The internal factors included students’ attitudes toward learning English and their motivation to learn English, while the external factors involved the English teaching and learning process and students’ learning behaviors. The family factors consisted of parental support and parental expectations that influence students’English learning. The study was conducted among 893 first-year undergraduate students at Thaksin University in the academic year 2025, selected using simple random sampling based on Taro Yamane’s formula. The research instrument used for data collection was a Likert-scale questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.923. Data analysis was carried out using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient to identify the relationships among the variables. The findings revealed that the internal, external, and family factors influencing English learning were rated at a high level overall (Mean = 3.91, S. D. = 0.62) . Furthermore, all six specific factors—attitudes toward learning English, motivation to learn English, the English teaching and learning process, students’ English learning behaviors, parental support, and parental expectations—showed a positive correlation with students’ English learning at Thaksin University in the academic year 2025, with statistical significance at the .01 level according to students’ opinions.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Factors impinging, English language learning, English learning motivation. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author.

In Thailand, English language education is a strategic priority, aligning with the National Education Plan to equip students with the skills necessary for the global workforce. Consequently, higher education institutions have integrated English as a mandatory component of their curricula to ensure  \ngraduates meet international standards.  \nDespite these robust policy frameworks, achieving standardized English proficiency remains a persistent challenge. At Thaksin University, undergraduate students must meet specific benchmarks aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) . However, recent institutional data reveal a significant disparity: of 5,325 students assessed, only  \nAfr Educ Res J 542  \n6.97% achieved the B2 level, while the vast majority fell into the A1 and A2 categories. This outcome highlights a critical failure to meet the standard set for raising English proficiency in higher education. (Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, 2023) .  \nWhile existing literature has extensively explored general factors affecting English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning in Thailand, such studies often focus on urban-centric universities or specialized language programs.
