This study examines factors affecting secondary-school English teachers’ adoption of the 2015revised curriculum and the extent of their impacts on the successful implementation of thecurriculum ahead of the 2015 implementation. A questionnaire was administered to 93secondary English teachers related to teachers’ competency, attitude toward the curriculum,knowledge about the curriculum, and school context. After confirming correlations betweenthese factors, several causal flows were identified through a path analysis using Amos. The mostinfluential factor regarding teachers’ willingness to implement the new curriculum was positiveattitude toward the curriculum. The next influential factor was knowledge of the curriculum. The last influential factor, cooperative relationships between fellow English teachers, indirectlyinfluenced their willingness to implement the curriculum (mediated by knowledge of thecurriculum). These results reveal what efforts are needed to implement the 2015 revisedcurriculum at the class, school, and governmental policy level.
