Abstract	Results of a 1982-1983 survey of the Thai business community concerning its needs for English language skills and of a survey of the course offerings at Thai colleges and universities are reported and discussed. The industry survey targeted 60 of the 600 largest Thai companies in manufacturing, trading, finance, hotels and health care. The university survey focused on the business English offerings of four state universities, two private universities, and two private colleges. The reported amount and importance of English language use in general and of five language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation) within the universities and in the foreign dealings of the companies surveyed is tabulated. The offerings, enrollment, methods, and materials used in business English instruction in the higher education institutions are reported, and their relevance and value are estimated, based in part on results of a survey of graduates.
