Abstract
This research aims to discover and to pinpoint perceptions and preferences of
Thai university students and lecturers regarding two relatable variants of British and
American literature sold within Thailand - the original ‘English’ and the translated
‘Thai’ versions. Questionnaire surveys were provided to 135 participants, and face-toface interviews were conducted with 18 participants belonging to four university
departments (English, Foreign Languages, Literature, and Translation). The results
show the participants have ‘universal’ perceptions and preferences where literary
works are considered relatable to their academic development. They majorly believe
the original version should be considered the primary reading version while the
translated version should be the supportive material. On the other hand, the
respondents display ‘department-specific’ perceptions and preferences where each
department emphasizes different specific aspects of literature related to their
respective academic fields, slightly differ their opinions. Nevertheless, both versions
are positively perceived for having quality as a possible alternative EFL learning
method. The research also discussed possible cycles of learning with literary works,
which encourages continuous usage of literature as well as further academic research
or studies toward literary reading in Thailand.
