More than 40 Pattaya English teachers leaned how to implement a new Israel-based language-learning program designed for elementary school-age children.
The 45 Prathom 1-6 teachers began or continued training in the “My First English Adventure” curriculum developed by Israeli educator Yael Bejarano March 8. The program is a story-based program designed for teaching English as a Foreign Language to young learners in their first years of learning English.
Sirina Khainongsuang, franchisee for My First English Adventure in Thailand, led a group of instructors in training the teachers using specially designed media tools.
The teacher-training course was designed to impart as much knowledge as possible through usage of teacher’s kits, flash cards, posters, pictures, books and DVDs. Audio CDs offer examples of proper pronunciation.
The course focused on better understating, memorization, understanding and increase confidence for students according to theories on learning language.
