely hinders the dissemination of Dhamma teachings from being as effective as it could be. The prospective purpose of this research was to study the English utilization of Thai overseas Dhammaduta monks in diversified dimensions, including investigating the English language deficits of those Dhammaduta monks. The methodology of this present study was observation and case studies. In this investigation, the researchers themselves found the cause of insufficient improvements in the English usage of Dhammaduta monks when the researchers used to be Thai overseas Dhammaduta monks in Germany and the United States of America for many years. The study displayed the guidelines for improvement and development of learning English in various ways; ( 1) Studying English in a language institute with a native speaker (2) Practicing English in daily life (3) Practicing Englishfor Buddhism propagation through Buddhism glossaries andmaterials. This will be presented to show the English usage, resolve weaknesses and develop the English language potential for maximum efficiency in Buddhist propagation of Thai overseas Dhammaduta monks.  \nKeywords: English; Dhammaduta Monks; Buddhism Propagation  \nIntroduction  \nAs everyone has already realized, Thailand is one of the world's most considerable Buddhist centers, with many populations practicing Buddhism, especially the Theravada tradition (Phramaha Varasaya & Chanomkorn, 2020) . Around the world, it seems to be more captivating to non-Buddhists. In this scenario, numerous overseas Dhammaduta monks from Thailand are residing abroad, particularly in the United States of America. They spread Buddhism to Thais and outsiders alike (Phramaha Suriya, 2015) .  \nSince the time of the Lord Buddha, Buddhism has been practiced, and the Buddha's teachings have been preserved in the Tripitaka, which has served as its primary source of authority up to the present. There are many qualifications required of Thai overseas Dhammaduta monks who are charged with spreading Buddhism abroad. According to Phramaha Samarn, the desirable characteristics of Dhammaduta monks in the propagation of Buddhism in the United States of America should consist of five strategic leadership qualities as follows: (1) having a high level of understanding; (2) being capable of bringing various inputs together to formulate strategies; (3) having expectations and creating opportunities for the future; (4) practicing strategic thinking; and (5) having a determined vision (Phramaha Samarn Jataviriyo, 2020).
