| Abstract | Buddhism is now widely accepted and flourishing in Western culture. English is one of the most important mediums used for 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 English for Buddhism propagation through Buddhism glossaries and materials. 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. |
