As a part of my study, I went with my friends to teach in one of the International schools in Thailand today.
Established
by Dr Chin Chinsettawong, Associate Judge of The Central Labor Court of
Thailand, Sunflower Trilingual School is approximately one and half hours drive from Mahidol University. The school aims to be a community learning centre and prepares the children in developing their physical, emotional, intellectual and social maturity. The children are encouraged to develop and use English and Chinese languages besides their native Thai.
Teaching students in a school that follows a curriculum of international parity is really enriching. The students are always open, restless, bold and courageous. And surprisingly, hesitations and fear of a teacher is a forgotten stories for all of them.

Thank you for making the best use of the photos we took earlier today. A round of applause for Ajahn Namkang and other Ajahns for guiding us and preparing us for this big day!!!
ReplyDeleteI did it thinking that a moment will come to for us to recall the day on teaching density. haha.
DeleteDon't worry, on your behalf, I have already sent an acknowledgement to the professors.
Your pictures tell half of the story. Beside your write up, I really enjoyed the photos. Always do the same - if you can. I mean story along with pictures. My suggestion to you, sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sonam. I have left the story half said. There is a vast difference in teaching foreign and native students. It was really challenging but at the same time enriching. Thank you for the suggestions.
