Why do Thai students find learning English boring?
Students learn English for many years but they memorize, learn by heart and find this boring. They never learn to speak English. The teachers are taught to teach English by heart, memorizing.
As a volunteer in Thailand, the Northeast, you can make a big difference. Help students Learn by Doing!
When you learn Motivation comes first and Confidence second!
When young people who go to find a job, especially in the tourism sector, they realize that the better their English, the better their pay. And they learn English by doing when they speak English with tourists, foreigners. They are motivated to learn English and they gain more confidence to speak English.
Our volunteers are much appreciated, since they practice learning by doing English in conversations, role plays, games, songs, and ball sports.
Our volunteers also help students learn to use computers, to use the internet to learn English and about the world. Some volunteers even help students to learn coding.
