ESL Teaching
Thailand Internship Placement
Options
- Full-time volunteer
- Internship
- Part-time volunteer
- Volunteer Only
This program consists of working with local students at various primary, secondary, and high schools. Students are between 4 and 18 years old. The different schools accept a non-formal approach to teaching. This means that we will not have to conform to the local Thai teaching methods or style, but everyone will be free to choose their own way of teaching and may bring their own ideas into class. It is important to understand that the methods of teaching are less important than the attitude of the participant towards the students. In addition, the subjects to be taught can alter, depending on current activities in the schools which might include, for example, environmental issues or current festivals.
The teaching program serves a dual purpose; of course it is meant to help children in rural Thailand to have a chance to speak more English (usually even their teachers aren’t up to standard) and secondly it will give you an insight into the Thai education system as well as a good chance to become good friends with students and teachers
Monday to Friday A portion of your first day will be spent with a morning tour of the school and all its facilities, organizing and balancing a range of classes for your duration at the school, with some schools your schedule can be flexible and you may also have some say in what classes you prefer to teach, but you should be prepared to teach 3-6 hours a day. You will have lunch at the school and can expect to remain there
