My name's Caroline and I am a student at the University of Winchester, where I am training to be a primary school teacher. I have been given the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant in Thailand for two months this summer (who would say no!?) and have just arrived in the country!
Here are some of the things I want to achieve while over here:
- Build friendships with Thai locals and the ETAs working out in Thailand so that I can enjoy my time in Thailand to the max
- Be adventurous! Try foods I haven't had before, explore the areas I am staying in and generally do things I don't have the opportunity to do at home
- Learn more about myself as a teacher, and how I can use the experience working in a Thai school to improve my classroom practice back in the UK
- Engage the students in lessons by providing interactive and enjoyable opportunities for learning
- Learn some Thai!
- Travel around the country - ideally visit an island/waterfall/jungle/ride an elephant/experience night life in Bangkok
Will post in a few days how I am settling in and what have been up to!
Thanks to the University of Winchester, British Council, Thai Ministry of Education, Property Care Services PCS and DLA Piper for the opportunity!
