- This article provides a comprehensive examination of English as a Subject in Basic Education (ESBE) in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, situating it within the broader context of the nation’s language policy and education system. Drawing on policy documents, empirical research, and comparative regional analysis, the article traces the development of English language education policies in Laos, documents the progress achieved in curriculum development and teacher education, and identifies persistent challenges facing ESBE implementation. The analysis reveals that while Laos has made significant strides in integrating English into basic education—particularly through curriculum reform and international partnerships—substantial challenges remain in teacher preparation, resource allocation, and reconciling multilingual realities with instructional practices. Comparative insights from other ASEAN contexts highlight both shared regional challenges and opportunities for collaborative solutions in advancing English language education across Southeast Asia.
