Today I learned about Problems Teaching English in Thai context by discussion in group by talking with friends. The problems were effected from both of teacher and students such as; teacher didn't have activities to encourage students, students disliked English subject because they didn't have opportunities to use or communicate English in their real lives, etc.
After that we read "English-Teaching Problems in Thailand and Thai Teachers' Professional Development Needs" and summarized it.
1. Introduction
1.1 English Education Failure in Thailand
- Thais' English proficiency is relatively low in many tests; TOEFL, O-Net, survey of Cambridge.
1.2 Causes of Failure
- Students: poorly-motivated students, learners of mixed abilities in overly large classes, rare opportunities for students exposure to English outside of class time, being too shy to speak English.
- Teacher: unqualified and poorly-trained teachers, teachers heavy teaching loads, teachers' insufficient English language skills and cultural knowledge.
- How to solve: create the best environment for learning.
1.3 Attempts to Improve the Situation.
- organizing training sessions, seminar, conferences every two years for teacher.
In addition, teacher taught about components of research both in and out from Thailand.
