|
|
Does anyone else struggle with the bizzarre and irrelevant Thai English curriculum? No wonder that Thailand recently ranked lowest in SE Asia in English speaking ability when the clueless officials down at the Education Department force us to comply with a syllabus which includes such classic, useless Thai sentences as:
"Does her brother want to eat strawberries?"
what's worse is the monotony of the syllabus, for one whole week I had to (according to my trusty syllabus) teach the question "What fruit do you like?" followed next week by the riveting "What fruit don't you like?" |

Very true! I think my pineapple man has just bought a shiny new scooter with all the baht i've been handing over! The beer shop woman is pleased I live across the road too, not to mention the satay grill guy and the baa mee muu daeng women! |
