Teach English in Thailand, make English the most popular subject!  A great way for the international volunteer to learn to teach and improve his/her communication skills.

Children and teenagers at schools, adults in national parks and villages. Some volunteers teach English to teachers. Many Thai and Lao teachers don’t speak English yet they teach English and need help.

 

With games, songs, role  plays, with Thai teachers, in a classroom, outside, after school, an English club. Some creative volunteers make inexpensive and fun English material for poor schools.
English is best learnt when practiced. Our international volunteers teach English by practicing 'Listen and Speak' in and outside the classroom. They teach English by going to the market, walking around town, going shopping, using computers, CD ROM’s. They talk about their home country, show pictures, talk about daily activities, the family, the farm, the village. Teach English in Thailand in a fun and creative way! 
You can teach English together with another volunteer or with a Thai teacher, which we recommend, though some teachers prefer the volunteer to teach alone.

The best results are achieved when volunteers teach English together with Thai teachers. Read what a volunteer says about team teaching:
Adjan Newpoon makes extremely good use of me as a native speaker of English, in listening exercises and to help students with pronunciation.
I read a short paragraph, introducing myself. Such as: My name is Marc Johnson. I am 27 years old and come from Holland. My hobbies are snow boarding, traveling, computers and listening to rock music.
I read this slowly two or three times, and then I ask true or false questions such as: My surname is Marc; I come from England; I have two sisters etc. 
These lessons would not be possible without the help of a Thai teacher to explain things, check understanding in Thai, as well as English, and of course keep the class in order! We hold a planning meeting each week, to review what we have covered, and the lesson plans for the coming week.
