The sample of the study was 100 students, 10 English teachers from five High Schools for questionnaires, and five Headmasters from five High Schools for interviews. After obtaining the data, the frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation of the questionnaires were calculated. 

The results obtaining from the teachers’ questionnaires revealed that English teaching problem involving other factors contributing to successful teaching was agreed as a high level of agreement. Regarding with this, the top problematic factors were: (1) the budget for constructing or supplying teaching media is little, (2) the salary of teachers is very low.

Moreover, problems involving curricula & textbook, students and teachers were agreed at high level of agreement. The top problematic factors were: regarding curricula & textbook, (1) teachers are a lack of opportunity to select the textbooks, regarding students, (2) students lack opportunities of using English outside the class, and regarding teachers (3) the teachers’ using translation method for teaching English.

However, problem involving assessment was moderately agreed. The top problematic factors concerning these were: the teachers have the difficulties in constructing the test speaking skill and listening skill.

In addition, the results obtaining from student questionnaires to investigate their attitude toward English learning revealed that the top problematic factors were teachers’ using translation method, lack of teaching material and having difficulty in listening skill. The findings from the teachers’ interviews revealed that the students were not motivated to study English and they lacked practice on their own. Furthermore, the teachers suggested that a smaller class size based on students’ level was needed to improve the teaching quality. For further research, the main suggestion of this study is that more studies should be conducted to analyze English teaching problems not only High Schools in Taunggyi city but also High Schools around Myanmar using a larger number of teachers and students and using different research tools for collecting data.
