Internship Life
Thailand English Teaching Internship

The day always starts early, particularly if you are on the kitchen duty rotation. After a breakfast that normally consists of pancakes or porridge, volunteers who are gaining their TEFL qualification take part in information sessions about English teaching methods and techniques, followed by peer, trainer and feedback sessions and assisted lesson planning for evening classes. Those who have already completed the TEFL programme will work upon lesson plans or prepare their daily activity, ensuring they are organized for the day's work before making their way to the community centre or other places of work. The content of the lessons and the presentation techniques to be used are the responsibility of the volunteers, and one of the big opportunities of this programme is to rise to that challenge and become creative!
