“Development Education in
Thailand into ASEAN community”
Education in Thailand,
teaching Thai students in EFL classroom, is not effective. In Thailand, teachers usually teach students focused on
lectured teaching, so students cannot move their physical skills or using authentic
language in situation that is familiar with their live. Likewise,
students cannot produce the productive skills (speaking and writing skill).
This problem comes from main three factors such as teachers, students and materials. Before
teaching, teachers should understand how curriculum is leads to planning lesson
plan. Next, teachers prepare materials and how to teach students in the EFL
classroom focused on CLT method. Then, teachers teach students, teachers should
allow them to do activities most. After that, teachers use rubrics to evaluate
how they develop English, teachers should tell students what they improve. In this section, I would like to talk about how to plan
lesson plan and what teachers should be in teaching.
Teaching Thai
students in the EFL classroom is not difficult. However, teachers
should know what they need or what they should be. Teachers should understand
English curriculum before planning lesson plan. If teachers need to teach
students how speaking skill is, they have to teach students focused on speaking
most. In teaching, there are five steps, including (1.) warm-up (2.) presentation
(3.) practice (4.) production and (5.) evaluation. Teachers may show pictures
and ask students a question what we will learn today in warm-up step. Next,
teachers teach students about lesson and ask students to check understanding by
using why? or how? Then, teachers allow students to do activities in pair or
work group for practice step. After that, teachers use rubrics to evaluate
students’ competence. Good teachers should teach students to use English in the
real situation.
Conclusion,
teaching English for Thai students should be familiar with the real life
situation where they faced. English
teachers in century 21 th should be good at planning lesson plan, teaching
method, grammar and using authentic materials. Teachers should teach students
by using CLT and CBL method together. In addition, students are taught what
lesson connected to their live. For example, teachers teach students about
asking for direction. Teachers may show a map about Nakhon Si Thammarat and
teach students how to ask and answer direction using preposition. Next,
teachers should them examples related to the map. Then, students understand how
to ask and answer the direction. After that, teachers may let them to work in
pair. In my opinion, I think if students can ask and answer the direction with
the foreigners in the real situation such as the Phrathat temple, so they can
do activities related to aim. How do you think about education in Thailand at this present?
Why should Thai teachers teach English for Thai
students in the EFL classroom?
