Abstract

Unocal Thailand has been providing English language training for its employees for over fifteen years. For the most part, this training has been for new employees and has prepared them for their job in the petroleum industry as well as for further technical training in English. Recently, however, the company has shifted from pre-service training to upgrade training of workers already in the field. This article deals with an approach to provide proficiency upgrade programs in listening and reading to full-time workers while wrestling with problems of scheduling and motivation.
