What do you guys think are the problems in speaking english and the factors contributing to the problems,based on the article?

So...the discussion this time is about 'Factors Affecting english Speaking Problem among engineering students'. Eventhough the study is in thai-nichi institute of technology....we can relate ourselves to the topic because we are engineering students. Nonetheless, the results of the study may vary if conducted in UTHM due to differences in way of thinking or attitude in general.

From the study...there were a few different hypothesis and thus making the results having a few different findings
1) Overall, the students agreed that factors such as ‘teacher’ affect positively student motivation toward learning English.Also, students also found it almost agreeable that factors such as ‘class course’ affect positively student motivation toward learning English
2) The students whose grades in English were ‘above average’ were motivated toward learning the English Language significantly more than those whose grades in English were ‘up to average.’ Attitudes toward English learning was significantly more for students whose grades in English were ‘above average’ than the students whose grades were ‘up to average.’ Factors such as “teachers” or “class room” affecting motivation were more for students whose grades in English were ‘above average’ than those whose grades in English were ‘up to average’
3) The students who watch English programs on TV channels were motivated toward learning the English language significantly more than students who watch “Arabic programs’.

for the article give by Dr Zailin , from my reading here are the objective state by the journalist :
> What is the students’ attitude toward learning the English language?
> What is the students’ integrative motivation toward learning the English language?
> What is the students’ instrumental motivation toward learning the English language?
> How do teachers’ attitude and teaching behavior in class affect the students’ motivation toward learning English?
> How do class courses affect the motivation of students toward learning the English language?
> What are the outcomes of motivation in changing and adopting new learning strategies toward learning English?
> What are the various difficulties and negative feelings faced by students while learning  the English Language?
> How can teachers and class courses be related with attitude toward English language, integrative motivation, and instrumental motivation?
> What are the relationships between these various independent and dependent variables? The researcher tested

since kuwait is a country with its own language,english language is very important as a 2nd language. from the article, I learned that most of the curriculum in Kuwait university are in english.
