We have just wrapped up an amazing course on a beautiful island with nine wonderful teachers in training (now Teach Abroad Thailand TEFL certified teachers!!). The weather co-operated, only raining on ‘in the classroom’ days, staying beautifully sunny for the weekends and offering up that precious bit of cloud cover for the sporting activity days on site at the Thai schools.
The teaching days were a great success. Some of the students were even crying as they said good bye to the our teachers in training. It was moving to see our group in training having such a wonderful impact in such a short period of time. Lamai school even gave each of our teachers a sea shell mobile as a thank you gift, and one Thai student took the time to hand make a thank you card for each of them. (“When you no here, I miss you!” Direct adorable quote.)
The teachers made good use of their weekends, they took part in cabaret shows (Spicy!), did motorbike tours of the island, had interesting sing alongs, rode on elephants, visited waterfalls and even made it to a Full Moon Party (I heard something about a flaming skipping rope! ). A few of them even managed to hold a short conversation in Thai after having their Thai lessons! Most importantly they also spent the time making excellent production activities for the students which were very well received.
The course was very enjoyable and it was great to have such excited, dedicated, creative and enthusiastic people!! Your future students will be very happy to have you, and that is really what Teach Abroad Thailand is about!
