Be loud and be proud

Postbox letter from David

One reason that Thais should study English is to make their family proud. Your parents and grandparents will be proud of you if you can speak English.


The real deal

Postbox letter from Juan de la Cruz

English cannot be learned in school alone. Even if you're the most effective English teacher in the whole world, a student will only learn English to full extent if he/she uses it outside of the classroom.


A view from the student’s side of the classroom

Perspectives on becoming a student again

For the most part, I was teaching (in a variety of different capacities) during the years I was also pursuing my graduate studies. Now once again I am alternating between the front and rear of the classroom, and this can be an effective method to help one to keep the student's perspective in mind when the time of the day comes for one to assume the role of teacher.

If one can speak, read and write Thai at the level needed to study at a university, there are an abundance of educational opportunities available locally.
