Abstrákta:The study aimed to determine the correspondence association between English proficiency and demographic factors of EFL students. The sample consisted of 385 non-English major students at Burapha University, Thailand. The English test scores and demographic factors were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, the Chi-square test, and correspondence analysis. The results showed that English proficiency was not associated with gender. However, the English proficiency level corresponded with the age groups and faculties. Moreover, students from high-income families tended to have higher proficiency, while those from moderate-income families tended to have moderate proficiency. Parents' education and occupations also correspond with the English proficiency level.
