SEE's accredited
TEFL Certification in Chiang Mai Thailand enables its graduates
to successfully step in to a classroom and teach English. Participants
experience 6 1-hour teaching practices with real students in real schools.
The schools include a nursing college, a kindergarten, a primary school
and a government university. SEE's teaching inputs combined with the teaching
practices give participants the knowledge, skills, confidence and experience
to be an English language teacher.
Thai students, in general, are very shy and reserved. Students'
mistakes in class in front of their classmates lead to a great loss
of face (sia naa), so teachers need to be patient and understanding.
SEE's cultural awareness training prepares
teachers in order to avoid possible cultural embarrassment.
An ability to speak Thai is not necessary, although attempts to
communicate in Thai are greatly appreciated by your school and Thai
friends. Survival Thai-language instruction gives teachers the ability
to request information and to hold short conversations. In addition,
teachers are presented with a self-study language pack for further
language development.
Teachers are highly respected within Thai society and as a foreigner
who has come to Thailand to help in the development of the country
you are given special respect.
