Improving English language teaching in Thailand

This folio includes the report of four studies which provide insights into more effective teaching of English in secondary schools in Thailand. The major study focused on a collaborative process with teachers to develop professional development to improve the teaching of English. Three minor studies investigate related issues: teachers' views on teaching English, a case study of teaching LOTE in an Australian school and professional development in Thai schools. Interactive, participatory or student-centred pedagogies to improve the teaching of English as a foreign language in Thai classrooms are possible.
