Facilitating English language learners in English-medium instruction classrooms in the Thai school context : Part 1

Synopsis
For the past decade, there has been an increasingly growing trend of teaching content through English in Thai schools where students are considered English language learners. Past research has shown that students’ English language proficiency has largely affected how they learn content in English-medium instruction or EMI classrooms. Classroom teachers, thus, have an important role in facilitating students’ learning, not only in terms of content but also the English language. In this interactive webinar, we will discuss the reality of EMI classrooms in Thai schools, as well as how content teachers and language teachers can balance between varied language needs of the students and learning goals of the subject.

15.00 - 17.00 hrs.

Storytelling in the Primary Classroom

Synopsis
Storytelling is an essential part of every culture, used to pass on essential tenets of culture and history, and shared values. Storytelling in English is also an invaluable tool for building literacy, as well as providing opportunities to practise the four skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking. In this interactive workshop, teachers will evaluate various techniques to use storytelling effectively as a teaching tool, both in an online setting and face-to-face in the classroom.

Teachers will :

  • Gain a better understanding on the value of storytelling in their classroom and how narrative can develop critical thinking skills.
  • Consider useful techniques of storytelling to keep young children engaged through a shared reading experience.
  • Consider different ways of preparing a story effectively using conventional and unconventional means such as video, props and theatrics.
  • Consider strategies to connect fictional stories with the real world.
  • Consider how to use storytelling to facilitate literacy development.

Active Learning for Secondary Classroom in the age of COVID

Synopsis
This interactive workshop will consider the meaning and benefits of “active learning” before moving on to some of the challenges facing teachers in creating an environment for active learning when teaching is online or, at best, only face-to-face for short periods of time. Participants will evaluate a range of activities for implementing active learning strategies, which can be easily adapted for the online environment. We will also consider ways to exploit the textbook when teaching online, and look at a number of websites that offer free resources to help teachers in these challenging times.

Using English as a Medium of Instruction: Challenges and Opportunities for teaching and learning in the Thai context

Synopsis
English-medium instruction has been adopted in Thai schools in a number of forms such as English programs (EP), mini English programs (MEP), integrated English programs (IEP), bilingual programs, multilingual programs, as well as international programs. Despite the increasing trend in English-medium instruction programs, there has been great concern, especially in using the English language in teaching and learning. Whereas Thai teachers may feel reluctant in using English, native English-speaking teachers or non-Thai teachers can also find it difficult to teach Thai students whose English language proficiency may be insufficient for acquiring knowledge. In this interactive seminar, we will discuss challenges and opportunities for teaching and learning in this context which can facilitate students’ learning in English-medium instruction programs.

14.00 - 16.30 hrs.

Synopsis
The Covid-19 outbreak has caused one of the largest disruptions in education. Schools, colleges, universities, and many other educational institutions must deal with a number of rapid changes at all levels.
